As most are well aware by now, the disgraced founder of FTX Sam Bankman-Fried was the Democrat party’s second-largest donor just behind George Soros.
As reported by The Gateway Pundit, in the 2020 presidential election, Bankman-Fried dished millions to the Biden campaign and followed it up by handing out over $40 million dollars to democrats in the 2022 primaries and midterms.
Forbes reported last year that Bankman-Fried also donated to six RINOs who voted to impeach President Trump.
Forbes reported :
Since July, Bankman-Fried has made $5,800 contributions, the maximum individuals can give directly to Congressional campaigns, to the committees of Bill Cassidy (R-La.), Susan Collins (R-Maine), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), Mitt Romney (R-Utah) and Richard Burr, the North Carolina Republican who announced plans to retire at the end of his term in 2023.
As previously reported, Bankman-Fried’s balance sheet contained an asset worth over $7 million called “TrumpLose.”
CEO of Citadel Ken Griffin, has also taken a look at the FTX’s balance sheet and pointed out Sam Bankman-Fried’s “TRUMPLOSE” investment coupled with being the second largest Democrat donor was “ugly.”

Karma.
Just one of many perhaps, votes can indeed be bought.
The Democtat Paety maybe gave lots of “donors” identical lists of RINOs on the take.

17 Nov: National Pulse: RECEIPTS: Anti-Trump ‘Republican’ Billionaires Deeply Tied to Chinese Communist Finance.
PERHAPS WE NEED TO START REFERRING TO THE “CHINA-BACKED WALL STREET JOURNAL”?
by Staff Writer
Take the Murdochs, for example. Their New York Post mocked President Trump’s campaign roll-out with the headline: “Florida Man Makes Announcement.”
Perhaps Trump should respond by highlighting a more shocking headline – this one from Crikey (LINK) in Australia, “Murdoch empire borrows US$100m from state-owned Bank of China.”
The article details how News Corp, the parent of the New York Post and Wall Street Journal, took a 9-figure loan from a Chinese Communist-owned bank...

the anti-Trump, anti-Murdoch, leftwing Crikey article mentioned in the National Pulse article:
1 Apr 2022: Crikey Australia: Murdoch empire borrows US$100m from state-owned Bank of China
Despite his media operations slamming Xi Jinping’s regime, the Murdochs accepted a megamillion-dollar loan from the government-run bank.
by GLENN DYER AND STEPHEN MAYNE
So what should the world make of News Corp’s decision to accept a US$100 million loan from the state-owned Bank of China’s New York branch as part of a massive US$1.25 billion loan package revealed on Thursday? Is it a case of Beijing seeking to influence the Murdochs by stepping up as a key family financier? And should the Murdochs have refused the money, effectively joining the global ***ESG boycott of Russia in which more than 400 global companies have pulled out or temporarily closed their Russian operations?
The Bank of China is the second biggest player in the 13-bank News Corp syndicate after Bank of America, which is contributing US$111.7 million...
It seems ***ESG lending in Australia is increasingly blackballing coalminers but hasn’t yet reached key propagandists such as News Corp...
Then there’s Ken Griffin...
Keen observers will note Trump’s first salvo against DeSantis came hours before this Politico puff piece which had been in the works for some time. It’s no stretch to connect the dots: Trump heard about the piece. Perhaps he was even asked for comment on the fact that a China-linked billionaire was now one of Ron DeSantis’s largest donors...
A report this year revealed that in 2006, Citadel “loaned $110 million to China Security & Surveillance Technology. The company used the funds to acquire ‘10 of the 50 biggest surveillance companies in China.’”...
The stage is set for Trump to rail against the billionaires putting China’s interests ahead of yours. Will he take advantage of it?

Any info on RINOS in the House who voted to impeach Trump getting any cash from FTX?

allegedly, FTX co-founder, ex-Google guy, Gary Wang, is also being “detained” in the Bahamas. am sure there’s a lot about him that is not easy to find online.
Forbes: Profile: Gary Wang
Net worth at 11/17/22 $4.2Bn
An MIT grad, Wang worked at Google, building systems to aggregate prices across millions of flights, before linking up with Bankman-Fried to launch trading firm Alameda Research and FTX.
Most of his fortune was tied up in a 16% stake in FTX and a share of its FTT tokens.

worth reading all of the following. is SBF just the facecard of FTX?
14 Nov: Crypto News (from The Block): Who is billionaire FTX co-founder Gary Wang and why is he still committing code?
Benjamin Robertson and Frank Chaparro contributed reporting for this story.
But while SBF, as he’s universally known, was appearing on podcasts and testifying before Congress, a quieter personality was beavering away behind the scenes: Gary Wang, FTX’s co-founder and chief technology officer...
A deleted page on FTX’s website described him as a software engineer who used to work at Google and graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a degree in mathematics and computer science. Uniquely among his colleagues, Wang’s profile picture didn’t show his face. His LinkedIn page has been similarly deleted and the website of FTX investor Sequoia simply lists Wang’s name with a picture of the back of his head.
For people who worked with Wang in the past, such reticence is typical. Speaking on condition of anonymity, four of them painted a picture of a quiet personality who liked to get lost in coding...
Marc Cohodes, a short seller famed for doing deep dives into the companies he targets, has been publicly warning people about FTX since May.
“Gary Wang doesn’t have any digital presence. He doesn’t have a searchable email, a phone number, and doesn’t talk to anyone that I could find,” Cohodes in a statement to The Block.
“That kind of behaviour raises more questions than answers. No one supposedly worth $11 billion hides like that.”

btw I’ve only seen Wang’s Chinese first name on one website, but I forget which site it was.
if anyone comes across it, I’d be grateful if they would post it here.

Richard Burr announced in July 2026 the 2016 campaign would be his last. He would not run for re-election in 2022. Since then he held to this declaration of retirement and did not run in 2022. Yet his campaign fund has been open for business. This article states Bankman-Fried has given Burr’s campaign fund $5800 since July 2022. Money to a man who was not running for office. Why?
Burr was one of seven GOP senators who voted to convict President Trump in the second Senate impeachment trial that occurred after Biden was sworn in. The DOJ investigation into Burr’s alleged insider stock trading was also dropped just a few weeks before Burr’s Senate vote to convict Trump.
The FEC website shows from January 1, 2017 to November 15, 2022 Burr’s campaign committee raised $726,160 including the August 2, 2022 contribution from Bankman-Fried. As of November 15, 2022 the committee’s cash on hand was $0.69.
