Mighty Ducks Actor Gave Adams $1 Million Days Prior to His Exit

A super-PAC backing New York Mayor Eric Adams got a hefty donation from Brock Pierce — a child-actor-turned-Bitcoin-investor — five days before the embattled politician ended his campaign.

Pierce, who had a role in the 1992 Walt Disney Co. film The Mighty Ducks, gave more than $1.1 million to a political action committee called Empower NYC on Sept. 23, according to New York State Board of Elections records. It was the biggest donation to the group, which has raised about $2.6 million to back Adams, who closed the curtain on his struggling reelection campaign Sunday.
