The Biden regime has decided to drop a campaign finance charge against Sam Bankman-Fried, the FTX founder and massive Democrat donor who is charged with many felony counts of cryptocurrency fraud.
“In keeping with its treaty obligations to the Bahamas, the government does not intend to proceed to trial on the campaign contributions count,” federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York stated in their letter to the Judge presiding over Bankman-Fried’s case.
Bankman-Fried donated $46.5 million to Democrats in 2022 and was one of the Party’s biggest donors. Now, he is getting let off of any potential campaign finance violations scot free.
Financial news analyst Teddy Schliefer analyzed the news in a Twitter thread:

SBF essentially got off on a technicality.
SBF was extradited in December from the Bahamas to the US to face a set of specific charges.
The Feds believed that included campaign finance charges. SBF challenged that, and the Bahamas just agreed with him — so the Feds dropped it.

Big League Politics has reported on how the fix is likely in for Bankman-Fried due to his deep political connections with the Biden regime and Democrat Party:
“Alleged cryptocurrency fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried has been assigned a judge who oversaw a high-profile Jeffrey Epstein case and allowed Hollywood actor Kevin Spacey walk in a case where he was accused of sexually abusing a child.
District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan has been assigned the case against Bankman-Fried, the FTX co-founder who has been accused of fraud for allegedly swindling investors and stealing their deposits. Bankman-Fried has received glowing coverage from the media despite the fraud allegations after donating tens of millions to Democrats during the 2022 midterm elections.
Kaplan oversaw a case by Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre against Prince Phillip. Kaplan eventually signed the papers to dismiss the lawsuit after a settlement was reached. He also oversaw a case against Kevin Spacey from actor Anthony Rapp, who alleged that Spacey molested him when he was 14 in the 1980s. The jury exonerated Spacey after Rapp expressed sympathy for Spacey’s attorneys and attempted to withhold evidence showing that Spacey had been accused multiple times of sexual assault during the case.
Kaplan was appointed to the bench in 1994 by former President Bill Clinton, who has also been tied to Epstein’s pedophile network.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) announced charges against Bankman-Fried on Dec. 13 after the crypto mogul spent weeks going on a publicity tour denying culpability in the collapse of the FTX exchange. He faces up to 55 years in prison if he is convicted of all felony charges.”
Look at how Donald Trump and individuals with ties to him are being treated by the legal system, and compare that to the coddling of Bankman-Fried. That indicates the extreme bias of the illegitimate Biden regime in conducting their investigations and prosecutions.
