Federal prosecutors have announced four more criminal charges against Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the crypto trading platform FTX, expanding his potential liability in what authorities allege is a billion dollar fraud.
Bankman-Fried was charged in December in an eight-count indictment. On Thursday an indictment was unsealed adding new charges for a total of 12-counts, including conspiracy to operate an unlicensed money transmitting business, conspiracy to commit bank fraud, and securities fraud.
Bankman-Fried, who was released on a $250 million bond, previously pleaded not guilty to charges announced in December, including one count of conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws. At the time he was charged with multiple counts of conspiracy and wire fraud and conspiring to violate US campaign finance laws by making political donations through straw donors.
The FTX founder made more than 300 illegal political contributions through straw donors totaling tens of millions of dollars paid for by Alameda and FTX funds, according to a newly unsealed indictment.
Despite SBF personally becoming one of the largest publicly reported political donors for the 2022 midterm elections, he fraudulently made donations ahead of the midterms in the names of two FTC executives to further his influence, the court filing says.
Bankman-Fried strategized to make political donations ranging the political spectrum, not wanting to appear left-leaning partisan or to have his name publicly attached to Republican candidates, the indictment says, so he’d make certain contributions in his executives’ names who he thought better fit the bill.

Should be in jail. NO bail.
Instead, he’s out on a $250 million bond.
“Stanford Faculty Members are Keeping Sam Bankman-Fried Out of Jail”
“Two people who co-signed FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s $250 million bail package have been publicly identified as the former dean of Stanford’s law school and a senior research scientist at the elite university.”
This has go to send shivers down the entire Democrat party line..........................
When do the recipients of these stolen funds get charged with “campaign finance violations” (for those who haven’t already returned the money)??
If one really looks at the quality of the bail (hard money, Real estate), the bail amount is less than 10,000,000. Ergo, when Bankman Fried flees or attempts to flee to some country without extradition, the people who put up the minuscule bail will probably be reimbursed, by some liberal entity.
Federal prosecutors and CNN are such partisan liars!
They know 99% of the fat boy's $$$ went to democraps; but hey, let's spin it so nobody gets any bad ideas about the Left...
If I were SBF I would refuse bail and cut a deal to sing like a canary on his Adderall. He will be safer and will be sharing the guilt for his crimes with his co-conspirators around the Beltway. He’s likely to be killed before trial either way. Might as well take as many as you can with you that got you there.
SBF has just been doing his bit to help out the fraudulent vote that put the current Uniparty administration and Senate in charge of the lives of the rest of us.
Darned near succeeded in stopping most of the “Red Tide” that threatened the Deep State. But now, his usefulness is about at its end.
More likely, this little worm will get whacked so he keeps his mouth shut.
He would be singing about some powerful people. He might not want to get Epsteined.
I can’t figure out how he expected to curry big league political favor while disguising that he was the doner.
You know if you are going to be billionaire criminal, I'd think at least he could have had a hot girlfriend.
Oh, you know what they say: “Still waters run deep.”
How come big media and big tech don’t get charged with campaign contribution violations.
Guido, the Killer Pimp!
