The fall of crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried has been painted as a big blow to the Democratic party, whose candidates were major beneficiaries of his largesse. But in a new interview, Bankman-Fried has claimed he gave equally large amounts of money to Republicans.

Probably true, and one more shot across the bow indirectly at “ don’t elect any republican” therefore without naming him Trump.

The Republicans he donated to would be RINOs, who are worse than Democrats, because they are covertly destroying the GOP from within.

Amazing how the news blindly parrots the words of a proven fraudster without a shred of evidence to make a story that should objectively cast a bad light on democrats and the media somehow into a “republicans are the baddies”.

Here’s a list of all the PACs AND members of Congress that accepted STOLEN money from FTX Executives

Downloading the spreadsheet and summing the amounts, I get 33% to Republicans, 62% to Democrats, the remainder to supposedly bipartisan groups.

Here it comes. He will soon be recreated as “Ultra MAGA right wing white supremacist Republican stalwart, Brinkman-Fried.”

The media is already claiming his girlfriend, and partner in crime, is a darling of the “alt-right.”

The only republicans he donated to were ones who voted to impeach President Trump.

Don’t care about the donations.

I care about the Ukraine money laundering bracket to the Democrat Party…

Fact, He donated $5800 to Sen. John Boozman here in Arkansas to help pass a bill to lightly regulate Crypto through the CFTC rather than the SEC.

Who would do business with this guy? First of all he looks like a high school stoner and acts like one. His language alone would turn me off and he doesn’t seem to hide the fact he is a vulgar grifter.
