JUST IN: The U.S. government is dropping six charges against crypto scammer Sam Bankman-Fried including campaign finance violations and conspiracy to commit bribery charges.
Making bribes with stolen money is fine as long as that money is going to U.S. politicians.

The DOJ is dropping their campaign finance prosecution of SBF b/c it would implicate too many powerful politicians in DC
And guess when they announced it?
Friday night before a 3 day weekend

SBF case generated too much publicity to be ignored.
DOJ severed the campaign finance violations, which implicated Democrats, from the first trial.
They declined to move forward with the second trial.
No bribes will be made public.

So we won’t know which politicians he bribed or who’s campaigns he influenced? That collective sigh of relief you are hearing is from the DEEP STATE. https://t.co/8eEkYI869b

Federal prosecutors said Friday that they wouldn’t try Sam Bankman-Fried on additional criminal charges that weren’t part of the fall trial that resulted in the FTX founder’s conviction for fraud related to the collapse of his crypto exchange.
The move, announced in a letter to the presiding judge, clears the way for the FTX founder to be sentenced on March 28. A second trial would have delayed that sentencing, and Bankman-Fried already faces the possibility of decades in prison.
