It’s not uncommon for a bankruptcy court to initiate a clawback of payments like this.
Given the political nature of the fraud, I am not confident that will happen, but I am hopeful.

#85The funds should be easy to audit and claw back from the political recipients and distribute back to the victims, right? ...right? /S

"Most" have "pledged"...that does not give me as much comfort as it gives you.
> Some have already done so.
To who? Do those politicians perhaps have relationships with the orgs they donate to?
I wouldn't trust a politician as far as I can throw one. Especially in this case where they could have easily returned the money to the bankruptcy trustee.

In a call he had with Tiffany Fong that she recorded, he talked about how he donated equally to both of them and that he couldn't care less about the politics, but he hid the republican ones considerably better because he felt the media companies would have hung him out to dry for the republican ones.

He claims otherwise, although that's obviously not necessarily the truth. The public donations only account for $40m, and this document says they have $100m in political donations. It'll be interesting to see what the actual numbers end up being.
