Sam Bankman-Fried has been sentenced to 25 years in prison

[lonetac]

Oops! In actuality, when pressed by an interviewer on why his donations went to Democrats, Bankman-Fried claimed he'd also donated "secretly" to Republicans -- but the public filings tell a different story. In the 2022 election cycle, Bankman-Fried gave a total of $39.8M to various campaigns and PACs, only $235K of which went to Republicans -- or 0.6%

Ooops, I already quoted Friedman stating he donated the same to GOP and Democrat. Nice try as usual though to lie your way through a topic.

I also quoted the article showing the GOP donation coming from members of his company.

Your desire for this to be one sided is completely failed attempt at changing reality. I quoted an article from Feb 2024.

"Bankman-Fried donated $10 million to a McConnell-linked group named One Nation in August 2022, according to the evidence filed by prosecutors. The money came directly from an Alameda Research account, prosecutors said."

"Salame used funds from the same affiliated Alameda Research account to donate $2.8 million to the American Action Network, a conservative nonprofit that supports House Republican policies, according to the evidence."

Time to come back to reality. They dipped into both pools but you want to hold one side accountable while ignoring the other. Shocking... but not really.

I also listed my source and not a "trust me bro".

Not at all, completely irrelevant and off topic. Its obvious you are just spinning an agenda.

If you want to stay on topic, feel free.

Look through everything I found, Brandon released more crooks than anyone else. I'm done here.

Ooops, I already quoted Friedman stating he donated the same to GOP and Democrat.

And I showed you the proof that he lied about it. Criminals facing 25+ year sentences often do lie, you realize.

I also quoted the article showing the GOP donation coming from members of his company.

You showed a donation from someone else, and attempted to conflate it with a donation by Bankman-Fried. Your point?

"Bankman-Fried donated $10 million to a McConnell-linked group named One Nation [according] to the evidence filed by prosecutors...

And those same prosecutors showed his total contributions to Democrats total over $100M. Again, your point?

$27 million to Protect Our Future PAC (DNC)
$5 million to Future Forward USA (Biden)
$6 million to House Majority PAC (Democrat)
$8.5 million to Majority Forward (Schumer)
$52,800 to Biden Victory Fund
$17 million to GAP (Democrat-aligned)

According to OpenSecrets.org:

"...
Bankman-Fried was the second biggest Democratic-leaning megadonor this election cycle, according to OpenSecrets data. Only about $235,000 of his total political giving went toward Republican candidates.

More of Bankman-Fried’s money actually made it into the political ecosystem this election cycle than money from the largest Democratic megadonor George Soros, founder of the investment firm Soros Management Fund and the philanthropic Open Society Foundations. ...."

Megadonor no more: Sam Bankman-Fried spent his way into the good graces of Washington then lost it all - OpenSecrets News

Bankman-Fried’s pledge to spend up to $1 billion during the 2024 election cycle likely won’t come to pass, as his $16 billion fortune was wiped out almost overnight.

Their blind hatred for one side and one sided attacks are a dead give away.

They are not interested in facts or discussion, just bashing one side and pushing an agenda.

Biden has pardoned 11 people, which is far fewer than any president recently:

Oops! Your article is from 2022 where as mine is from 2023 and 2024 which is updated information.

I have already proven that those who worked at the company and Sam himself donated to GOP giving large sums of money. Some democrats announced they would return the money where as nobody in the GOP said they would.

You might want to go back to google and look harder but dont worry, I wont be responding to you as you are not here arguing or discussing in good faith as you have proven.

90%+ of total donations went to Democrats; 100% of public donations went to Democrats. What's even more revealing is the reason Bankman-Fried himself stated for hiding his contributions to the GOP -- because "the media would go ape-s**t over it", as he put it. So much for fairness in media matters.

MarketWatch has compiled a list of all candidates who received funds: 17 pages of Democrats, and a tiny handful of Republicans. You can see the full list here:

Some democrats announced they would return the money where as nobody in the GOP said they would.

Another lie. Bill Cassidy and Susan Collins -- to name just two -- are GOP members who are returning donations:

Yeah, he isnt trump. Hate Brandon all you want, he doesnt have a history of pardoning criminals like his predecessor.

Trump beleives in Laws and equal application of the Law, as almost all American's do. Except that is NOT what we are getting and it is more-than-obvious to anyone, that Democrats live by their own rules and are deceitful and when exposed always crawl back under a rock.

If you want to upset a Conservative, tell them a lie...
If you want to upset a Liberal, tell them the truth...

Amazingly on-topic /s
Not sure how this thread got on a Trump vs Byden spiel…
By the way, Trump may be the most dishonest politician in the history of the US… and that’s saying quite a bit..
