According to CoinMeta, and as reported by Decrypt, records from the UK Electoral Commission show that Ben Delo, co-founder of BitMEX, donated £4 million to the UK Reform Party on two occasions in April this year, with a total donation of £8 million for the year, ranking him second among the party's donors, only behind Tether, the equity investor Christopher Harborne, who donated £15 million. These two donations accounted for 75% of the party's total quarterly donations, and both were made in cash.
