This is an old game. You buy one long future and short a future. You move the winner to the client's account and the loser to the firm's trading account. Voila, a large donation to a political winner that doesn't run afoul of election laws. This is what bagmen on the floor do for a living, though they usually put the winners in the co. accounts and the losers in the client accounts.
