Troubled crypto boss Sam Bankman-Fried, who lost $15B in a week, funneled millions to Dems, far-left causes

Sam Bankman-Fried, the now-bankrupt founder of crypto exchange FTX, is a prolific donor of Democratic candidates and liberal causes, and infused at least $38 million into left-wing groups during the 2022 election cycle.

Bankman-Fried was the second-largest contributor to Democratic-affiliated political action committees (PAC) and organizations, behind only liberal financial magnate George Soros, who donated nearly $127 million during the midterm cycle, according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) data. However, the collapse of FTX this week has called into question Bankman-Fried's finances.

A full-fledged liquidity crisis forced FTX to file for bankruptcy Friday, and Bankman-Fried's wealth, which was estimated to be $15.6 billion earlier this week, has sharply plummeted, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The index currently estimates Bankman-Fried has no material wealth.

Yes, a pretty sharp plummet.

“...wouldn’t surprise me if this guy gets jail time and takes the fall for his buddies”.

Not to mention that if he was hooked in real close with the democrats, he suddenly “hangs” or “shoots” himself in order to avoid implicating higher-ups in the Democrat Party.
