SBF himself said he donated the same to Republicans but did it secretly through dark money thanks to Citizens United because he thought Reporters would like him better
in other words thanks to Citizens United we have no idea who is funding US political campaigns, and that is by design. So people looking at the open records are only seeing the tip of the iceberg
He thought right. If there’s one takeaway from this whole debacle, I hope people realize that the mainstream media is inherently dishonest and there’s no reason to trust them by default.
Coffeezilla also points out that SBF is consistently lying about almost everything, and there is no evidence to support this claim beyond "this is what he says".
I'm not saying he did or didn't, just that the source is ehhhhh.
Yeah I’d want to see some receipts before believing anything SBF says, especially if he thinks it is something that by saying may remove some heat from him or his friends.
> He said he donated about the same to both parties, with the Republican donations hidden as dark money.
And he allegedly did so that he could get credit for supporting Democrats, which is incredibly cynical and undermines his "innocent kid in over his head" story.
Who says the two parties aren't on the same team? Maybe the winning team is corrupt politicians and the facade of ideology is a marketing gimmick that sells tickets but at the end of the day, the NFL doesn't care whether you buy a the 49ers jersey or the Raiders jersey.
Imo the real teams aren't you versus me, it's us versus them.
This sounds like wishful thinking, didnt he pay millions to BOTH parties ? He did play for the winning team, even if he also gave money to some losers.
The problem is not how many republicans he paid, it's how many democrats accepted.
Unfortunately in my opinion he is not a trustworthy source at all. He lies in that same interview. His own PAC is left. His mom helped found and run another left super PAC.
Seems like the family heavily supports one side. I think he has plenty of reason to lie to help out that side.
He should have receipts for those donations or at least evidence of them happening. That would at least give some credence to his claim.
Yeah, he lies all the time and I agree the support from him and his family seem to heavily support one side over the other.
During his interview with Tiffany Fong, he said all his donations to the republican party has been dark but equivalent to what he gave to the democrats. He said they did this because journalists are deep down hardcore liberals and they get spooked when they see you donated to republicans.
