Washington D.C., Dec. 13, 2022 —

The Securities and Exchange Commission today charged Samuel Bankman-Fried with orchestrating a scheme to defraud equity investors in FTX Trading Ltd. (FTX), the crypto trading platform of which he was the CEO and co-founder. Investigations as to other securities law violations and into other entities and persons relating to the alleged misconduct are ongoing.

The complaint further alleges that Bankman-Fried used commingled FTX customers’ funds at Alameda to make undisclosed venture investments, lavish real estate purchases, and large political donations.

And they continued applying the “Dem donor” label even after Bankman-Fried claimed that he contributed a similar amount to Republicans, but via so-called “dark money” groups that don’t have to disclose their donors

SBF is pretty trustworthy. I would take him at his word.

Both of SBF’s parents are Huge Democrat activists. Yeah. SBF ain’t telling the truth.
He’s also gotten in deep with Maxine Waters and other Democrats. Not a Republican to be found in his group.
Paul gaslighting again and trusting a gigantic fraudster. In perfect character.

I'm not trusting anyone. You never know who gives dark money...well, because it's dark.
Bankman's co-founder of FTX gave to Republicans:

Enron gave millions and millions to republicans. I'm sure they gave it all back. simple solution: If you got $ from FTX, give it to your favorite charity.

"The watchdog, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, said Bankman-Fried admitted he donated so-called dark money to Republican-aligned groups during the 2022 primary season. Those donations would not have been disclosed in FEC filings. - cnbc

Musk flew to Miami today. Maybe he's going to buy Truth Social.

Maybe he wanted to buy the naming rights to Miami's NBA Arena away from FTX?
