Sam Bankman-Fried's cash fuels PAC attacks on NY candidate
CoinDesk·
A political action committee, Think Big PAC, is utilizing past political donations from Sam Bankman-Fried, the former head of the now-defunct global exchange, to criticize a Democratic primary candidate for New York's 12th Congressional District. The PAC distributed a mailer informing voters that the candidate received over $100,000 in support originating from Bankman-Fried. This tactic aims to leverage the controversy surrounding Bankman-Fried's financial dealings and the collapse of his exchange to influence the outcome of the local election, drawing a connection between the candidate and the controversial figure.
