One of the defendants is reportedly friendly with Adams, but the mayor himself is not implicated.

The indictment alleges, among other things, that the defendants recruited straw donors to make campaign contributions and falsely sign contribution cards, and later reimbursed them for the money as a way to subvert the individual contribution limit. The six also allegedly purchased multiple money orders that were later submitted under the names of other friends or relatives.
In one 2021 email, Riza wrote Montgomery about Vital Brooklyn, a future construction project, saying, “FYI ! This is the one I want , Safety , Drywall , and Security one project but we all can eat ! Please show to him before Event it will start when he’s in office.” One notable exchange occurred during a phone conversation between Montgomery and Riza. Montgomery stated that “[The candidate] said he doesn’t want to do anything if he doesn’t get 25 Gs.” The candidate in question is presumably Adams, but the indictment doesn’t elaborate on what the money pertained to; it might simply be a reference to the planned fundraiser.
