Fetterman decried dirty corporate money in campaign but made an exception for Sam Bankman-Fried

As you may know, John Fetterman’s politics are pretty much in line with those of Bernie Sanders. He just hates all those rich fatcats and detested the idea of corporate money in his Senate campaign.

There was an exception to this rule, however. Guess who.

Well, what a surprise.

From the Washington Free Beacon:

Senator-elect John Fetterman (D., Pa.) disavowed “dirty money” from corporate interests in his Senate campaign. Crypto scam artist Sam Bankman-Fried was an apparent exception, according to campaign finance records.

Web3 Forward, a pro-crypto super PAC funded heavily by Bankman-Fried, spent more than $210,000 on ads portraying Fetterman as a blue-collar hero who would not “get schmoozed by lobbyists,” the New York Times reported. Bankman-Fried, his crypto firm FTX, and one of his cofounders gave nearly $4.1 million to GMI PAC, another tech-oriented group that is the sole funder of Web3 Forward.

Bankman-Fried’s support for Fetterman undercuts the Democrat’s campaign trail pledge to shun corporate campaign donations. “No dirty money. No corporate PACs,” Fetterman tweeted on May 12, days after the Web3 ads ran supporting him.

Inquiring minds want to know.
