Check Out The Elites Tied Up With FTX Con Artist And Mega-Democrat Donor Sam Bankman-Fried

Not that long ago, Sam Bankman-Fried was on top of the world. Sporting a net worth of approximately $15.6 billion, Bankman-Fried was the CEO of FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange platform launched in 2019 that had accumulated more than a million consumers by 2022. At 30 years old, he was extremely successful — that is, until last week when he was exposed as a con artist.

After a Nov. 2 article from the digital currency news site Coindesk revealed that FTX and Bankman-Fried’s cryptocurrency trading firm Alameda Research had notable overlaps on their balance sheets that called into question FTX’s liquidity, users proceeded to withdraw $6 billion from the company, leading to its bankruptcy. As Gizmodo reported, Bankman-Fried has “admitted to funneling billions of dollars in customer funds to his own hedge fund,” which “upend[ed] the entire cryptocurrency sector.” Since his FTX’s collapse, Bankman-Fried has lost nearly all of his accumulated wealth.

While riding high as a crypto bro, Bankman-Fried utilized his fortunes to finance both left-wing causes and Democrat candidates. During the 2022 midterms, he was the second-largest donor to Democrat candidates, spending roughly $37 million throughout the election cycle. Among the beneficiaries of his mega-dollar donations were left-wing political action committees, such as Protect Our Future, and the Democratic National Committee.

And while Bankman-Fried’s financial donations certainly deserve to be scrutinized, it’s also worth taking a glance at the numerous public figures, especially Democrats, who surrounded themselves with the former crypto tycoon over the years — as well as those who plan to do so in the near future.

Bill Clinton and Tony Blair

In addition to both being former world leaders, Bill Clinton in the U.S. and Tony Blair in the U.K., these two men have ties to FTX. Back in April, Clinton and Blair participated in a panel hosted by Bankman-Fried at an event called 2022 Crypto Bahamas. According to Fox Business, Clinton was compensated for his appearance.

Rep. Maxine Waters

In her role as head of the House Financial Services Committee, California Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters recently announced that the body will hold a hearing next month over FTX’s bankruptcy. Despite her attempts to look tough, Waters has declined to say whether candidates that received campaign donations from FTX should return such funds. Waters has also been pictured alongside Bankman-Fried in the past.
