53. It is not actually a crime to receive prohibited contributions. It's a crime to keep them.

As already explained, there is a grace period the campaign is allowed to deal with prohibited contributions, and the vast majority of contributions are legitimate (you'll note that the letter does not list millions of entries).

And in all this time, they still haven't figured out how to be proactive and prevent these types of things before they happen?

They do not need to and they probably just can't. No campaign is expected to control the actions of their donors and refunding prohibited donations has been normal for a very long time. You keep framing this as if the Sanders campaign is intentionally breaking the law and this situation is novel, but that's not actually the case. They are not the ones making the donations. All they can do is deal with those donations and all evidence available shows that they have been.
