Even before the spectacular collapse of the major cryptocurrency trading platform FTX last week, Republicans and Democrats were going to be in an awkward position regulating the industry, given the tens of millions of dollars many lawmakers took from FTX’s CEO, Sam Bankman-Fried, and his top lieutenant Ryan Salame.



To be fair, he gave money to both sides, so no matter who won, he still had access to the politicians.
 
In theory, they should give the money back but once Bankman-Fried gets tied up in court proceedings, they may not want to.

Of course, the more prudent choice would've been to not take the money to start with....
