The FTX scandal broke in the days immediately prior to, and following the November 8, 2022 Midterm elections. Tens of billions of dollars in American Military Aid to Ukraine, which was allegedly to be used to fight Russia, was cash that Ukraine did not use to fight Russia, but instead invested into FTX cryptocurrency exchange. Ukraine received money from the United States, Ukraine "invested" the money with FTX, and FTX "donated" the money back to Democrats, who originally voted to send the money to Ukraine. The sham appears to be pure criminal money-laundering and criminal conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws.
The CEO of FTX, Sam Blankman-Fried, was the #2 donor to the Democrats in the 2020 presidential election giving $39.8 million, second only to George Soros, and said he intended to spend up to $1 billion in the 2024 presidential election.[2] Elon Musk commented that Sam Bankman-Fried was a major Democrat donor, so there would be no investigation.[3]
From a cash flow perspective, FTX's bankruptcy filing on November 12, 2022 stated that FTX had zero bitcoin assets despite having $1.4 billion in bitcoin liabilities.[4] From an overall perspective, the filing revealed that FTX had almost zero assets and from $10-$50 billion in liabilities. Among those liabilities were “investments” made by the Zelensky regime.
The far-left Washington Post reported on March 3, 2022 that the Zelensky regime was dealing in crypto.[5] Less than a week later Bankman-Fried announced that FTX will be helping the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance in collecting crypto donations.[6]
Up until its bankruptcy filing, FTX was a 'partner' with the World Economic Forum (WEF).[7] The FTX CEO's aunt, Linda Fried, is on the board of the WEF.[8] Sam Bankman-Fried's mother, Barbara Fried, is the founder and president of a left-wing Super PAC called ‘Mind the Gap’ (MTG) dedicated to helping Democratic political candidates win elections. The PAC earns millions of dollars in donations primarily from Silicon Valley executives "who are keen on quietly funneling massive political donations into the Democratic Party." The mission of MTG is to “empower private political donors to strengthen our democracy by providing them with evidence-based guidance on the electoral strategies, tactics, and programs that are likely to achieve the greatest impact in a given election”, according to Influence Watch.[9] Sam's brother, Gabriel Bankman-Fried runs an organization called Guarding Against Pandemics, which is financed by Sam Bankman-Fried.[10]
Biden regime chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Gary Gennsler approved "no action relief" for FTX, meaning a letter saying 'if you do X in this way, while technically against SEC rules, we won't come after you'.[11]
