CoinVoice has recently learned that according to Cointelegraph, a U.S. federal judge approved the Department of Justice's request to delay the confiscation of funds donated by former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) to political action committees (PACs). The Department of Justice is discussing the confiscation of these funds with SBF's lawyers. These donations mainly go to Democratic-related committees, including House Majority PAC, Senate Majority PAC, FF PAC, FF USA Action, EMILYs List, and GMI PAC. Judge Lewis Kaplan approved the extension of the deadline for submitting third-party petitions to September 13. SBF donated approximately $40 million to political candidates and PACs in 2022, mainly to influence the U.S. government's policy on cryptocurrencies. [Original link]
