    Perhaps one source was RT, but it isn't the only source, as in AP has this on their site, others.... The real question is why did you go look for it there? Just to discount the conversation? That doesn't seem like a genuine approach.

    He was the Dems second largest donor behind George Soros and he was looting deposit accounts. The Dems he 'donated' the stolen loot to need to return it to the depositors it was stolen from.

    SAYING GOODBYE TO THE CRYPTO NERD UTOPIA: “A lot of people have lost a lot of money. People will lose businesses, homes, and families. Some might even commit suicide. Plus, I didn’t know that this would happen. In fact, I had only a vague idea of what FTX was. But I, and many others, knew that something would happen. We never trusted the utopian claims people made about crypto-currencies. As much as we envied those who bought Bitcoin for small change and sold them for fortunes, it was clear that a limited number could get rich working in markets disconnected from physical goods and services. I am no economist but I feel that value ultimately has to be attached to something we can use — or, at least, to something we want.”

    Exactly. Don't buy things you do not understand. Past examples:
    • What's an "Enron"?
    • What was a "tranche"
    • What is crypto currency?
    This hits it from a different angle but is well worth remembering: "Value ultimately has to be attached to something we can use — or, at least, to something we want.”

    Actually what I'm doing is mocking the dumb people who I'm quite sure didn't understand the risk. The fact that the bulk of them just so happen to be leftists is just par for the pseudo-intellectual course. I have a lot of experience with the anti-capitalist cryptobros, they lurk and troll investment communities regularly injecting their belief that every little alt-coin scam is their ticket to richest and the rest of us are just chasing around dinosaur money. Not only do they not understand crypto, or finance, but they don't want to understand it; they're far too amused believing they're part of 'the resistance' to understand that they are basically torching their money.

    It could be an entire chapter on a book on the permanent underclass.

    Every wonder why leftists, who desire to regulate everything under the sun, stay away from crypto and its banking entities? Because an entire generation of anti-capitalist assclowns are exchanging what little wealth they have for digital toilet paper and the leftist elite couldn't be happier because keeping people poor and dumb (the permanent underclass) is the only way they stay in office.

    Haha, oh, want to go talk about Russia Russia Russia then? Or maybe Quid Pro Quo, or Stormy Daniels, Nick Sandmann, border patrol 'whipping', 'fine people on both sides', 6-Jan?

    Or maybe you'd like to tell me why generational poverty parallels generational Democrat allegiance. How come the people with the solutions to everything haven't solved anything? Why are the largest, most densely populated, and most poverty stricken ghettos in our country hardcore diehard deep blue areas? You think the permanent underclass is a conspiracy theory? Then explain why the underclass is so damned permanent despite Democrat promises.

    SOME DEMOCRATS ARE BATHING IN DIRTY MONEY THAT BELONGS TO DEFRAUDED CRYPTO INVESTORS:

    'FTX was nothing but a Democrat Party slush fund, with Bankman-Fried relishing his role as second largest Democrat funder in the 2022 cycle (behind George Soros). It certainly bought him access to the upper echelons of the party, as White House log books and photos of him rubbing elbows with Bill Clinton demonstrate. And the grift goes on.'

    It's all about the juice.

    Democrats should 'return the dirty money to FTX’s investors.'

    'Democrats had benefited greatly from Bankman-Fried’s fraud:'

    '“Democrats, with their $40 million that they got at least this cycle to win the midterms, plus the $10 million that this guy put into Biden’s campaign in 2020, they really owe it to the victims of this scam to give it back. Bankman-Fried visited the White House several times this year.'

    10% for the Big Guy.

    'What exactly did Bankman-Fried get in return for his $50 million (and subsequent pledge to donate $1 billion in 2024)? According to Devine, he “was behind a whole lot of legislation that was being drafted that was supposedly going to regulate crypto, but keep the SEC out of it.” Oh.'

    OH!

    Did SBF Buy Puff-Piece Propaganda?
    [​IMG]
    "SBF is the Jeffrey Epstein of retail..."

    Fake News New York Times: 'the NY Times on Monday published a cowering puff-piece which mentioned exactly none of the major accusations against the well-connected Democrat mega-donor.'

    Not a peep.

    'Word count NYT's puff piece on SBF:
    "Fraud": 0
    "Enron": 0
    "Crime": 0
    "Illiquid": 0
    "Stolen": 0
    "Hidden": 0
    "Criminal": 0
    "Back door": 0
    "He's getting sleep": 1

    'Months before his firm imploded, Vox penned a slobbering review of SBF's "Effective Altruism" program, painting him as a benevolent crime-fighter in his efforts to help ensure Joe Biden won the 2020 US election.'

    'But his motivations aren’t those of an ordinary Democrat donor — Bankman-Fried told Goldstein that fighting Trump was less about promoting Democrats than ensuring “sane governance” in the US, which could have “massive, massive, ripple effects on what the future looks like.” -Vox'

    And with that in mind, look at this:

    Tongue-bath coverage in exchange.

    Clawbacks coming?

    LOL! You obviously know nothing about digital assets.

    Any of the failures so far have been the result of centralized entities. Crypto itself hasn't failed. SBF is a scumbag but he isn't alone in his debacle. He was one of the biggest Democrat donors.....that says it all.

    I looked at FTX and considered buying the token FTT because it seemed to be on its way up. Something looked funny about it so I didn't pull the trigger. Same with Solana. Too much hype. I warned folks on Twitter that Solana had problems with security and the programming language is crap. Developers claim that building on Solana is like eating glass. To me it was an overhyped pile of crap.

    Too bad Tom Brady did not have my info. It could have saved him millions.

    That is just scratching the surface of what I know.

    They better hurry before he is a victim of Clinton-cide.....this scandal goes pretty high up. SBF was chummy with the Clintons and many of the Democrat led mafia.

    True. All those people who invested through FTX contributed that money to Democrats gladly!

    FTX exchange isn't an American company, but is stationed in the Bahama's.
    And so SBF and co are not hiding in other countries.


    While there isn't such a problem that the company used to sponsor the dem's.
    The problem as far as I know, is that FTX pushed billions into the account of his girlfriend and then filed for a bankruptcy.

    The secret is to get in and get out, taking small "Nibbles"! The dummies that hang on thinking it gonna be a payoff of a lifetime are the ones that get the green weenie, every time!

    Today investments are chess, not checkers :)

    Yes, you just described how to make money from a ponzi scheme.

    But everyone who profits from it is only taking money from the losers who didn't play it smart. Nothing useful is created.

    Wonder why the left wasn't crying about this major American company that moved to the Bahamas to avoid their taxes?

    Their too busy at the moment building a new "golden shower" and new fabricated Russian collusion documents with the announcement of 45 running to be 47.

    The good news is at least they will be WAY to focused on 45 to start fabricating stories on DeSantis.
