I just looked it up...Spencer's owns Spirit Halloween, whose revenues over the two months those stores operate every year provides 50 percent of the income of the corporation.

http://aconinvestments.com/portfolio/ - Spencer's owned by Acon Investments. Focus on investments in Latin America and for Hispanics


http://aconinvestments.com/team/ Bernard Aronson CEO of Acon. He worked for State Dept - maybe for Albright.

https://www.ndi.org/board-directors - Bernard Spencer on Acon Board.

Look at other board members, Howard Dean, Tom Daschle

I've been tweeting to @NDI, Madeleine Albright and Shannon Coulter. Would welcome others to do the same.
