Questions are being asked
<><> how FTX got federal approval to buy its stake in the Farmington mini bank.
<><>it’s hard to believe regulators would have knowingly allowed the crypto firm to do so.
Is the wigged mad Maxine, FTX campaign funds taker, House banking committee chair.....in on it?
***********************************************
Here’s where it gets interesting. The bank, which had posted net income routinely with small quarterly losses over the years, started cranking out quarterly losses of $22k, $44k, then losses shot up to $558k, $576k, $1,085k, and finally a whopping $2.6MM loss in the most recent quarter. Meanwhile, there are equity injections commingled with the losses.
Pretty hefty losses.
<><>who was borrowing money that created the losses?
<><>were the losses in the bank’s securities trading account??
We demand a full accounting.

When asked whether Democrats who received campaign cash from FTX should give it back, committee chairwoman Rep. Maxine Waters said, “Well, I don’t want to get into that. As a matter of fact, both sides, Democrats and Republicans, have received donations. So thank you.”
