The November election is long over, but one item of business remains: a mysterious contribution from one of the top executives at FTX, the high-flying cryptocurrency exchange that recently declared bankruptcy after an old-fashioned run on the bank.
The Oregonian reported that the contribution to the Democratic Party of Oregon Political Action Committee, the largest in the PAC’s history, was made in the name of a Las Vegas-based crypto startup called Prime Trust. But it actually came from Nishad Singh, director of engineering at FTX, and the DPO PAC didn’t correct the information until the paper called about it, The Oregonian said.
When Secretary of State Shemia Fagan read about the error, she immediately requested that the Oregon Elections Division open an investigation, spokesman Ben Morris says.
Here are the details:
HOW MUCH?
$500,000
WHO GOT IT?
The Democratic Party of Oregon PAC
WHERE DID IT GO?
Campaign cash is fungible but the DPO filings show it spent $2.69 million this year on Gov.-elect Tina Kotek’s campaign. That’s more than half the $4.5 million the DPO spent this year.
WHY IT MATTERS
Politicians often have to return or regift contributions when big contributors, such as the Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, fall into disgrace.

already spent it ,LOL
Wait until the bankruptcy attorneys start on clawback operations. Funds were siphoned off for a bribe and needs to be returned to the fleeced and defrauded consumer investors.
They flooded the TV and internet with attack ads the last 4 weeks.
Right; too late to send it back because it has already been used to further the Dementocrat’s agenda.
They used their ‘forty pieces of silver’ to further destroy the state of Oregon.
Would they take the Governor-elect?
Bet every states dem party got $$$ from FTX
FoTeX Kotek.
