\n

As we reported … Bankman-Fried was arrested within the Bahamas on Dec. 12. He was federally charged in New York with eight counts of wire fraud, securities fraud, cash laundering and a marketing campaign finance violation. He faces as much as 115 years in jail if convicted.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

The Bloomberg report is however one other instance of Bankman-Fried’s deep ties with the Washington D.C. institution earlier than Sam was accused of stealing $1.8 billion from buyers in his cryptocurrency scheme. And it is no secret that Sam has donated tens of millions to the campaigns of outstanding politicians, together with Biden.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n

\n

But the White House has declined to say whether or not Biden will return the $5.2 million he obtained from the FTX founder for his 2020 presidential run.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
