Sam Bankman-Fried's family is facing scrutiny following revelations of a $100 million financial scandal linked to misuse of company assets for political contributions. Emails have shown that Bankman-Fried's mother and brother were involved in soliciting political donations, while his father advised Ryan Salame on withdrawals from Alameda and attended a steakhouse dinner with Mitch McConnell.
