The Democrats' Senate Majority PAC is planning to return $1M contributed by SBF and $2M from Nishad Singh; the House Majority PAC got $6M from SBF and "will send funds in question wherever authorities instruct us".

My understanding is that SBF also made similar contributions to Republicans and conservative PACs etc, but generally hid them (e.g. by giving in other people's names), so those may be harder to track down & return.

The indictment (which required providing evidence to a grand jury for each count to establish probable cause) includes charges of illegal concealed-identity political donations. While it doesn't specify the recipients, this is consistent with his description of how he donated to Republicans to avoid criticism for such donations.

- nonethewiser 4y agoNot that I've seen. The other replies seem to support it yet don't provide any evidence.
