After havoc within the campaign, Kanye West has appointed a new treasurer. Despite months of inactivity, the artist is back to concentrating on his 2024 presidential elections. While many thought it was a joke, the campaign was a real challenge for Ye when he first stood for elections back in 2020. Regardless of the loss with 60,000-something votes, he still remains optimistic. With occasional appearances and regular fund transfers, there has been a new development within his team.

While Ye’s campaign already saw challenges early on, a recent one shook it from within. Things went south when his 2024 campaign treasurer Patrick Krason made accusations of financial fraud. They were made against none other than his ally and fellow activist Milo Yiannopoulos. In a turn of events, it is Krason who is being replaced now.

What led Kanye West and his team to replace the Ppresidential campaign treasurer?

Regardless of the figure, presidential campaigns are never short on internal drama. As per the latest development, it was not Ye but his team members butting heads. According to RadarOnline, Treasurer Patrick Krason will be replaced by a person named Devin Anderson. Apparently, Krason wrote a resignation letter to FEC and one to Ye confessing to serious fraud taking place within the campaign.

He accused Yiannopoulos of filing falsified invoices and taking money from the campaign, amounting to thousands of dollars. As per the Federal Election Commission filings, his campaign incurred expenditures of around $104,05933. Some of these included cab charges, steak dinners, treasurer charges, and a lot of them to Nicholas Fuentes. Meanehile, the campaign raised no money whatsoever between 1st January to 31st of March, 2023. Yiannopoulos apparently drew money from both Ye and Rep. Marjorie Taylor’s campaign accounts.

While the financial fraud comes as recent news, the campaign was already plagued by the presence of controversial figures and the resulting controversies.

Ye’s 2024 campaign had challenges right from the beginning

Ye made news for the wrong reason when he was joined by white supremacist Nick Fuentes for dinner with Donald Trump. Fuentes and Yiannopoulos are known for their extremist views, which did not help Ye’s anti-Semitic controversy. In addition, Ye stopped going on active rallies, other than occasional church visits. Reports suggest that he has not even filed paperwork that is essential for running the campaign.
