Sam Bankman-Fried could spend up to $1B in 2024 to thwart Trump comeback (May 25, 2022; FTX)

The billionaire founder and CEO of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange, Sam Bankman-Fried, has revealed he intends to spend anywhere between $100 million and $1 billion to help influence the 2024 United States presidential election campaigns.

In a podcast interview on Tuesday, Bankman-Fried was asked how much money he might donate during the next presidential election cycle, answering he’d give “north of $100 million” with a “soft ceiling” of $1 billion if he were to bankroll the person running against former president Donald Trump:

“I would hate to say hard ceiling because who knows what’s going to happen between now and then.”

FTX cryptocurrency vapor exchange has demolished itself. The real question is how much did Sam Bankman-Fried abscond with? My bet is between half a billion and one billion dollars.

Sam Bankman-Fried claims he is presently in the Bahamas.

This crypto exchange debacle is the fallout from marijuana legalization. The crypto sheep let their money sit an rot in an exchange. If I were fool enough to buy into crypto, I would keep it at home in a super secure flash drive and duplicates in a bank safe deposit box.

And the only decent crypto currencies are Ethereum and bitcoin

Virtue-signaling to the Democrat DOJ that he’ll pay anything to keep himself out of prison.

This was just the kickbacks from our aid to Ukraine, being laundered back to the Democrats through FTX.

FTX was a money laundering and tax avoidance scheme.

Never know maybe the Democrats will bail them out and say they are too big to fail again. They did that with the auto industry. Then the media can call anyone that doesn’t like it bailout deniers.

This is ****ing YUGE. A global money-laundering scam where Biden sent US tax dollars to Ukraine, they were laundered by FTX, and then came back to the US to fund Democrat political campaigns Where's the MSM on this?

Asterisks mine.

SBF’s founder’s mom is a prominent Dem.

I suspect the “missing money” went to certain prominent Democrats

The mother
Barbara Fried is a Stanford Law School professor and a co-founder of Mind the Gap, a pro-Democratic super PAC, as well as the Center for Voter Information and other get-out-the-vote (GOTV) organizations

Now you know why nothing has or will happen. San Fran protected

Yes, the hard ceiling has collapsed on this fellow’s head, and he is now on the run. I would say that suicide or a long period of Federal incarceration are in his future.

Sam is going to be too busy fending of a plethora of civil and criminal lawsuits to spend much energy on anything else ... most likely he’ll have to go into hiding in some forsaken shitehole to avoid being assassinated ...

“Sam Bankman-Fried could spend up to $1B in 2024 to thwart Trump comeback (May 25, 2022; FTX)”

uh, that was May, this is now ... SBF transformed from megalomaniac superhero to global radioactive pariah last week in just four days ...
