...Ferraro campaign staff points out that Zaccaro could have simply bought his wife's property directly without going through Lerman, but "because of the recent FEC experience it did not occur to him."

In view of Ferraro's whopping profit after just five months, it is not entirely certain that the sale and repurchase met this standard...
