Reform UK chair calls for probe into SBF-linked donation: Report
As the chairman of the Reform UK calls for an investigation into a FTX-linked political donation, the party’s leader prepares to face voters amid his own crypto-related scandal.
Reform UK chair Lee Anderson has called for an investigation into a $50,000 political donation linked to former FTX CEO Sam "SBF" Bankman-Fried, as the Reform party leader prepares to face voters amid his own crypto-related scandal. The donation reportedly came from a think tank called Labour for the Long Term, which founder David Lawrence claimed received the funds from a donor other than Bankman-Fried.
Reform leader Nigel Farage, who is set to face voters in a by-election triggered by his resignation as an MP, received $6.7 million in donations from crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne and convicted fraudster George Cottrell. The US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit recently upheld Bankman-Fried's 25-year prison sentence, leaving him with limited legal options for early release.
