- arealaccount 4y ago> announced a $5 million grant to ProPublica on Feb. 28, 2022. Over three years, the donation will support investigations… Curious does the full $5M still stand or does the remaining $3.75M disappear or go back to creditors?
- nullc 4y agoWe know for a fact that SBF gave donations to ProPublica, the intercept, vox, and others. What we don't know and is probably unknowable is to what degree those payments influenced the reporting.
