Under a Towel: Why is Schweich hiding his campaign finances?

According to a first-hand account of his locker-room presser, Tom Schweich is spending money for a State Auditor's race.  Specifically, he is paying an internet vendor for a campaign website.

And yet, Schweich has yet to establish a campaign finance committee with the State Ethics Commission.  The Missouri Ethics Law requires Schweich to establish a committee and report his finances once he  "receives contributions or makes expenditures...  with the intent to promote [his] candidacy for office"

You would expect more from the e-steamed Ambassador in Residence at the Washington University School of Law.  Absolutely mind-blowing.
