FTX Files For Bankruptcy. What will be the effect of this?

crickets.....

All the ponzi grifters are clamming up. Last crash it was Madoff taking the fall for his ponzi. Looks like Bankman-Fried is the designated scapegoat this time around, at least for cryptocrap.
 

A fun factoid that flew under the radar until recently. Bankman-Fried's mother is the founder of the Center for Voter Information. I think that's the "non-partisan" (code for Democrat) organization that sends out those "Records show you haven't voted yet, here's an absentee ballot to fill out" spam mail every election. Sam then quickly goes from nobody to a billionaire who can dump mega millions into Dem campaign accounts and has carte blanche access to Capitol Hill. I remember when CNBC did their first interview with him. I was like "Who the fuck is this dude and since when did CNBC do interviews with kids with jew fros who look like they need a shower?"

Looks like SBF's rabbit hole is starting to breach the surface.
-----------------------------------
With revelations starting to surface, a SBF/FTX specific thread would probably be entertaining.

The real reason Tom and Gisele are divorcing? A large, undisclosed amount of their fortune was tied to FTX.

I was just thinking about starting an FTX specific thread in the crypto subforum.

Gonna cross-post a couple of fun items to get this thread rolling.

Here's a list of 134 companies bankrupted by FTX:
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1591086026327326720.html

Here's a quick summary for those whose attention span is limited. But it's not the whole story....



The rest of the story:

Ukraine was receiving money from the US, Ukraine "invested" it to FTX, and FTX sent it to Democrats, who originally voted to send it to Ukraine. This is money-laundering, and a criminal conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws.

Bankman-Fried burned his own company -- and his own ass -- just to make sure the Dems won the mid-term elections, and seems to have done it by pulling the rug out from all who had funds in FTX.

Request [MENTION=1874]Brian4Liberty[/MENTION] [MENTION=28167]Occam's Banana[/MENTION] that this thread be moved back to General Politics as it is very political given Fried's heavy political activity and his mother's political ties. It appears FTX was a money laundering avenue for Democrat campaigns, including Biden's. Maybe even outright theft of investor's money to funnel it to Dem campaigns.

If you also count the “donations” to Democrats by two other principles from FTX, the total is almost $80 million dollars, THIS CYCLE.
Imagine knowing your crypto money was stolen to pay for lefties to import people from third-world countries to replace you!
Tom Brady is rumored to have lost $650,000,000.
 
Just as I was about to add a note that this topic might fit better in this column, I noticed that it was already moved here from crypto subforum. Thanks to whoever did that.
 
Bitcoin...errr....Crypto....errrr.......CBDC fixes that!

Don't worry. FedResCoin is coming, as soon as the contractor that created the original Obamacare site figures out why it keeps crashing on startup.
 
From ZH comments so it's on the record here. I have NOT personally verified if the info is accurate. But it probably is.

April 25, 2019: Biden announces his presidential campaign.

13 days later, Sam Bankman-Fried, son of Barbara Fried ( Stanford Professor and co-founder of political fundraising organization "Mind-the-Gap), launches #FTX crypto exchange.

The exchange is magically an overnight success. SBF becomes biggest donor to Biden.

Election day, FTX implodes completely.

If you think this scandal is done, it goes even deeper.

-----
Gabe Bankman-Fried, brother to Sam (also a former Jane Street trader), is founder of “Guarding Against Pandemics”

He was a Legislative Correspondent for the US House of Representatives and an advisor to large political donors in the Democrat party.

The family Aunt Linda Fried is a WEF member on the Global Agenda Council on Aging.

The father, Joseph Bankman is a Stanford professor who has lobbied on behalf of Hedge Fund managers before Congress before (film records exist).


FTX' Head of Ventures & Commercial at FTX Ventures Amy Wu, started with the Clinton Foundation years ago.

Nishad Singh FTX Director of Engineering has spent over 8 million for Dem candidates.

And finally Obama's Commodity Futures Trading Commissioner, Mark Wetjen was literally the head of FTX Policy & Regulation.


Reports were the organization wanted to spend over a billion dollars on the Democratic party for 2024.
-----
Looks like a massive money laundering operation....

--------------------------------------------------
There’s more:

Gary Gensler’s old boss at MIT was Glenn Ellison. His daughter Caroline Ellison is the CEO of FTX sister-company Alameda Research.

The GC of FTX Ryne Miller used to be lead counsel to Gensler when he was CFTC Chair.

Trevor Levine, Senior FTX Counsel's last job was with DOJ.

Interim FTX CEO is John J. Ray III, former Chairman of Enron

Sam Bankman-Fried’s mother was Hilary Clinton’s lawyer.

Seems like the usual monthly crypto rugpull.

All of those ponzis are finally collapsing under their own weight now that coin prices are trending down.
