Who has returned donations or contributions from FTX amid the firm’s reputational risks?
Before its downfall, crypto exchange FTX and its then-CEO Sam Bankman-Fried had been some of the most prolific spenders in the space, bailing out crypto firms and donating to political campaigns and media outlets.

Bankman-Fried said in May he had been willing to donate between $100 million and $1 billion to lawmakers as part of elections in 2024. Bloomberg reported on Dec. 12 — hours before SBF’s arrest in the Bahamas — that his total donations could be at least $73 million, given directly to candidates or through political action committees (PACs).

What the Russia-Ukraine conflict has revealed about crypto
