United States Attorney Damian Williams also said, in conclusion, that the delay in sentencing that would be caused by a second trial on campaign finance fraud charges would leave the public and Bankman-Fried "in limbo concerning the consequences of conviction."
"The interest in avoiding delay weighs particularly heavy here, where the judgement will likely include orders or forfeiture and restitution for the victims of the defendant's crimes."
Restitution will, as a result of this, not be made by any of the politicians to whose campaigns Bankman-Fried donated, as he will not be tried on those grounds and those politicians will not be named.
"The SBF case became too high-profile for the DOJ to completely ignore, but they made sure laundering $100 million of customers’ money to Schumer, Biden, and McConnell and other dark money groups would never blow back on the 'elite.' Trump faces 700 years in federal prison, but America’s uniparty cabal just gave themselves a get out of jail free card. You’re witnessing DC corruption in realtime," Charlie Kirk said.
