There’s a lot going on out there in the news, and to some extent, that’s put the FTX scandal on the back burner. We shouldn’t let that happen. The FTX scandal is one of the most important stories of the year, exposing everything from the scam that is ESG to the deep-seated incestuous relationship between the corporate world and the Democratic Party.
And to be sure, that relationship is as grotesque as it appears. Offering proof of that, Maxine Waters chose to play patty-cake with Sam Bankman-Fried on Friday, the founder of FTX who allegedly stole billions of dollars from his clients.
.@SBF_FTX, we appreciate that you've been candid in your discussions about what happened at #FTX. Your willingness to talk to the public will help the company's customers, investors, and others. To that end, we would welcome your participation in our hearing on the 13th.

When I saw that tweet, I had to do a doubletake to make sure it wasn’t a parody account. But nope, it’s completely real. Did Maxine Waters receive money from Bankman-Fried? I’d love to know the answer to that because what else could explain this kind of kid gloves treatment? Somehow, I doubt that she fluffed Bernie Madoff in the same manner.
I guess that’s the kind of treatment being a top Democrat donor earns you, though. Bankman-Fried may be an infamous conman who admitted ESG is a fraud, but he was paying the bills for a whole bunch of leftwing politicians, and it’s obvious that they are desperate to keep the gravy train rolling. Waters choosing to pretend Bankman-Fried is an innocent victim is insane, but it makes a heck of a lot of sense when you consider who is buttering whose bread.
Meanwhile, Bankman-Fried has now responded directly to Waters.
Rep. Waters, and the House Committee on Financial Services:
Once I have finished learning and reviewing what happened, I would feel like it was my duty to appear before the committee and explain.
I'm not sure that will happen by the 13th. But when it does, I will testify. https://t.co/c0P8yKlyQt

I’m trying not to get nauseous watching these two corrupt clowns interact. Bankman-Fried, having received his pat on the head from Waters, falls right into spewing propaganda about needing to “learn what happened,” as if he wasn’t the CEO of the company and solely responsible for how the money was moved around. Bankman-Fried is the villain here, not some faceless humanoid he’s concocted as a scapegoat.
Worse, Waters knows he’s the villain yet is still choosing to not even issue a subpoena, instead offering for Bankman-Fried to testify like he’s just some random academic coming to pose as an expert. I wonder why?
Could it have something to do with this.

Further, can anyone explain why this guy hasn’t been arrested yet? He scammed thousands of people out of billions of dollars. He violated his company’s own terms of service. Yet, he’s walking free, doing interviews, and getting back massages from Democrat congressional members. If that’s not a sign of the times, and just how corrupt they are, then I don’t know what is.

Her whole family ended up with that dirty money
Yes Waters sucks.
Most Commies do. Will sell out America for a nice mansion and boytoys. And in her case, a good wig!
Gasperino explained it best on Fox the other day. He said, Wall St is a confidence game. Investors place confidence in the people managing their money. Investors in FTX didn’t make a good choice and got burned. I don’t have any sympathy for them. On the bright side, Democrats lost a big donor. Without donations, he won’t get VIP treatment for much longer.

Professional courtesy!
I thought she hated white guys?
Mad Maxine in an ignorant slut.
I’ve been watching “Billions Missing” and the interviews with the founder of FTX and Alameda with George Stephanopoulos and Sam Bankman-Fried.
I consider Stephanopoulos is complete frigging leftist all the way back to the days when he War-Roomed help to Slick Willie get elected, but he took it to that little bright boy THEIF to the cleaners. He’s trying to tell everyone now “I didn’t have enough good oversight....”
Some really hard questions and every body language reaction, movement and words come up “LIES” and evasion over interspersed with “at the end of the day I.....” The whole interview, watch it on Hulu now.
It’s gonna be fun to see his butt in ass-banging prison. He’s the equivalent of Elizabeth Holmes of the former Theranos. or that Billy McFarland of Fyre Festival fame.
He gave DEMOCRATS a buttload of money that wasn’t his and now they’ve decided it’s time to call him into account for illegal activities so Biden can divorce him and his party from the mess.
Deep-seated incestuous relationship between the corporate world and the Democratic Party.
And they call themselves the party for the working man so much for the 1920’s propaganda.
Corruption Inc. truth be known
That picture needs to be turned into hundreds of memes .
A picture IS worth a thousand words.
Maxine the screaming holier than thou crusader against big banks .
And then she’s hobnobbing with this shyster.
Can someone PLEASE make a meme of this picture showing her hypocrisy ?
I’ll buy that person a beer if they are in my area!
“It’s Monday December 5, 2022 and Sam Bankman-Fried is still free in the Bahamas.
Let that sink in.”
