FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried funneled max donation to Nancy Pelosi's likely successor (HAKEEM JEFFRIES)

Bankman-Fried delivered a maximum donation to Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., the current House Democratic Caucus chairman

FTX founder and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried donated the maximum amount an individual can give to a candidate to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's, D-Calif., likely successor.

Bankman-Fried made a contribution worth $5,800 to Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., in July 2021, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) data. While the amount was relatively tiny compared to the roughly $38 million the crypto entrepreneur funneled to candidates and political action committees (PAC) ahead of the midterm elections, it represented the maximum contribution an individual is allowed to donate to a single candidate under federal campaign finance laws.

According to the FEC, individual contributors are only permitted to give $2,900 per candidate per election. Individuals may combine two maximum contributions into a single donation of $5,800 since primaries and general elections count as two separate elections.

What could the quid pro quo be in that relationship?

I’d never heard of Hakeem, but he kinda looks like Caliph Baraq 2.0

Bribing the politicians probably had two major (related) components:

—Keeping the industry/company de-regulated as much as possible
—Keeping the company as a primary money laundering vehicle of the elites (including of course the politicians)

Hakeem is a melting pot—where dirty money comes to play...

Who has been advising sonny boy on the thousands of donations he’s made? His ultra woke, delusional ivory tower mother, who started and runs a PAC for Dems? His father, the academic professor of U.S. tax law? Both? Someone within the Democrat Party? The Communist Party? The Islamist political phalanx? ‘Til a question. It’s a full time job to be being to so many in such a short amount of time. What’s the plan, Dan?

A lot of folks who lost a lot of money are going to find that their money ended up in the campaign funds of Democrats. Good luck ever getting it back.

Who has been advising sonny boy on the thousands of donations he’s made? His ultra woke, Bay area delusional, ivory tower mother, who started and runs a PAC for Dems? His father, the long time professor of U.S. tax law who is documented as an integral advisor in sonny’s boy’s company? Both? Someone within the Democrat Party? The Communist Party? The Islamist political phalanx? ‘Til a question. It’s a full time job to be selecting and donating exactly the max amount to so many in such a short amount of time. What’s the plan, Dan? Whose plan is it? Who benefits? Who’s lost their shirt in this game?

Remember. You steal $2 million you go to prison.

You steal $20 Billion and they give you honorary Doctorate degrees and hold Beltway cocktail parties in your honor.

Still trying to figure out if all these donations were in cryto?

Or were they converted to cash?

If cash, who ended up getting stuck with the crypto??

Now we know why the congressional rat pack want him as minority leader. Dirty, compromised, and corrupt to the core.
