The U.S. government is stepping up efforts to recover millions of dollars in political donations made by former FTX executives Sam Bankman-Fried and Nishad Singh. A recent court filing revealed that the government is negotiating with several Democratic-aligned political action committees (PACs) to reclaim these funds.
The PACs in question include Senate Majority PAC, Future Forward PAC, Emily’s List/Women Vote, and GMI PAC. These organizations received significant donations from Bankman-Fried and Singh, often through the use of blank checks.
Nishad Singh, a key figure in the FTX scandal, recently received a lenient sentence of time served and three years of supervised release in exchange for his cooperation with the government. His testimony has been instrumental in building the case against Bankman-Fried, who faces multiple charges related to fraud and money laundering.

The government’s pursuit of these political donations underscores the extent of the financial wrongdoing committed by Bankman-Fried and his associates. As the legal proceedings unfold, it remains to be seen how much of the donated funds will be recovered and returned to the public.
