You are on to something. They have done everything like shoeboxes full of cash, Obama they made micro donations from outside the USA, anonymously. We all know about book deals and speaking fees. Some payoffs are in jobs.

Best I can tell from reading that mess is they stood up a criminal organization to get deposits, used the funds to fund political gangsterism, and then collapsed the scheme and the evidence along with it.

A criminal organization must have various ways to launder money, aka pay for play, pay off people who serve them etc.

This will become more and more important as folding money goes away.

Report Says Alameda Research ‘Didn’t Trade Crypto,’ Speculators Think SBF’s Political Connections Let FTX Fly Under the Radar – Bitcoin News

Crypto proponents have questioned why U.S. regulators let FTX fly under the radar as many are looking at SBF’s political connections.
news.bitcoin.com news.bitcoin.com

The bankruptcy filing includes FTX Trading Ltd. and 134 affiliates

While the filing was registered on Nov. 11, SBF’s signature on the filing was dated Nov. 10, 2022. Out of the 134 affiliates, 11 share the Alameda name with Sam Bankman-Fried’s (SBF) quantitative cryptocurrency trading firm called Alameda Research. While Alameda claims to be a quantitative crypto trading company, it has been said that Alameda did nothing of the sort.

“Sam Bankman-Fried’s Alameda Research didn’t trade crypto so far as we can tell,” the investigative journalist and Twitter account @lordnefty wrote. “What did they do then? They ‘invested’ $8B across 448 venture-stage startups, most of which have ‘1-10’ employees and zero documentation. It only gets more crazy when you dig in to each and every one of the companies.”

FTX CEO Confirms Reports of 'Unauthorized Access to Certain Assets,' Team Is 'Coordinating With Law Enforcement' – Bitcoin News

The news was shared by FTX US's general counsel Ryne Miller and retweeted by FTX’s official Twitter account.
news.bitcoin.com news.bitcoin.com

Following the reports that said FTX wallets were being drained and the FTX Telegram channel’s admins that detailed its possible malware might be present in FTX-related apps and websites, the company’s new CEO John Ray confirmed there were “unauthorized transactions.” The news was shared by FTX US’s general counsel Ryne Miller and retweeted by FTX’s official Twitter account.
 
It sounds plausible. High players look for an easy way to launder their cash flow, and they decide it would be fine to run it through a ponzi scheme, throw their "donations" to their politicians, and then close it up with a "regrettable" bankruptcy. Due to unexpected markets, moon phases, doesn't matter. Just so it passes by without public outrage.
 
Readers' Digest Version of the FTX Origin:
"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.

A massive, massive money laundering operation has just been broken open."

BREAKING: Now-collapsed FTX crypto slush fund laundered Ukraine donation money to Democrat candidates to help rig mid-terms – NaturalNews.com

The FTX crypto slush fund run by now-disgraced Sam Bankman-Fried (and his MIT college buddies) laundered money for Ukraine into nearly $40 million worth of campaign donations for Democrats in the 2022 mid-term elections. Over the last year, Joe Biden and the Democrats have pushed through well...
www.naturalnews.com www.naturalnews.com
 
I'm just waiting to hear someone suggest that Sam Bankman-Fried was a deep patriot mole whole purposefully pulled the supports out in the basement to collapse this pile of deep state cabal money laundering excrement as a way to get back at his communist over-bearing mother and feckless father.

On the other hand, can we start a death pool of when SBF will pull an Epstein? There has to be a lot of angry cabalist wanting their literal pound of flesh.
 
My favorite movie right now is no longer a Christopher Walken film, it is now Hang em High.
 
The swamp will be reassured to know that the next generation are at least as corrupt as they are and that being tech savvy gives them advantage over the old school that are currently running the show 💣
 
Interesting.... I've been following this on Twitter. The FTX/SBF jet just landed in Argentina. No one is sure if SBF was on the plane or if it was Joe Lewis, real estate developer tycoon who has deep ties to the Soros cabal and FTX.

One user posted a picture of SBF in Mexico City waiting for a train. Convincing picture. Probably just a poor guy who looks like SBF but then again...

UPDATE: Supposedly it was Joe Lewis' aircraft not the FTX jet but then again, both seem to have been used interchangeably according to a former FTX employee.

Interesting that SBF may have fled to Argentina with its past history of hiding Nazis and the crypto currency debacle with Ukraine and its plethora of Neo Nazis. [Sarcasm] What's a nice Jewish boy like SBF doing cavorting around with Nazis? [End Sarcasm]
 

Crypto Pioneer Sam Bankman-Fried seen Operating a BIG Laundromat near Kiev..​

Stolen customer funds....Dem donor money..and now Ukraine..?​

Put these disparate stories together… What do you get?

A really big laundromat.

Bankrupt FTX Partnered With Ukraine Government To Raise $200 Million, Deleted Website Shows Donations Used For ‘Media Campaigns’ And Confidential Items.​

Exclusive reporting from Natalie Winters which links FTX to the massive new Ukrainian Laundromats…

Oops. Sam Bankman-Fried’s implosion took down Democrats’ second-biggest donor with it as the party gears up to regulate crypto​

Nuff said.

Sam Bankman-Fried is ‘under supervision’ in Bahamas, looking to flee to Dubai​

Along with his CTO and Director of Engineering…hiding in the beautiful Bahamas. Life could get worse for them if they can’t quickly get to a country without extradition.

It really makes you wonder who stole the last bit of client funds and claimed it was a hack. It probably wasn’t the North Koreans… You might want the tech guys around for that kind of heist.
