SBF Grants

After the charges were filed by the justice department, the media companies that received money from the former FTX CEO, SBF, or his foundations, are freezing the cash.

The business tycoon has been charged with fraud, money laundering, presenting a fake financial picture of his organization, and using customers’ money. He is facing extradition to the U.S.

The companies reconsidering SBF grants

ProPublica, a non-profit organization, on Tuesday, announced that they will be returning the 1.6 million USD that they got from SBF’s foundation, Building A Stronger Future. This money was supposed to be used for public health, biosecurity, and coronavirus. It was part of a 3-year grant of 5 million USD. The firm stated that it would find other ways for the fund. On the day, SBF stepped down as the head of FTX and filed for bankruptcy in the U.S. Court, ProPublica suspended all its grants. However, it is still unclear where this money will go.

Vox Media was given 200,000 USD by SBF’s family foundation and the company has also decided to return all the money. The spokeswoman for Vox told that they have already spent 14,000 USD for issues like climate change, fighting global poverty, and other challenges of society, in the month of August, For Vox as well it remains unclear how they will find a new funding partner or return the spent money.

The news organization Intercept is reconsidering the grant of 500,000 USD that was given to them as a part of a 4 million USD grant. “At this time, we are still gathering the information we need to make a principled decision in accordance with our mission and values,” spokesman Rodrigo Brandao said on Tuesday. Earlier the company said that this has left a hole in their funding pocket.

The company Semafor accepted SBF’s grant in the month of May, this year with the hope that they would be able to carry independent journalism. However, they are reconsidering and waiting for the authorities to take a decision.
