Sam Bankman-Fried, the CEO of crypto exchange company FTX, and the second biggest donor to the Democrat party, is in hot water as his company is in financial freefall with over $1 billion missing.
According to Fortune, "30-year-old Bankman-Fried has been a major force in Democratic politics, ranking as the party’s second-biggest individual donor in the 2021–2022 election cycle."
Bankman-Fried made donations to the Dems that totaled $39.8 million, putting him just behind George Soros and his $128 million in donations.
He had even promised to spend more money on Dems in the future, saying he could go "north of $100 million" with a "soft ceiling" of $1 billion for the 2024 elections.
Bankman-Fried was a significant donor to Biden in 2020. He's the largest financial contributor to the Protect Our Future PAC, "the political action committee which endorsed Democratic candidates such as Peter Welch, who this week won his bid to become Vermont’s next senator, and Robert J. Menendez of New Jersey, who secured a House seat."
As Bloomberg reports, Bankman-Fried had his net worth go from $15.6 billion to $1 billion in "the biggest one-day collapse it had ever seen among billionaires."
It is expected that Bankman-Fried will go bankrupt in the face of a liquidity crunch and the abrupt change in financial status.
Reuters reports that FTX lost at least $1 billion of customer funds and that the money "vanished" casing federal regulators to look into the company. The investigation is to determine the extent of harm to clients and what laws FTX may have broken.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Tens of Billions of US Dollars Were Transferred to Ukraine and then Using FTX Crypto Currency the Funds Were Laundered Back to Democrats in US
By Joe Hoft
Published November 12, 2022 at 6:30pm
Did you ever wonder where all those billions of dollars were going in Ukraine? Did you ever wonder why anyone was trusting the elites in US politics like the Bidens with billions in funds going to Ukraine?
Today it turns out that these were excellent questions.
We have information that the tens of billions of dollars going to Ukraine were actually laundered back to the US to corrupt Democrats and elites using FTX cryptocurrency. Now the money is gone and FTX is bankrupt.
Earlier today we reported that the FTX cryptocurrency appeared to be used in a ponzi scheme involving the Democrats and Ukraine.

If the story is true of American taxpayer money going to Ukraine was sent to FTX and then back to the Democratic National Committee, then I want treason indictments, and I want to see convictions and folks swinging from a rope.
The utter failure of Republicans to come down on this story with a vengeance leaves one to wonder what is really going on in Washington.

Here’s why the FTX story matters:
For an entire year Democrat law makers have stood on the House floor and demanded taxpayer $$ for Ukraine.
The whole time, Ukraine was funneling those tax $$ into FTX, who in turn donated them back to Democrat lawmakers.
This is #bluewashing

It was obvious that a good chunk of money was going down the rabbit hole. We are close to sending the equivalent of 10% of our current military budget to a country not even near to that level of capability.
Now the story has come full circle right into the Dems election fund pockets.

I surprise myself sometimes. I mused about this very thing few weeks back, that Biden probably promised to help Ukraine if in exchange some of the aid money would be laundered for the democrats party campaign efforts, and Zelensky obliged.

US plans to extradite FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried from The Bahamas
According to one anonymous inside source, Bankman-Fried is being cooperative with the Bahamian officials.

With up to $2 billion of customers' money missing, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried may be extradited back to the United States from the Bahamas.
The 30-year-old is at the center of a huge cryptocurrency controversy, after it was revealed that his crypto exchange had been "funneling money to a sister trading company run by his girlfriend," according to The New York Post.
Now, American and Bahamian authorities are discussing the potential extradition of Bankman-Fried to the US for questioning, according to a Bloomberg report.
Three people who are reportedly familiar with the matter told the outlet that conversations between the two countries' authorities have intensified in recent days, as they investigate his role in FTX's collapse. According to one anonymous inside source, Bankman-Fried is being cooperative with the Bahamian officials.
Bankman-Fried, who resigned from his CEO position, apologized to customers on Twitter after losing billions in their money. His own net worth was estimated to be $16 billion before the disaster, but according to the Daily Mail, his fortune has taken a dive by 94 percent.
"My goal—my one goal—is to do right by customers," the major Democrat donor wrote. "I'm contributing what I can to doing so."

We try to not tweet too much "unrelated" stuff but if #FTXCRASH fathead @SBF_FTX was indeed working on subverting cryptocurrency decentralization and seizing a regulatory monopoly, that is much MUCH bigger and more evil thing than just scamming people to steal money. Really huge.

Interesting. @GaryGensler runs to the media while reports to my office allege he was helping SBF and FTX work on legal loopholes to obtain a regulatory monopoly. We're looking into this.

Sam Bankman-Fried ex Caroline Ellison made ‘foray’ into ‘Chinese harem’ polyamory
By Andrew Court
November 17, 2022 1:49pm Updated
Disgraced Alameda Research CEO Caroline Ellison penned graphic blog posts about polyamory and masochism before the implosion of her FTX-linked crypto hedge fund.
Ellison — who dated FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried — wrote candidly about her “‘foray into poly” on her now-deleted Tumblr account back in February 2020, according to the Daily Mail.
The post — along with a series of other sexualized entries — was unearthed by the tabloid just days after Coindesk claimed Ellison and Bankman-Fried, 30, were part of a 10-person “cabal of roommates” that managed operations for FTX and Alameda from a luxury penthouse in the Bahamas. Coindesk claimed the group “are, or used to be, in romantic relationships with each other.”
“When I first started my foray into poly, I thought of it as a radical break from my trad past,” Ellison, 28, allegedly wrote in the Tumblr entry. “But tbh I’ve come to decide the only acceptable style of poly is best characterized as something like ‘imperial Chinese harem.’ “
The Stanford grad continued, “None of this non-hierarchical bulls–t; everyone should have a ranking of their partners, people should know where they fall on the ranking, and there should be vicious power struggles for the higher ranks.” ...

How do these little children come to control that much in assets?
Back in my financial days the only way you did that was by a rich daddy or momma. And they were still more mature than these arrested 13-year olds.
