Indiana Democratic Party to give FTX CEO’s donation to charity

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indiana Democratic Party will give a donation from embattled FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried to charity.

An I-Team 8 review of documents with the Federal Election Commission found Bankman-Fried donated $9,756.20 to the Indiana Democratic Congressional Victory Committee on Aug. 31.

Bankman-Fried made donations of the same amount to 10 other state-level Democratic groups on the same date.

Federal prosecutors charged Bankman-Fried with a host of crimes surrounding the collapse of FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange.

Investigators say he intentionally deceived customers and investors to enrich himself and others, while playing a central role in the company’s multibillion-dollar collapse.

On Tuesday, prosecutors also accused Bankman-Fried of making “tens of millions of dollars” of illegal campaign contributions.

A spokesperson for the Indiana Democratic Party told I-Team 8 that the party will donate the money to charity.

BS - they’re just giving it to their cronies who will redonate it back. Aka money laundering.

This is so wrong.

Some demm gen z pol said he was going to give it to an lgbt group.

NO F NO.

It needs to go to ftx creditors.

This was stolen money, you cannot just give it away and wash your hands.

The Democrats will give the money to “charities” that are really their subsidiaries. Planed Parenthood, BLM, the ACLU, and their ilk will be receiving windfalls.

How about putting into a pool to go back to investors who were robbed?

I will bet that 99% of politicians will either keep the money they got OR donate it to a fake charity like the "[insert politicians name here] Global Charity Fund" meaning they keep the money, just in a laundered manner.

They are going to donate the money to their friends, rather than to the people who were robbed.

I seem to remember with the Bernie Madoff scandal, in some cases investors profits were clawed back as in essence being part of an illegal scheme. Much like receiving stolen goods, I would imagine.

Oh, you know the answer to that: most likely the “home for starving dimokrats.”

I don’t believe they can but I have an open mind.

They will probably cut a deal to launder most of the money back to the Indiana Rats under another donor name.

We’re talking 10 grand. In today’s election budgets, we’re talking numbers almost too miniscule to find.

10 cents on the dollar may go to some LBGT “charity”, the rest goes right back to the rats.
