In our final Dark Money report this week, we revisit Sam Bankman-Fried's frank admissions of buying influence with U.S. politicians. Bankman-Fried was sentenced in March 2024 to 25 years for defrauding investors of $8 Billion dollars from his crypto customers. Brian will be back on Monday with a new American Democracy Minute Radio Report.

Most of the reforms on Dark Money have come from citizen ballot initiatives, one of the reasons anti-voter forces are working so hard to change the rules on initiatives. While Brian's on vacation, please take a minute to listen to last year's report, part of our series entitled "Shedding Light on Dark Money."
