Why are these numbers so different from the original FEC complaint? [0]
> Consequently, based on available data, Mr. Bankman-Fried is the disclosed
source of approximately $37,768,312 in contributions to Democratic candidates, parties, and aligned outside organizations in the 2022 cycle. In contrast, Mr. Bankman-Fried is the disclosed source of approximately $320,400 in contributions to Republican candidates, parties, and aligned outside organizations in the 2022 cycle.
And lest you think these are your typical MAGA republicans receiving the money, they are all the most RINO, uniparty republicans you can imagine [1]:
> Since July, Bankman-Fried has made $5,800 contributions, the maximum individuals can give directly to Congressional campaigns, to the committees of Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Richard Burr

- ceejayoz 3y ago> Why are these numbers so different from the original FEC complaint? Because CREW is a non-governmental organization, and as such, can't get things like a search warrant. They've no more power than you or I to dig into his internal communications and finances. Their complaint is based on publicly available information prior to SBF's arrest. Anyone can file a FEC complaint. I can file one against you claiming you donated $500M to the lizard people controlling Queen Elizabeth II's reanimated corpse. It has no evidentiary value. The government claims they have seized evidence that he secretly was directing tens of millions of dollars to Republican causes via Salame as a straw donor.
