Sam Bankman-Fried is getting away with it all. This is what absolute corruption looks like.
The U.S. Department of Justice has decided to drop one of the charges against Sam Bankman-Fried relating to political donations, citing “treaty obligations” with The Bahamas.
The DOJ informed Judge Lewis A. Kaplan via a letter dated July 26 that it does not intend to proceed with the trial on the “unlawful campaign contributions” count.

Daily Caller: The Department of Justice (DOJ) dropped a campaign finance charge against disgraced former crypto tycoon Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) on Wednesday night, according to a court document from the Southern District of New York.
Authorities assert that SBF, co-founder of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, and its associates, utilized customer deposits for $90 million in campaign contributions to around 300 candidates or political action committees, according to The New York Times. The DOJ’s letter to the New York court states that it is not pursuing the charge because The Bahamas did not plan to extradite SBF to the U.S. on it.
“The Government has been informed that The Bahamas notified the United States earlier today that The Bahamas did not intend to extradite the defendant on the campaign contributions count,” the letter asserts. “Accordingly, in keeping with its treaty obligations to The Bahamas, the Government does not intend to proceed to trial on the campaign contributions count.”

SBF contributed nearly $39 million to Democrat-aligned causes, emerging as the second-largest individual donor to them during the 2022 midterm election cycle, according to The Washington Post’s analysis of Federal Election Commission data.
The Bahamas speedily extradited SBF to the U.S. in December when FTX collapsed, according to the NYT. Since then, he has been confined to his parents‘ California residence on a $250 million bond, according to NPR.
