SBF was not a "Biden Campaign Donor" - he donated to various Democratic candidates and PAC's. You also neglect to mention that FTX's Co-CEO (Ryan Salame) donated $23MM to GOP candidates/PAC's and was the 10th largest GOP donor in the Midterms.
As far as the DOJ goes - they are already "looking into SBF" and if you honestly don't believe he will go to jail for a very, very long time then I have some waterfront real estate in Nebraska that I'd like to sell you...
Considering the legal exposure SBF has and the (in my opinion high) likelihood of going to jail for a very long time, I was amazed that the NYT got SBF on the record at all. Every time he opens his mouth he is just giving the DOJ more rope. I'd agree that the Times was soft on him and FTX in general, considering the vast criminality of the organization, but the article is not going to change the inevitable criminal outcome here.
The "money mules" may not realize that what they are doing is illegal. If they are people looking for part-time work and have already done weeks of menial tasks before being asked to transfer funds, they probably just think that it's part of their gig.
