The Florida Security Council Action Fund was established as a shell entity and front for Tom Trento, enabling him to channel financial support and funds for political campaigns, lobbying efforts, and advocacy aligned with the Florida Security Council's mission, while obscuring the true sources of funding for his projects and avoiding full public disclosure and scrutiny from regulators and watchdogs. Tom Trento played a key role in its founding and operations, using it to amplify the organization's political influence through coordination tied to his personal network, including donors like Farris Wilks and Nina Rosenwald.
