An amended indictment accused Bankman-Fried of directing two FTX executives to evade contribution limits by donating to Democrats and Republicans and to conceal where the money came from.
Sam Bankman-Fried used money he stole from customers of his FTX cryptocurrency exchange to make more than $100 million in political campaign contributions before the 2022 U.S. midterm elections, federal prosecutors said on Monday.
An amended indictment accused the 31-year-old former billionaire of directing two FTX executives to evade contribution limits by donating to Democrats and Republicans, and to conceal where the money came from.
“He leveraged this influence, in turn, to lobby Congress and regulatory agencies to support legislation and regulation he believed would make it easier for FTX to continue to accept customer deposits and grow,” the indictment said.
Bankman-Fried faces seven counts of conspiracy and fraud over FTX’s collapse, though the indictment no longer includes conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws as a separate count.

He gave 99% to Blue and 1% to Red, so the MSM can say “he favored both parties equally.”
Amazing how politicians dont do due diligence with these funds!
Maybe he will get 3 weeks of probation.
$40 dollar ghost ballots don’t create themselves...
It is a bit of truth coming out right? Maybe we are starting to get traction with the underlings who don’t want to be killed by our self appointed elites. I will take a Win here on this article.

Who was the 1%...Romney?
Can they arrest Biden for receiving stolen property?
“”Amazing how politicians don’t do due diligence with these funds!””
I will never forget when Barack Hussein and John McLame were running. McLame stated they would inspect every dollar and reject any dollar that even had the hint of a problem.
Barack Hussein stated he would use any and all funds to win, and ‘later on’ he would return any tainted $$$.
The Drive-By Media stenographers just ate it up. Back then, Hussein could have announced he was going to eliminate the freedom of the press, and the lapdog press would have celebrated.
What could possibly be bad enough to wish on this guy....
payoffs to both parties, and more like 60% Democrats, 40% Republicans ... probably because Dems in power ... typical of non-ideological payoffs by special interests ...
nonetheless, the fascist corporate propaganda media publishes only selected numbers to deliberately give the false impression of greater payoffs to Republicans ...
Want On or Off list? Frmail me.
“He gave 99% to Blue and 1% to Red, so the MSM can say “he favored both parties equally.””
And of that 1%, .0005% went to Trump. Oh no, another Trump indictment is coming.
This is gonna be like the sweetheart deal Hunter was offered. If this creature is charged with this, he probably did monstrous things that would even embarrass BeijingBiden.
“...though the indictment no longer includes conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws as a separate count.”
Gee. Ya’d think THAT would be pretty important! But that got DROPPED? *SPIT*
Receiving stolen property I believe is a crime. BWTH we don’t have laws anymore.
