During a Twitter DM interview by Kelsey Piper of Vox with FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried last week, something remarkable happened.
Bankman-Fried ditched his annoyingly sanctimonious "monk-like" mask and revealed his true self: a greedy cynic who is laughing at the world, including the gullible media, for believing his phony "effective altruism" shtick as you can see in the section of the interview below.

FTX gave $1 million to McConnell-backed super PAC
"FTX gave to the establishment on both sides and it is telling who is willing to call this out and who isn't."
Joshua Young
The collapsing cryptocurrency company FTX when it was run by disgraced former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried contributed $1 million to the super-PAC aligned with Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell, the Senate Leadership Fund, in the 2022 midterm election cycle.
Bloomberg reported Friday that the Senate Leadership Fund "received the $1 million donation on Oct. 27, according to its most recent filing with the Federal Election Commission. Only a couple of weeks later, more than a 100 FTX-related companies, including the US arm, filed for bankruptcy, and Bankman-Fried resigned as head of the corporate group." ...

This is the kind of millennial, amoral, woke Liberal douchewheel we all love to hate. This guy thought because he was young and 'tech savvy', he therefore thought he was the smartest guy in the room. He was going to do away with the bad old meanie, crusty rules those old fossils clung to and 'transform the world'.
Made some of the dumbest financial blunders I've ever seen. Amateur hour, minor league mistakes. Guess the financial world was a little harder than he thought. Trillions moved and exchanged every day. Do ya think?
