Before his FTX empire imploded last November, Sam Bankman-Fried showered politicians with tens of millions of dollars in campaign contributions. The bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange now wants that money back. FTX Group announced on Sunday that it is sending “confidential letters” to politicians and other political beneficiaries of Bankman-Fried, his deputies, and his companies, requesting that the money be returned by the end of the month. The debtors stated in a press release that they “reserve the right” to seek repayment – plus interest – through court action.
