On April 12, CoinDesk reported that filings submitted to the Federal Election Commission (FEC) by Fellowship — a U.S. super PAC tied to Tether — show its initial $300,000 in spending went to Nxum Group. The firm was co-founded by Tether’s U.S. CEO, former Trump administration crypto advisor Bo Hines, his father, and a third partner; the funds were used to buy campaign ads for Georgia Republican congressional candidate Clay Fuller.
