Representation of the People Act 1983, s.107:

Any person who corruptly induces or procures any other person to withdraw from being a candidate at an election, in consideration of any payment or promise of payment, and any person withdrawing in pursuance of the inducement or procurement, shall be guilty of an illegal payment.

s.112: a third party who supplies the money (knowing what it is for) can also be found guilty of an illegal payment.

He committed a crime and whoever sent him committed a crime.

Oh... wait... I forgot.... The Rule of Law no longer applies in the U.S.
