The Democrat’s decision to return the funds puts additional pressure on a wide range of other political organizations, many of whom have not yet said how they will move forward after accepting the FTX founder’s significant contributions during the 2022 election cycle. Their decision may also be motivated by a desire to distance themselves from the former CEO’s crimes.

So far, Bankman-Fried has been reported to have contributed approximately $40 million to campaign committees and organizations largely supporting democrats this year alone. The disgraced CEO also claimed that the gave money to the Republican party(Grand Old Party), but such contributions were made through nonprofit groups that do not disclose the identity of their donors.
