United States presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (RFK Jr) has weighed in and expressed shock at the US government’s recent decision to drop six charges against disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF).

Meanwhile, he accused the government of corruption and is questioning the rationale behind dropping charges related to such a significant sum of money.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Kennedy Jr. shared the news that Bankman-Fried has had charges dropped against him for allegedly donating $100 million in stolen customer funds to various politicians.

Meanwhile, he remarked that it isn’t surprising, asserting that it reveals a broader issue within the US government:
