A clutch of advisers to Senator Bernie Sanders began arriving at the Capitol Hill townhouse that served as his makeshift headquarters before dawn last Tuesday, where they readied
themselves to track, among other things, the deluge of donations that would land after Mr. Sanders made his presidential campaign official.
By Monday, after less than a week as a presidential candidate, Mr. Sanders has collected $10 million from 359,914 donors, campaign officials said. But perhaps just as daunting a
figure for his rivals is this: Nearly 39 percent of those donors used an email address that had never before been used to give to Mr. Sanders.
For Mr. Sanders, the flood of money from fresh email addresses suggested to his team that he was dramatically expanding a donor network that had already dwarfed his 2020
competition.
Mr. Sanders raised $73 million in 2015. This year, he entered the race roughly 70 days earlier in the calendar and raised four times as much on his first day, raising the possibility of a
$100 million haul in 2019.
Okay, this might sound crazy but that's a huge amount of money, especially regarding the bolded part of the OP. Of course, I hope this is genuine, but is there a possible chance that this money is being funded by third party interests, and if so is there a chance that if it is funded by non-american interests, that his campaign will be unfairly targeted or slandered?

If there's anything possibly misleading about the number, I think its more likely that people are just using different email addresses than they were 4 years ago. I donated using a different email this year.
