Will his political donors have to give back the donations?

• dragonwriter 4y ago
  He is the donor. And, no, recipients of legal donations don’t have to give them back because they came from a bad person. (The illegal donations he seems to have admitted to might have to be given up, but that’s a separate legal issue.)

    Not a lawyer but it does sound like any of the donations could be considered "not legal" would be "clawbacked". https://www.google.com/search?q=sbf+political+donations+clawback https://www.google.com/search?q=sbf+political+donations+claw...

      Well, yes, bankruptcy clawbacks are another issue on top of both the criminal forfeiture discussed upthread and the campaign finance issue I raised in response.

    "The illegal donations he seems to have admitted to..." Source?

      He’s done a lot of ill advised Spaces, I’m sure it’s in one of those.

      Here’s discussion of the complaint based on his admission: https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/08/ftx-ceo-sam-bankman-fried-hit-with-campaign-finance-complaint.html https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/08/ftx-ceo-sam-bankman-fried-hi... Count eight of the indictment also seems related, but its not a “speaking” indictment, so its not super clear.
