Coinbase's top lawyer and U.S. presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. have publicly criticized the decision to drop the second trial of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, which included six charges related to millions in illegal political contributions. The Department of Justice has faced backlash for its decision, with critics arguing that it reflects a disparity in the justice system. The DOJ cited that 'the interest in avoiding delay weighs particularly heavily' in their decision, emphasizing the need to expedite orders of forfeiture and restitution for the victims. GOP Rep. Tim Burchett has called for Democrats to return the money donated by Bankman-Fried, raising concerns about the potential compromise of the federal courts.
