After their 2024 election wins, some in the industry have suggested that they will continue their approach to supporting candidates in the 2026 midterms and beyond. As of November, Fairshake reported having roughly $103 million to be used for the 2026 election cycle, primarily funded by Coinbase and Ripple. All 435 House members, serving two-year terms, will be up for election again at that time.

They were sentenced to two years and seven-and-a-half years, respectively, though the US Bureau of Prisons has listed Salame’s release date as 2031.

This figure factors in more than $20 billion in net outflows from Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC), which the asset manager launched in 2013, initially as a non-listed trust.

From a $6,600 individual contribution from Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen to Maryland Senator Angela Alsobrooks to more than $10 million from the Protect Progress PAC — also a Fairshake affiliate — to support Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin, crypto money arguably influenced the composition of the next US Senate just as much if not more than other special interest groups.

In its heyday, FTX was one of the most prominent cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, bringing in millions of users from dozens of countries. That changed in less than a week in November 2022 after the firm reported liquidity problems and was forced to declare bankruptcy.

Storm is free on bail before his April 2025 trial and didn’t spend his holidays locked in a prison cell. His colleague, Roman Semenov, was not in custody and was on the FBI’s most-wanted list at the time of publication.

A similar criminal case in the Netherlands is a different story. In 2022, Dutch officials arrested Alexey Pertsev, who co-founded the crypto mixer with Storm and Semenov, for money laundering.

Pertsev’s case moved forward; he was found guilty and sentenced to more than five years in prison in May 2024. As of January 2025, the Tornado Cash developer remains in custody as his lawyers prepare to appeal the conviction and sentence.
