I heard a rumor that Bank Melli, Saderat Bank and Tejarat bank in Iran were all contributors to the Romney Super-PAC.

OK, I made it up.

But just the fact that it could be true should be enough to demand reform and transparency.

But it does appear that foreign nationals may make such contributions. And with corporate involvement.

Diamond has American citizenship (he has been long enough in the UK to have British citizenship too). It is clearly legal for him to donate to, and vote in, American elections.

Diamond was not the only contributor, and various foreign corporations are involved.

Go ahead, point out anyone in it that doesn't have American citizenship, according either to the article or any other source.

There's nothing in the artilce about foreign corporations giving money. They may employ the American citizens. But that is allowed. Unsurprisingly.

I think the blogger is missing a trick here; the important thing is to point out Romney is associated with dubious bankers who are having to resign. The red herring of where they live and work just spoils the message by making the blogger look a bit incompetent.
