HOBOKEN, NJ – The Ravi Bhalla for Congress campaign has blasted Democratic primary opponent and Representative Rob Menendez Jr. for standing by while Sam Bankman-Fried’s Super PAC, Protect Our Future, fueled his 2022 primary campaign to the tune of $250,000.

Sam Bankman-Fried was given a 25-year prison last week for defrauding hundreds of thousands of customers.

“This was a blatant attempt to influence his father Senator Bob Menendez’s actions on the Senate Banking Committee and Rob Menendez Jr. was happy to reap the benefits and say nothing,” said Rob Horowitz, spokesperson for Ravi Bhalla for Congress. “We now know that Rob Menendez Jr. likely benefited from money stolen from investors.” The US Senate Banking Committee was looking into cryptocurrencies during this time.

“It is time for Rob Menendez Jr. to declare his independence from the special interests that have fueled his political career.” said Bhalla. “I call on him today to join me in taking no corporate PAC contributions.”

The primaries are on June 4.
