When Congressmen suggest a company doesn’t need to be investigated, it needs to be investigated.

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, Senate 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.

FTX was designed to be a dem/leftist money generator.
It worked well…..then it didn’t......until Right after the election.

**************************************************

A very good point......the more I thought about it the
more I concluded that even the bankruptcy move was a scam.

Fried used the typical ponzi excuse.....b/c not being able to
control his investors wanting out sounded plausible.....
but he was hiding the real reasons.

Meanwhile he stole even more......as much as he could.

I’m not into crypto currency, but ever time I see FTX in print, my immediate thought is to a Hornady bullet series with that same three letters in the description. (flex tip expanding)

Mad Maxine is a very crooked snake. But not a smart snake.

Thanks for shinning the light on the pieces of this.
