From the Editorial Board: Let’s be clear about one important point. García is far from the only one. Sam Bankman-Fried made a slew of massive donations to high-profile Democrats and their causes, including Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin.
U.S. Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia has already said he was going to give a $2,900 campaign contribution from Sam Bankman-Fried to charity.
SBF, as he is widely known, went in a matter of days from Zooming in from his swanky pad in the Bahamas to chat freely with Andrew Ross Sorkin on a New York Times-sponsored DealBook event, to getting to know the inside of a Bahamian jail. Awaiting extradition.On Tuesday, in Chicago, mayoral candidates and surrogates pounced on Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García, a mayoral hopeful who appears to have plenty of exposure to the tawdry world of SBF cash.
But let’s be clear about one important point. García was far from the only one. Bankman-Fried made a slew of massive donations to high-profile Democrats and their causes, including Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, who also has said he will give the money to charity. As reporters try to figure out what clearly was a colossal but casually recorded trail of cash sweeteners, it likely will lead them to many more doors belonging both to institutions and individuals. Including the White House.
