Beleaguered FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has reportedly tapped a key member of convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team to represent him following the collapse of his cryptocurrency empire.

But of course.

Like Maxwell, he probably knows a lot about where that money went, and who were the recipients.

I'm thinking this FTX business was a Deep State operation. Bankman-Fried's value as an 'asset' has expired.

I’m sure, as with Maxwell, he’s there to insure SBF keeps his mouth shut.

It is kind of rich to call Ghislane a sex offender. So far as I know she touched no one. In fact, no one mentioned in the “trial” touched anyone.
It was a show trial so the trash who bought her murdered boss’ offerings would never have to appear.

Wasn’t she the one convicted for trafficking minors to apparently no one?

He doesn’t seem old enough to have flown on the Lolita Express, unless he was one of the toys for the boys . . .

FTX attorney Bromley tells 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 GF-run 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.

Its for the suppression of the facts to come out as to who took his money for campaigns. We already have pictures of Maxine Waters parading him all around the Capitol and into offices of several congressmen/women. Interestingly she is on the committee that is investigating him.........Conflict of interest?

She’s safe and in low security.

She could have went to a non extradition country if she wanted to.
