Nine members of House Financial Services Committee received donations from Bankman-Fried, other FTX employees
...
Members of the House Financial Services Committee have received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Sam Bankman-Fried and others at his now-bankrupt cryptocurrency company FTX.

Bankman-Fried funneled an estimated $262,200 to Republicans throughout the 2021-2022 election cycle, according to FEC records. His contributions to Republicans paled in comparison to the nearly $40 million he contributed to Democratic campaigns but still represented a significant sum

Total shit show

Looks like he was pretty generous to himself also...

So return the stolen money? Problem solved.
