Crypto entrepreneur pardoned by Trump donates £36 million to Farage's Reform UK
On Friday, crypto investor Ben Delo announced a record £36 million donation to Britain's populist Reform UK party. This substantial financial contribution significantly bolsters Nigel Farage's party as it aims to challenge the nation's two dominant political entities in the upcoming election. Delo, co-founder of crypto trading platform BitMEX, had previously been convicted of a banking secrecy violation in the U.S., but received a pardon from former President Donald Trump.
This marks Delo as Reform UK's largest donor, surpassing his £4 million contribution made in the previous quarter.
