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:
Every currency is maintained by a sufficiently widespread belief that the currency is currently worth something and will continue to be worth something in the foreseeable future.https://t.co/onzpaJQy8x pic.twitter.com/AMMCrUDE7d

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.
Walk into the Capitol on J6, get thrown in solitary confinement.

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

Well I guess at least one of his investments paid off https://t.co/Ly1EcexeBq

Quite handsomely, it would appear.

Blow him another kiss. JFC. https://t.co/WccvMFdQXh

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!
— Carol Roth (@caroljsroth) December 2, 2022
We have no doubt they’re making plans as we speak.
We already knew it. But it’s always nice to be proven right.
