Relationship Among FTX, Ukraine, and Democrats Sparks Speculation

News Analysis
Is there a questionable relationship between Sam Bankman-Fried’s bankrupt FTX, Ukraine, and the Democrats? In the aftermath of the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange, new questions are being raised surrounding these connections, from crypto partnerships to the billionaire’s contributions to Democrats.
But is there something behind the curtain or was it a group of young people in over their heads?
It All Begins with ‘Aid for Ukraine’
In March, the Ukrainian government established a crypto donations website, allowing Kyiv to convert digital token contributions into fiat money that would be deposited at the National Bank of Ukraine. The Ukraine government maintained a goal of $200 million. By October, it had raised more than $60 million.
The contributed funds have been used to purchase everything needed for the war effort, such as digital rifle scopes, medical supplies, field rations, fuel, military clothing, and other critical items.
The initiative, known as “Aid for Ukraine,” garnered the support of FTX, staking outfit Everstake, and Ukraine’s Kuna exchange. It has been powered by the Ministry of Digital tras*formation.
“At the onset of the conflict in Ukraine, FTX felt the need to provide assistance in any way it could. By setting up payment rails and facilitating the conversion of crypto donations into fiat currency, we have given the Central Bank of Ukraine the ability to deliver aid and resources to the people who need it most,” Bankman-Fried said in a statement in March. “We are grateful for the opportunity to work with Sergey [Vasylchuk] and the Everstake team as they continue to work tirelessly in helping Ukrainians as they suffer from this conflict.”
Days after the launch of the Ukraine–FTX collaboration, U.S. President Joe Biden announced an extra $800 million in security assistance to Ukraine, bringing the total contribution to $2 billion since the start of the administration. In total, it’s estimated that the United States has given more than $60 billion to Kyiv.
Bankman-Fried’s Donations to Democrats
Bankman-Fried was the second-largest Democratic donor for the 2021–22 cycle, donating $39.8 million. This was behind George Soros’s total donations of $128 million. Bankman-Fried gave the most amount of money to the Protect Our Future PAC, a group that “endorsed Democratic candidates such as Peter Welch, who won his bid to become Vermont’s next senator, and Robert J. Menendez of New Jersey, who secured a House seat,” according to Fortune. But this past summer, Bankman-Fried suggested that he could’ve spent $1 billion on the midterm elections to support the Democrats, although he stepped away from this proposition.
In the first half of 2022, he contributed $865,000 to the Democratic National Committee, $66,500 to the Democratic Senate Campaign Committee, and $250,000 to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
In addition, Bankman-Fried made multiple visits to the White House. According to White House visitor logs, he met with White House counselor Steve Ricchetti on April 22 and May 12. The FTX founder also met with Charlotte Butash, a policy adviser to the White House deputy chief of staff, on May 13.
Mark Wetjen, the head of policy and regulatory strategy at FTX, who served as a commissioner on the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) under former President Barack Obama, also attended some of the meetings.
Visitor logs also show that Bankman-Fried’s younger brother, Gabe, made visits to the White House on March 7 and May 13. His first appointment was with Nathaly Maurice, special assistant to the president and director of partnerships at the White House. His second visit was with Butash.
Gabe had previously worked as a Capitol Hill staffer and is the founder and director of Guarding Against Pandemics.
Bankman-Fried has been open about his attempts to influence public policymaking, explaining that he’s championing crypto regulations, including legislation that would codify licensure for crypto assets. The bill, the Digital Commodities Consumer Protection Act of 2022, was proposed by Senate Agriculture Committee Chair Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) in August. A key aspect of the legislative pursuit is that it would allocate crypto regulatory power to the CFTC. Bankman-Fried donated $5,800 to Stabenow’s campaign in February.
“One in five Americans have used or traded digital assets—but these markets lack the tras*parency and accountability that they expect from our financial system. Too often, this puts Americans’ hard-earned money at risk,” Stabenow said in a statement. “That’s why we are closing regulatory gaps and requiring that these markets operate under straightforward rules that protect customers and keep our financial system safe.”
So everything that has tras*pired between Bankman-Fried, FTX, Ukraine, and the Democrats has raised some eyebrows. Billionaire CEO Elon Musk is also intrigued by the latest developments.
“Was FTX being used to launder money for the Democratic Party?” a Twitter user asked.
Musk replied, “A question worth asking.”
Corruption or Incompetence?
Is there truth to any of the speculation that Ukraine funneled money to President Biden through FTX or that there was anything iniquitous in the Ukraine-FTX partnership?
A cryptocurrency expert who wished to remain anonymous told The Epoch Times that there isn’t much credence to the suggestions. Although Bankman-Fried was a significant Democratic donor, the downfall of FTX was because of mismanagement, poor decision-making, and a lack of experience and corporate controls. It was an enormous financial firm that was run by 20-somethings.
The other factor was that FTX’s assets were denominated in volatile cryptocurrencies, and many of these tokens’ valuations crashed in 2022. FTX’s balance sheet, which was obtained by the Financial Times, shows that its assets were comprised of joke coins or unreliable tokens, including TRUMPLOSE, the Brazilian Digital Token, Oxygen (OXY), and FTT (FTX’s native coin).
In recent months, FTX has been acquiring troubled assets throughout the crypto and tech industries. In May, Bankman-Fried revealed a 7.6 percent stake in Robinhood, but the value had tumbled by more than 5 percent since the purchase.
It has been a year of turmoil for a wide array of crypto firms, such as Coinbase, crypto lending firm Celsius, BlockFi, and Singapore-based crypto trading platform Three Arrows Capital—which Bankman-Fried bailed out with a $750 million credit line.
“We’re willing to do a somewhat bad deal here if that’s what it takes to sort of stabilize things and protect customers,” he said in June.
There’s growing concern that Gate.io and Crypto.com could be the next two giants in the crypto ecosystem to experience financial troubles.

Some cryptocurrency traders learned that Crypto.com sent more than 320,000 ETH ($400 million) to Gate.io last month. But the former stated that it was a mistake.
“The ETH tras*fers were made over three weeks ago, on October 21st to Crypto.com’s whitelisted corporate account at Gate.io. Crypto.com proceeded to withdraw the funds back to its cold wallets over the ***owing days,” Crypto.com said in a statement. “The entirety of ETH was successfully withdrawn by Crypto.com and returned to our cold storage. The team at Gate.io assisted us by increasing our daily withdrawal limits with them. Fund movements from Crypto.com custody systems are only possible between approved and whitelisted addresses attached to our cold wallets, our hot wallets, and our corporate accounts at third-party exchanges. In this particular case the whitelisted address belonged to one of our corporate accounts in a third-party exchange instead of our cold wallet. We have since strengthened our processes and systems to better manage these internal tras*fers.”
Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek also downplayed any industrywide contagion antiestéticars, explaining in an “ask me anything” event on YouTube that “we never engage as a company in any irresponsible lending practices, we never took any third-party risks.”
FTX’s implosion has resulted in massive losses for pension plans, sovereign wealth funds, and investment firms.
The Epoch Times reached out to FTX, but the company didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Os dejo un vídeo que casi ninguno verá pese a estar en este hilo y hacer un análisis pormenorizado de TODA LA FAMILIA de Sam, su tia, plutocrata del FMI, su progenitora, lobista progre, su padre, un experto en leyes fiscales y en hacer amigos en el gobierno y el partido democrata. Su novia, una niñata drojada progre CEO de un empresa que daba millones a la compañía del hermano de Sam.... Y por el camino, Mister Wonderful (el tio de Shark Tank, muy conocido en USA) diciendo que no podría estar más seguro que dejando sus inverstiones en FTX, y que Sam iba a donar un billón de dólares para las eleccciones americanas de 2024



Muy interesante le vídeo, gracias!
Toda la familia es una asociación ilícita y que ha repartido fondos entre los políticos de los dos partidos, aunque muchísimo más a los demócratas.

Me pregunto si los "reguladores" los dejaron seguir con la estafa hasta las últimas consecuencias para poder decirle a los ciudadanos que las criptos no estatales son un timo y abrir el camino para la moneda digital de los estados.
