Behind Closed Doors? Sam Bankman-Fried Arrested In Bahamas Prior To House Hearing On FTX Collapse (Will He Testify Via Zoom?)
Confounded Interest ^ | 12/12/2022 | Anthony B. Sanders

First, Sam Bankman-Fried agreed to testify in the House Financial Services Committee meeting on December 13, 2021. Then Bankman-Fried said he would testify remotely. Then ,,, he was arrested by the Bahama’s police. How convenient!

Does this mean that SBF will testify from behind closed doors?

According to Reuters, FTX’s Bankman-Fried says he will testify remotely at congressional hearing.

WASHINGTON, Dec 12 (Reuters) – Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, on Monday said he would testify remotely at Tuesday’s U.S. House Financial Services Committee hearing to examine the collapse of the company.

FTX filed for U.S. bankruptcy protection last month and Bankman-Fried resigned as chief executive, triggering a wave of public demands for greater regulation of the cryptocurrency industry.

That might be kind of difficult, since Sam Bankman-Fried has been arrested in the Bahamas.

Perhaps, The SEC Gary Genslar will testify as to why he met with SBF and gave him the green light for his trading? And why did Genslar erase Hillary Clinton from his schedule after meeting with her? And why was Genslar meeting with Hillary in the first place since she is now just an American cititzen??

This is a move to silence SBF before he can implicate his handlers.

If the US demands it, the Bahamas would release him into their custody. Better than that than have the islands on a no-fly zone to keep him.

It is only a question as to whether they will do that.

I heard on the local Bay Area news that both of SBF’s Stanford Law professor parents had cancelled their upcoming classes and would not be teaching at the school anytime soon... and they said that “it had nothing to do with FTX”... LOL.

Said it on the other thread, but ask yourself why any prosecutor in the world, especially for a ponzi scheme fraud crime, would not want the target to testify under oath.

There is no downside for the prosecution by postponing the arrest until after the testimony UNLESS some powerful people were afraid of what he would say.....

That also begs the question - what is the involvement in such a scheme if people within DOJ do not want him to testify?

There is only one answer.... once again, DOJ is carrying water for somebody and it does not look like its Lady Justice.

About time. Now they need to pick up Biden’s baggage carousel queen for a clean sweep this week. Hope he’s smart enough not to show up at the arraignment decked out in a cute little outfit that was last seen circulating an airport carousel.

You are exactly right. Any prosecutor would want him talking his head off, especially to Congress. DOJ wants him kept quiet.

speaking of Gensler -

12 Dec: Fox News: Biden official hid info about meetings with George Soros, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi from public
SEC updates calendars ‘from time to time,’ an agency spokesperson tells Fox News Digital
by Thomas Catenacci; FOX Business reporter Eleanor Terrett contributed to this report.
EXCLUSIVE: Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler scrubbed mention of a meeting with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and key details of a meeting with billionaire Democratic donor George Soros from the public version of his calendar.

Gensler’s public calendar showed that he only had a staff meeting on Aug. 7, 2021, while his private calendar lists a meeting with Clinton, according to a Fox News Digital review. And on Aug. 20, 2021, his public calendar lists a meeting with Soros but hid the meeting’s agenda, which his private calendar shows was to discuss a forthcoming Wall Street Journal op-ed the business magnate was planning to write...

In the article, Soros blasted major asset manager BlackRock for launching investment products for Chinese customers while applauding the company’s environmental policies...

“That even George Soros is calling out progressive darling BlackRock for craven blundering is striking — even if it did carry the requisite, tribal praise for BlackRock’s truly damaging ‘ESG’ (environmental, social and governance) campaigning to impose their shared ‘climate’ agenda on the U.S., an agenda also much to China’s delight,” Chris Horner, a lawyer representing Energy Policy Advocates, told Fox News Digital. “That it appears Soros received counsel from Gary Gensler on the mega-donor’s call for more SEC powers as a result is truly astonishing.”...

Are they trying to shut him up before he can talk?

I posted this response Saturday:

This will not end well.

$40 Billion laundered to key regulators and politicians, with only a few pieces of pricey real estate to show for it.

Don't expect Keepers of Odd Knowledge to ever testify in court.

And then, having demonstrated the complete vulnerability of the concept, they will proceed to impose it as the new global standard.

The DNC has discovered an innovative way to shut him up.
