Sam Bankman-Fried is not a good guy. He’s not even an OK guy. He’s just a straight-up bad dude. We could spend a lot of time discussing his record, but honestly, your best bet on getting yourself up to speed would probably be reading what Jim Geraghty’s written about him:

All set? OK, good. Now we can get down to business. That is, the business of rank Democratic corruption.
Check out this tweet from Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters, who also just so happens to be the chair of the U.S. House Financial Services Committee:
.@SBF_FTX, we appreciate that you've been candid in your discussions about what happened at #FTX. Your willingness to talk to the public will help the company's customers, investors, and others. To that end, we would welcome your participation in our hearing on the 13th.

That’s basically where she’s at.

Pretty sweet deal if you think about it.
What does SBF and company have on these politicians that the Head of the Financial services committee would say this at all, let alone publicly?!

Well, Democrats definitely have something on Sam Bankman-Fried. Or, should we say, from Sam Bankman-Fried:
Sam Bankman-Fried gave nearly $40 million to Congressional Democrats during the midterm elections. Apparently that was money well spent for the FTX conman. https://t.co/fnr8t9nvTG

SBF contributed more than $300,000 to members of Maxine Waters's committee (95% to Dems) https://t.co/dCvCrLilqs https://t.co/in90MsfyJS

Quite handsomely, it would appear.

Oh, you mean like this?
This might be the weirdest FTX news so far:

Be sure to put some stank on it, Maxine. Maybe throw in a little bit of tongue while you’re at it.
Maybe they can have pillow fights and talk about their crushes after!

We have no doubt they’re making plans as we speak.
We already knew it. But it’s always nice to be proven right.
