ORLANDO, Fla. — Maxwell Frost, Orlando’s Democratic congressman-elect, took to social media to explain his connection to Sam Bankman-Fried, the indicted founder of cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
On his Twitter account Wednesday, Frost, 25, said he would be donating campaign contributions from Bankman-Fried to the Zebra Coalition, a non-profit that supports LGBTQ youths in Central Florida.
Records show Frost, the first member of Gen Z elected to Congress, received $5,800 directly from Bankman-Fried.
