How long before he’s Jeffrey Epstein’d?

It’s not uncommon for the filthy rich to play both sides with their money.

"FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and members of his team rose from relative obscurity in Washington to be among the biggest donors in U.S. politics, contributing more than $70 million to election campaigns in less than 18 months.
Mr. Bankman-Fried personally gave $40 million to politicians and political-action committees ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, mostly to Democrats and liberal-leaning groups, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan group that tracks campaign donations. Ryan Salame, another top FTX executive, donated more than $23 million, mainly to Republicans and conservative groups."

Nice way to play both sides of the coin. Real good cop/bad cop act.
Let us know if you see anything that's not accurate in the article or chart.

I'm amazed the way he was talking about it publicly . Pretty naive.
Not entirely hard to believe considering campaign finance rules.

That is a small fraction of what was given to democrats. Maxine Waters was literally blowing kisses to this guy on CSPAN.
