Wikipedia has an interesting take on Sam Bankman-Fried

"Contributions for June 2021 through February 2022 went to members of both parties. They included direct donations to the Republican campaigns of senators Susan Collins of Maine, Mitt Romney of Utah, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Ben Sasse of Nebraska"

Contributions for the year 2022, through August 15, 2022, also went to members of both parties, with $105,000 donated to conservatives, and $35,872,000 donated to liberals, a ratio of 1:341 in favor of liberal candidates.

In 2022, Bankman-Fried provided initial financial support for Protect Our Future PAC. Protect Our Future was launched as a Democratic political action committee with $10 million in initial funding aiming to support "lawmakers who play the long game on policymaking in areas like pandemic preparedness and planning", according to Politico

Bankman-Fried's net worth peaked at $26 billion. 8 November 2022, his net worth was estimated to have dropped 94% in a day to $991.5 million according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. By November 11, 2022 Bloomberg estimated Bankman-Fried's net worth to be $1.

A smart man worth $26 billion would have had pallets of folding money in secure shipping containers buried on his property.

Re: "$105,000 donated to conservatives"

LOL! More like four crypto-Conservatives...?

Susan Collins, Mitt Romney, Lisa Murkowski, and Ben Sasse.

From memory, all four voted to impeach Donald Trump.
