I wonder if any of the politicians who took his crypto money are going to give any of it back. Looks like a few are, but some are remaining silent: https://ww

  > Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) said he spent money given to him by Bankman-Fried to drive turnout for Andrea Salinas, a Latina running for Congress in Oregon—whom Bankman-Fried spent millions to defeat during the district’s Democratic primary. > “So, I think I’ve paid it back,” Gallego said. I don't think he has the same definition of "paid it back" as most people do.

  I don’t understand the pressure to give bad people their money back. What’s it supposed to accomplish? I’m not sure it should even be legal to send money to SBF. It’s seeming more and more likely that he’s head of a criminal conspiracy.

    If the money was stolen, it was never SBF's to give. The law does have provisions that can force the clawback of stolen funds. But because we're talking about politicians here, I don't think anybody believes the law will be enforced equally to them.

    It's supposed to prove that you're better than they are. It's not supposed to accomplish anything other than that.

  Looks like some of the politicians are re-gift the donations to charity. https://fortune.com/crypto/2022/11/15/politicians-sam-bankman-fried-donations-ftx-charity/ https://fortune.com/crypto/2022/11/15/politicians-sam-bankma...
