The Question
REPORTED. The Wall Street Journal reported that donor Eric Deters says Kimberly Guilfoyle, now the U.S. ambassador to Greece, asked him in July 2025 to wire $100,000 to her American Express card in exchange for access. Her lawyer, Jesse Binnall, disputes the messages' authenticity. The Old Goat's earlier dispatch covers the allegation. This page covers three public records that sit next to it and the one question they raise but do not answer: who owns a consulting firm that a PAC paid $220,000.
What the FEC Shows
DOCUMENTED. The Old Goat queried the Federal Election Commission's disbursement records on Oct. 12. Make America Great Again, Again! Inc. (committee C00790477) paid KGT Global Consulting LLC of West Palm Beach, Florida, for "fundraising consulting" in nine payments: $60,000 on Dec. 31, 2021, then $20,000 on Jan. 14, Feb. 1, March 1, April 1, May 2, June 1, July 1 and Aug. 1, 2022. The total is $220,000. The FEC records do not name KGT's owner.
DOCUMENTED. The same FEC database shows Eric Deters of Independence, Kentucky, employer Deters Law, gave that committee $125,000 on Feb. 11, 2022, between the Feb. 1 and March 1 payments to KGT. Identity is by name, city and employer, from a name search.
DOCUMENTED. KGT was not paid by this one committee only. The FEC shows it also received $80,000 from Make America Great Again Action Inc. in 2021, $10,000 payments from Greitens for US Senate and Missouri First in 2021, $10,000 payments from Resilience PAC in 2023, and $31,500 from Buckeye Values PAC in 2024, all for fundraising consulting.
What Florida Shows
DOCUMENTED. The Florida Division of Corporations lists KGT Global Consulting LLC, document number L21000048063, filed Feb. 8, 2021 and active, at 2475 Mercer Avenue, Suite 103, West Palm Beach. Its only listed authorized person is Anthony Guilfoyle. Its registered agent is Ariel J. Dorra, changed in 2023 and again in March 2026. Kimberly Guilfoyle's name does not appear in the filing.
NOT VERIFIED. The ambassador has a brother named Anthony "Tony" Guilfoyle, according to entertainment and aggregator sites the Old Goat found. The Old Goat has not confirmed that he is the Anthony Guilfoyle in the Florida filing, and a shared surname is not proof of a family tie or of any payment to the ambassador. The Old Goat has not contacted Anthony Guilfoyle, Eric Deters or the ambassador's office, and will add any response.
What the Tax Court Shows
DOCUMENTED. The U.S. Tax Court's public docket lists Eric Deters & Mary Deters v. Commissioner of Internal Revenue, docket 19882-24, Kentucky petitioners, petition filed Dec. 20, 2024, trial location Cincinnati. Mary Deters was dismissed from the case for lack of jurisdiction in February 2025 and later ratified the petition. On July 27, 2026, the court granted the IRS partial summary judgment on two issues the docket labels "theft loss" and "penalty approval," denied Eric Deters's motion to strike and his motion to compel depositions, and sent the case back to the general docket for trial on the remaining issues. The docket does not give tax years or amounts, and the Old Goat does not know what the dispute is about beyond those labels.
NOT VERIFIED. The court lists the petitioner by name and state. Kentucky and a Cincinnati trial location are consistent with the Independence lawyer in the FEC records, but the Old Goat has not confirmed they are the same man. A ruling on motions is not a finding about the merits of the whole case. The petition was filed in December 2024, six months before Billy Long was confirmed as IRS commissioner.
What the Old Goat Thinks It Means
This part is opinion, labeled as opinion. The Old Goat's INFERENCE is that the ownership of KGT is a question worth asking in public, because the reported messages describe a wire route said not to "show up anywhere," and a consulting LLC that a donor's gift sits inside is one place such money could in principle travel. That is a possibility, not a finding. The ambassador's financial disclosure should list consulting clients and outside income, and the Old Goat has not found the nominee report online.
Counter-evidence, plainly, and there is a lot. KGT was paid by at least five committees over three years, in what the FEC calls ordinary fundraising consulting, which suggests a working vendor and not a pass-through for one donor. The payments to KGT from this committee were flat at $20,000 a month before and after the Deters gift, with no change tied to it. The Journal's reported demand was for a wire to an American Express account, not to a company. No source the Old Goat read ties KGT to the ambassador, to Deters, or to the Journal's allegations. Nothing in the Tax Court docket mentions Guilfoyle, Long, KGT or any donation, and a taxpayer's dispute with the IRS is not evidence of anything else. The Old Goat does not claim otherwise.
A name on a state filing is a question. It is not an answer.
The records that would settle it are specific: the ambassador's 278e financial disclosure and ethics agreement, a statement from Anthony Guilfoyle or KGT's registered agent, and the Tax Court case file for docket 19882-24. The House Oversight Democrats have asked the ambassador for records behind her disclosure by Oct. 22. The Old Goat will update this page when any of them appear.
