The guy donated heavily to both parties, he was just quiet about his donations to Republicans.


Says who?


SBF, but if "dark money" isn't concrete enough for you then the other co-CEO, Ryan Salame, donated about $22M openly to Republicans, and in the senate race SBF donated $66.7k to Republicans vs $49.2k to Democrats.

Says SBF himself in the interview he gave on Tuesday.

Not that it matters to the point that I was making but I wouldn't consider SBF a reliable source of the truth.

Remember this was the guy who said "FTX is fine. Assets are fine" and "We don't invest client assets (even in treasuries)".

I don't doubt that he did donate some money to the non ruling party but to quote what he is saying as truth or try and attribute a donation by an associated party to him is disingenuous.
