Citing @emilysteel's @nytimes big investigation of DAVE PORTNOY & @BarstoolSports, the @BostonGlobe editorializes that @PENNEntertain (which owns a 36% share in @stoolpresidente's Barstool Sports) should be denied a sports betting license in Massachusetts. https://t.co/dSlq8wxdo4 — PolitiTweet.org

Campaigns & PACs will be required to refund @FTX_Official-linked donations if they are later determined to have been illegal. That could seriously strain PACs that got big donations, since they likely spent most of their cash in the run-up to the midterms https://t.co/RG4KgQwIYe — PolitiTweet.org

FTX's profligate political spending is shaping up as one of the widest-reaching campaign finance scandals in years. It has even touched the watchdog group @CampaignLegal, which is setting aside $2.5M linked to @SBF_FTX because the allegations against him “betray CLC’s mission.” — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

Many Democratic & Republican campaigns & groups are either returning FTX-linked cash, donating it to charity or putting it in escrow in anticipation of @TheJusticeDept setting up a restitution vehicle to compensate @FTX_Official customers who lost money. https://t.co/RG4KgQwIYe — PolitiTweet.org

Prosecutors reached out this week to @marceelias' firm asking for info on donations its clients received from FTX executives. @EliasLawGroup represents the following groups that received a total of $9.7M from FTX executives: ▶️@DNC ▶️@dscc ▶️@dccc ▶️@MajorityPAC ▶️@HouseMajPAC — PolitiTweet.org

NEW: SDNY is seeking info about donations from FTX officials. Not only @SBF_FTX, but also @Nishad__Singh (who gave nearly $9.7M mostly to Dems) & @rsalame7926 (who gave $24M mostly to Republicans). Suggests more campaign finance charges could be coming. https://t.co/RG4KgQwIYe — PolitiTweet.org

RYAN SALAME's girlfriend, @michellebond111, ran a crypto trade group that FTX helped launch. When Bond ran unsuccessfully for Congress, her campaign was boosted by $11.6k from @rsalame7926 & $1.3M in spending by a super PAC funded by another PAC that Salame helped create & fund. https://t.co/eYQZ2LUwdP — PolitiTweet.org

@MattGoldstein26 @ThirdWayKessler @yaffebellany Is this a Matt Goldstein parody account, &, if so, why doesn't the user name clearly indicate as much? — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

NEW: Even as ex-FTX exec RYAN SALAME was emerging as a leading GOP megadonor, he said privately that he was not particularly interested in politics, & suggested his donations were encouraged by others at FTX, hinting at a potential straw donor case. https://t.co/3BSRdZtFLD — PolitiTweet.org

DOJ clarifies: the SBF campaign money allegedly came from Alameda Research, which seems to based in Hong Kong. That'd be illegal because: 1) corporations can't donate to campaigns 2) donations can't be made in others' names 3) foreign entities can't give https://t.co/no1ZkPQhdf https://t.co/n0gideayZb — PolitiTweet.org

.@TheJusticeDept clarifies that the campaign money allegedly came from Alameda Research. That would be illegal on several fronts: 1) corporations can't donate to campaigns 2) donations can't be made in the name of others 3) foreign entities can't donate https://t.co/no1ZkPQhdf https://t.co/CvUbGpYHEG — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

The @SECGov complaint vs @SBF_FTX fleshes out the campaign finance charges a bit, accusing him of improperly diverting customer money to Alameda, then using the $ to make political donations. i.e. using $ he stolen from FTX customers to fund donations. https://t.co/iyjwrG8WAI — PolitiTweet.org

Another potential violation not expressly articulated in the indictment: If @FTX_Official corporate funds were being steered into political donations, that could also constitute illegal FOREIGN donations, since the company was registered in the Bahamas. https://t.co/9J6aVcOU23 https://t.co/vDBsN7y49a — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

According to the indictment: @SBF_FTX & others "knowingly & willfully" made donations to candidates, joint cmtes & super PACs "in the names of other persons" (i.e. illegal straw donations), & made corporate donations to campaigns (which are also illegal). https://t.co/nyEtfzBYwA — PolitiTweet.org

Kenneth P. Vogel @kenvogel

In an encrypted group text, FTX officials & consultants deliberated over how to attribute political donations, & worried they might be violating campaign finance rules, we revealed last month. https://t.co/Qr4kuhQCvM Those concerns were borne out in the indictment unsealed today https://t.co/cf89BjfSzp — PolitiTweet.org
