Crypto whiz kid Justin Sun is giving away $1.2M to 100 people next year
- aphextim 7y agoI am curious as to how Andrew Yang doesn't get in trouble for 'buying votes'. I know he isn't technically saying, "Vote for me and you'll get $1,000!" However it seems to be implied. FTA >However, he plans to use campaign donations to finance the $120,000 pilot program — a potential violation of campaign finance laws that bar campaigns from giving people anything of value as an incentive to vote, according to the New York Times. >It's also illegal to use campaign funds to cover personal expenses, and recipients of Yang's "freedom dividends" are likely to use them for exactly that purpose, the Times said. I like how they said, "Potential violation" - IANAL however I would be curious as to the specific law that he may or may not be in violation of and how he may be circumventing this.
