Sam Bankman-Fried says he donated just as many millions to Republicans as Democrats, but didn’t publicize it because reporters would ‘freak the ---- out’

Sam Bankman-Fried’s donations to Democrats are well documented. In an interview released Tuesday, the former FTX CEO said he similarly funded Republican campaigns—but kept it quiet.

SBF was the second-largest Democratic donor during the last election cycle, and he told Fong he gave about the same amount to Republicans. Politicians including Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), Rep. Jesus “Chuy” Garcia (D-Ill.), and Rep. Kevin Hern (R-Okla.) have since given the money back or pledged to after FTX imploded and rocked the crypto industry.

You have to bribe both sides. Greed and amphetamines were his downfall.

Whatever. Bernie Madoff’s cell is vacant. And I hope the bankruptcy trustee overseeing the case claws back every penny from every donation he made.

“In which case his claims that he donated equally to each party are bs.”

Absolutely - read up on his parents, they are the definition of PURE EVIL.

Tired of the same old excuse, “Well, Republicans did it too!”.

I stopped playing that game a long time ago. It’s not Republicans against Democrats. It’s the People vs. the establishment politicians and they can all go to Hell. The sooner the better...

It’s very common for people who do business to donate to politicians of both parties.

FTX attorney Bromley to tell the bankruptcy judge that the
company was being “run as a personal fiefdom of Sam Bankman-Fried.”
<><>a “substantial amount” of FTX Group’s assets “have either been stolen or are missing.”
<><>unclear whether the “substantial amounts” were stolen or mishandled
<><>includes several billion in combined loans that Alameda Research reportedly made to SBF, two of his deputies, and a company majority-owned by him; or are separate from them.
<><>SBF also raised $420 million from investors on behalf of FTX —
<><>only he paid himself $300 million of that amount, claiming it as a personal reimbursement for re-purchasing the 15% stake in the exchange held by rival company Binance.

*************************************
The court has been told FTX has 36 banks and more than 200 bank accounts.....
....all that laundry........hmmmmmmm.
