Now add disgraced crypto kingpin Sam Bankman-Fried to Democratic superlawyer Marc Elias's list of controversial clients.
Mind the Gap, a political action committee founded by Bankman-Fried's mother, has paid Elias Law Group nearly $30,000 since February 2022, according to campaign finance disclosures.
A lawsuit filed this week alleges that Bankman-Fried and his mother, Stanford Law professor Barbara Fried, conspired to make illegal campaign contributions to Mind the Gap.
It is unclear what services Elias Law Group provided Mind the Gap, which Fried launched in 2018 to support Democratic campaigns.
Elias Law Group has represented Mind the Group amid Bankman-Fried's high-profile fraud case.
Bankman-Fried gave $40 million to Democratic campaigns, including $5 million to a political action committee that supported Joe Biden in 2020.
In April 2021, Fried advised Bankman-Fried and his FTX colleague, Nishad Singh, to make a $1 million contribution in Singh's name to Mind the Gap, according to emails cited in the lawsuit.
