Honestly all the corruption in the last few years just shows how full of sh*t these politicians are.

Trump schemed his whole career and had the republicans bowing to him.

That Robinhood dude tied with Citadel and sh*t schemed and they just zoom call him with him smirking the whole call

This dude steals billions upon billions and shuts them down publicly on social media for everyone to see and they all keep their mouths shut because he donated to them.

House Financial Services Committee Chair Maxine Waters told Democrats she doesn’t plan to subpoena former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried to testify at Tuesday’s hearing about the crypto exchange’s rapid demise, according to people with direct knowledge of the conversation.

Waters informed committee members of her decision at a private meeting Tuesday with Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler on Capitol Hill, these people said, declining to be named in order to speak freely about private conversations.

Those at the meeting say Waters said she wants committee staff to try to convince Bankman-Fried to voluntarily testify, those with knowledge of the meeting said. As of late Wednesday, Bankman-Fried has yet to agree to voluntarily testify to the House committee, two of the people explained


Waters, who will lose the chair title when Republicans take control of the House on Jan. 3, could end up deferring to Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., the panel’s top Republican and likely next chair, to decide whether to subpoena Bankman-Fried in the next congressional session if the FTX founder declines to voluntarily testify under oath next week.

Bankman-Fried has been under scrutiny by federal investigators and lawmakers on Capitol Hill since his cryptocurrency exchange suddenly collapsed last month, bringing to light a host of questionable transactions. Senate Banking Committee Chair Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, announced that his committee will hold a hearing on FTX’s implosion on Dec. 14. The company’s crash arrived after FTX reportedly transferred billions of dollars in client funds to Bankman-Fried’s trading firm, Alameda Research.

Waters invited Bankman-Fried to voluntarily testify before the panel and could always change her mind and subpoena him before Tuesday. A committee spokeswoman declined to comment. The committee and Waters tweeted in response to this story that a subpoena for Bankman-Fried is “is definitely on the table. Stay tuned.”

Bankman-Fried tweeted his answer to Waters, saying he felt it was his “duty” to explain what happened, although it might not happen next week. John Jay Ray III, the new FTX CEO, is scheduled to testify at next week’s House hearing.

“Once I have finished learning and reviewing what happened, I would feel like it was my duty to appear before the committee and explain,” Bankman-Fried said. “I’m not sure that will happen by the 13th. But when it does, I will testify.”




Bankman-Fried’s fall from grace was swift and unforgiving after spending years as the crypto “darling” on Capitol Hill. He donated almost $40 million toward the 2022 congressional midterm elections, with much of it going to Democrats.

Nishad Singh, who became FTX’s lead engineer in*2019*following a stint at Bankman-Fried’s trading firm Alameda Research, has donated more than $13 million to Democratic Party causes since the start of the 2020 presidential election.

Ryan Salame, the co-CEO of FTX Digital Markets, donated another $23 million, with most of his contributions benefiting Republicans

What's funny is she was asked if she's going to give the money back and she flat out said no. It's certainly not out of the realm of possibility that the funds donated to Maxine Waters was money stolen from investors, but I guess she's fine with that.

I'm going on record in saying that unless she gives that money back, she's entirely discredited from ever speaking on ethics again.
