Those are the donations that were declared, to maintain a pretense of propriety. What sits in Panama, you'll probably never know. 150k is too low a price for that seat, particularly since the cash-for-peerages practice is now so old that the competition must be significant. Either there is more undeclared or this guy knows where the bodies are buried.
