FTX Bankman-Fried: Top Biden donor defrauds billions from investors; media praises him as a hero

nowhere special
True. But it's clear that both were freely throwing money around to gain influence in an attempt to reduce oversight of crypto.
But only one was doing it illegally. Salame blew the whistle on the dirty business at FTX a couple of days before it collapsed.

He used stolen funds to make all these donations.
Want to bet he didn't list that on his tax returns.
Oh boy, the IRS is going to sue his ass.

Only Republicans getting any money from Bankman-Fried were a few RINOs and it was just a fraction of the money that went to Democrats.

That chart includes money from people other than Bankman-Fried. He is the only one charged with fraud. And also shows how almost all of his money went to Democrats.
and instead of returning the tainted funds , most donated it.
But to where or whom was it donated ?

Your chart from post #54 shows that the National Republican Congressional Committee was the 4th largest recipient of funds.

Donations to charity do not eliminate any potential claims of fraud, however.
The bankruptcy trustee could still ask that donations made by FTX donors be returned if courts determine Bankman-Fried and other FTX executives committed fraud.

Fortune reports that a class action lawsuit brought against several YouTubers is raising concerns about the morality of the actions take by influencers in promoting their sponsors’ goods and services.

A lawsuit filed on March 15 claims that a number of influencers were paid to promote FTX, a cryptocurrency platform that failed in November 2022, leaving customers with losses that some have estimated to be worth up to $8 billion. The plaintiffs, from the U.S., Canada, the UK, and Australia, are seeking more than $1 billion in damages from the YouTubers and an influencer agency, alleging that the “defendants did not disclose the nature and scope of their sponsorships and/or endorsement deals, payments and compensation, nor conduct adequate (if any) due diligence.”

Could you guys do me a favor. When you have a real coup, could you include this :censored2: in the group you hang/shoot first?

The campaign finance charge was dropped because it wasn't included in the warrant when it was served on Bankman Fried at his home in the Bahamas . Out of deference to the government of the Bahamas the charge was dropped. The remaining charges are far more serious than the one that was dropped.

Massive Democrat donor gets campaign finance fraud charges dropped.

How convenient.
