Sam Bankman-Fried to have campaign donation charge dropped: Prosecutors By Cointelegraph

[ad_1]



United States prosecutors are expected to drop one of the charges against FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried, which had alleged he conspired to make unlawful campaign contributions.

In a July 26 letter to District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan, U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said the government was informed by The Bahamas that it did not agree to extradite Bankman-Fried on the charge, and thus prosecutors would subsequently not carry it forward to trial.
