The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) informed a federal judge late Wednesday it did “not intend to proceed” with a campaign finance charge against disgraced FTX founder and Democrat super donor Sam Bankman-Fried.

Consultation with the Bahamas on the campaign finance charges in Bankman-Fried’s original extradition document last year were behind the decision as part of an effort to adhere to the legal obligations therein, Forbes reports.

The campaign finance violation charge was among eight counts present in the DOJ’s original indictment—which also includes wire fraud, securities fraud and money laundering—in December.

Dinesh D’Sousa gives 3000 and goes to jail for years

The DOJ just keeps on justifying the need for Congress to completely defund and dismantle it.

[Aevery_Freeman]

We now have evidence that a crime is only a crime if you didn't steal enough to bribe the cops.

see Bidenomics for details.

[DaBroasta]

He is required to remain at his parents’ home in Palo Alto, California, and his electronic communications have been severely limited.

Talk about white liberal democRAT privilege. I doubt he's in total compliance with either condition.

[chopperk]

Of course the DOJ dropped the charges. FTX pumped millions into the Marxist Dems coffers.

[1Old Pro]

well, the money did go 98% to Democrats, what’s the crime?

[Regulator]

“his electronic communications have been severely limited”

Oh Noes! Not the terrifying severely limited electronic communications prohibition! HOW AWFUL! CRUEL AND UNUSUAL!

Bankster-Fraud walks, as predicted. Baby Madoff won’t do a day in a cell.

[DaBroasta]

Baby Madoff won’t do a day in a cell.

True--I expect his lawyers to use the old 'Yes he may be a crypto genius, but he's too stupid to realize he was committing securities and wire fraud, and money laundering--he thought he was helping people' defense.

[ConservativeInPA]

He’ll get a plea deal, all charges reduced to misdemeanors, a fine, and never serve a day in prison. He paid the correct people.

[FlyingEagle]

Just imagine the political payoffs this fat toad is making now.

[Drew68]

Gotta hand it to Democrats. They circle the wagons for their own.

[Bon of Babble]

Just as I predicted: Each and every charge will slowly but surely be dropped one, by one - under the radar of the media (who are already protecting this guy).

He’ll fade off into the woodwork and serve no time.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

He muusta smoked crack with Hunter.

[blackdog]

Can a state charge him?

[Mashood]

Joes ten mil check must have cleared.

[Texas resident]

You are probably right.

Joe gets paid, charges get dropped.

Where is the banana republic flag?

[Ann Archy]

DISGUSTING!!!! He’s not even in jail.....ALL DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL...this JUDGE is PURE EVIL!

[Ann Archy]

What’s the other one?

[Zathras]

This is my shocked face...
