On this note I am curious if political organisations will be required to give back the donations he made. It seems the right thing if they were stolen funds. But being politicians I'm curious if it will be rules for thee and not for me.
On the All In podcast Chamath used a term 'Fraudulent Conveyance'. The idea is that if someone receives money from a fraudulent actor, the entity that received the money has to give it back. Madoff was mentioned somewhere in the comments and the story is that people that got funds out of the Madoff situation before it fell apart had to give the money back.
We will see how it goes this time, but I suspect a lot of the donations will need to come back to the entity.
We just had an election as well, which means most of that money would have been spent. How far can they chase it down? I can’t imagine random campaign staffers needing to pay back their wages.
