Keep in mind Robert ‘Beto’ O’Rourke, the failed candidate for just about the whole lot?
Final 12 months when the Sam Bankman-Fried crypto scandal broke, Beto pledged to return all of the money donated by the alleged legal. But in line with data, Beto remains to be holding $100,000 donated to him by Bankman-Fried.
It doesn’t actually make sense. Beto married into a really rich household, so it’s not like he wants the cash.

Soiled Cash: Beto Clings to $100K from Sam Bankman-Fried After Pledge To Return Tainted Crypto Money
Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke received reward final 12 months after he pledged to return an enormous marketing campaign contribution from Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced cryptocurrency kingpin charged with defrauding prospects out of billions of {dollars}. However marketing campaign finance data present the failed political candidate has not lived as much as that promise practically eight months later.
O’Rourke has saved $100,000 that Bankman-Fried donated to O’Rourke’s failed gubernatorial marketing campaign, in line with marketing campaign finance disclosures launched this week. A spokesman for O’Rourke stated in November that the marketing campaign had returned an “unsolicited” $1 million donation from Bankman-Fried simply earlier than the Nov. 8 election. O’Rourke obtained constructive media consideration for saying the refund, with one political scientist saying it “appears good” for O’Rourke to return Bankman-Fried’s donation.
The Washington Free Beacon reported in January that O’Rourke’s marketing campaign refunded simply $900,000 to Bankman-Fried and that it was inserting the extra $100,000 right into a fund for “victims of FTX’s collapse.” Marketing campaign filings launched this week don’t present any refunds or funds associated to the remaining $100,000.
Maybe Beto is simply too busy urging Biden to forestall Texas Governor Greg Abbott from securing the southern border.
There may be one one that has the facility to cease Abbott.⁰⁰Stop him from deploying razor wire & medieval drowning units designed to ensnare & mutilate. Cease each unlawful factor he’s doing on the border that finally ends up killing human beings.

It’s a very good factor this man has by no means been elected.
