 <p>“It would be great if incoming Attorney General can look into why the campaign finance charges against SBF were dropped. Why was it not in the public's interest to pursue charges related to the $100 million of stolen customer funds given to Democrats to influence elections?, he questioned.</p>

<p>He asked the incoming Attorney General to investigate SBF’s $100 million campaign finance breaches. Notably, the Department of Justice (DoJ) dropped these charges mid-last year, moving the SBF tale away from politics. He also highlighted that it is in the public interest to know why the funds went to fund Democrat elections, which has gained a lot of reactions among crypto stakeholders.</p>   
<p>In a reply to Cameron’s post, an X user noted that the public trust in the legal system takes a hit when high-profile cases involving political donations end up with charges being dropped. The user highlighted that people expect the justice system to fully investigate financial crimes, especially those that could have impacted political decisions or outcomes.</p>

<p>In a latest develoment, Donald Trump has chosen the hedge fund veteran Scott Bessent to serve as his Treasury Secretary. This ended a highly competitive search for the position, which saw numerous big names in the running. Tesla CEO Elon Musk had publicly endorsed Howard Lutnick as a candidate who could bring about necessary change, contrasting Lutnick’s approach with Bessent's more traditional stance. However, Bessent has remained a vocal advocate for Trump’s economic policies, especially his pro-tariff stance.&nbsp;</p>   
<p>In another X <a href="https://x.com/cameron/status/1860324690171937256">post</a>, the Wnklevoss twin praised the nomination of Scott Bessent as the Treasury Secretary. He noted that Scott Bessent offers one of the best explanations for the war on crypto. He also noted that the Democratic Party tried to destroy crypto to distract from taking $100 million+ in illegal donations of stolen FTX customer funds from SBF.</p>   
<p>After FTX’s former engineering chief Nishad Singh successfully avoided prison time when he was sentenced by Judge Lewis Kaplan last month, Gary Wang also escaped prison due to his cooperation with the prosecutors.&nbsp;</p>   
<p>Also, in the sentencing submission, prosecutors added that since testifying against the former FTX CEO, Wang has “put his extraordinary computer programing skills to use in detecting potential fraud in the stock and cryptocurrency markets,” and has built an interface that the government has started using for detecting potential fraud by publicly traded companies.</p>
