Political Action Committee Targets NY Candidate Bores Over FTX Ties
- Think Big PAC claims New York congressional candidate Alex Bores received over $100,000 from Sam Bankman-Fried’s network.
- Bores is one of only two state-level candidates in New York to receive support from Bankman-Fried-affiliated PACs.
- The PAC has spent hundreds of thousands on ads criticizing Bores’ campaign financing and past work at Palantir.
- Bores has introduced legislation focused on artificial intelligence safety and accountability, making him a target for the PAC.
- In the previous election cycle, Bankman-Fried was a major political donor, with support reaching over one-third of Congress members.
The attack by Think Big PAC highlights the influence of crypto funding in political races, particularly as Bores faces a competitive primary for New York’s congressional seat. This scrutiny comes amid growing concerns about campaign financing linked to controversial figures like Bankman-Fried.
With more than $100,000 in support from Bankman-Fried’s network under fire, Bores’ campaign is navigating significant political challenges as it seeks to counteract these allegations.(Source)
