Federal prosecutors on Thursday dropped another charge against FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried.
The feds dropped a campaign finance charge against the crypto scammer and Democrat donor due to a ‘procedural failing.’
Sam Bankman-Fried, a 30-year-old Democrat darling, spent more than $40 million to fund the midterms with his Ponzi scheme through the crypto exchange he founded (FTX).
Up to $2 billion is ‘missing’ after FTX collapsed last year.

Sam Bankman-Fried is still facing wire fraud and securities fraud charges.
Prosecutors told the judge they were dropping the campaign finance charge because they “failed to obtain permission from the government of the Bahamas for that charge when Bankman-Fried was extradited from the island nation in December.” – CNBC reported.

Prosecutors told Judge Lewis Kaplan on Wednesday that they were dropping the charge of conspiracy to make unlawful campaign contributions because they had failed to obtain permission from the government of the Bahamas for that charge when Bankman-Fried was extradited from the island nation in December.
