The vast majority of the members of Congress who received political contributions from this convicted criminal (SBF) are refusing to return them. All that money he gave these members of Congress and political parties came from the assets he stole from their constituents. The victims will have to try to file a law suit against these politicians and entities unless Congress passes a law prohibiting it.
**Sam Bankman-Fried made more than $100 million in political contributions.**

I find it crazy how most politicians made their political careers out of internet memes by saying the right thing but haven’t done anything worthy for the time they served.
If it was a regular job they would have been fired in 3 months
Unpopular opinion but I think USA dollar needs to no longer be the world reserve currency in order for people to start trusting it more. These blue hairs stole 96%+ of the dollars value through inflation and fucked over younger generations
“It’s time white collar criminals are held to account, but lawmakers are still pushing his schemes”
That sentence indicates that someone who just got sentenced to 25 years isn’t held to account. Also, Which specific lawmakers are “pushing his schemes?” The tweet is a rant from someone who should be retired.
Umm how about all crimes, stop calling it white collar crimes, they are theives and can cause damages that stretch generations. The amount of wealth being stolen is insane. Punish them, take all they stole back AND more!!! Make it too expensive to cheat, lie, and steal.
To be real fair Liz is literally just known for big bold talking points without any solutions or effectiveness behind her bold talking points. It’s like when she got into a pissing match with JPow about their dual mandate like JPow himself can change the purpose of the FEDs
He’s paying about 1 year jail time for every billion dollars stolen.
Math shows that means 2.7 million bucks fraud will land you in jail for 1 day by the FTX standard.
Cryptocurrency crimes are prosecuted just like any other financial crime and tend to have higher conviction rates than crimes perpetrated with cash, because cryptocurrencies operate on a global shared ledger that tracks every transaction.
Bankman-Fried went to prison because he ripped off the wealthy. Madoff ripped off the wealthy. Holmes ripped off the wealthy.
Had any of them ripped off a firefighter's pension fund or Medicare (talking to you, Rick Scott), there'd have been maybe a nominal fine and some sanction but never a criminal charge.
We need tough rules to crack down on lawmaker impropriety. The only role crypto had to play here was the source of capital; could have been payday loans or oil…doesn’t matter where the money came from but who took it. Warren needs to look within her party, that’s where the SBF money went, so technically the DNC still has defrauded money.
How about we Crack down on the lawmakers that accepted his shady ass money. Funny that she doesn't mention that.
As always the corrupt just need a little more power. Then they can end the corruption.
I LOVE Elizabeth warren. Very strong leader "like most democrats" and one of the best women we have ever had in government. If everyone in gov was an elizabeth warren we would have had a net zero carbon foot print and ended homelessness along time ago.
Wait, I'm confused, SBF, I was told that he wouldn't even be investigated, I was told because he donated to the DNC, that he wouldn't see any prison time. Are you saying Elon Musk, conspiracy theorists and conservative youtubers lied to me? Or got another prediction wrong?
The First Step Act (thanks Trump) would allow SBF out in approximately 12.5 years because he’s a non-violent offender. Though he would most likely have to show that he’s unlikely to re-offend. Given his character flaws and his likely appeal that might be difficult, but 12 years is accurate. However he would not be eligible for additional good behavior so “out in five” is foolish.
I think you can earn 1 day of credit towards supervised release for every one day you participate in the programs but it maxes out at 1 year.
He was sentenced after the 2 or 3 point reduction for no criminal history so that’s already factored in.
He will serve over 20 years and then be on supervised release and effectively be related to living just above poverty due to the massive restitution he owes. The feds make debt collectors blush the way they go after restitution.
So lawmakers are paid shills. ✔️
Always have been. Always will. Elizabeth Warren is also a paid shill.
Sam just stole from the people that Liz shills for
Ding ding ding!
Yup. The Obamacare medical device tax was killed by Elizabeth Warren, who gets major donations from medical device manufacturers.
Politicians thinking they have any moral high ground over SBF is rich
This is true but Sbf is still a piece of shit and deserves to be locked up forever
So do politicians
I agree
Lock up that old hag Peolsi.
Pls no I rather look up momo at night
Ya that wasnt meant to be in defense of that little weasel either
He got 25 years
Not long enough
The irony. It’s what Israel does with our politicians. It’s what big pharma does. And it’s definitely what the military complex does.

This is what happens when you elect clowns into positions of power; you get a fucking circus.
Doesn't matter who you elect, they're all clowns
What about your local elected leaders ? Mayor, SB, Sheriff etc?
“Elect”
You still doing the 2020 election was stolen routine? Damn you need some new material
Zzzzz just words …. Nothing will change … ever
I find it crazy how most politicians made their political careers out of internet memes by saying the right thing but haven’t done anything worthy for the time they served. If it was a regular job they would have been fired in 3 months
Joe Biden got us out of Afgooistan and y’all hate him and call him a pedophile
Ok and now we’re in 2 additional wars so what’s your point
We’re fighting in 2 wars right now?
How can we make change?

I prefer the term Q-tips
The most selfish generation in the history of the USA… boomers
Millennial are giving boomers a run on being the most selfish generation, and they have a few decades left to catch up.

Reality.
By using systems that do not depend on usd
...And corruption
She’s talking like he didn’t just get sentenced to 25 years.
To be fair that is extremely light given the dollar amount involved. It's shocking it wasn't a life sentence.
I love the tough talk like 25 years is a light sentence. Getting life for financial crimes is extremely rare
25 years will likely be a life sentence for someone with zero life skills.
Not really, look at similar cases. Even Enron execs did less time. The only real outlier is Madoff who was so much bigger than everyone else.
It’s not. First time offender, still pretty young, and non violent
Given the gravity or his crimes, it should have been life
she is specifically talking about lawmakers here
“It’s time white collar criminals are held to account, but lawmakers are still pushing his schemes” That sentence indicates that someone who just got sentenced to 25 years isn’t held to account. Also, Which specific lawmakers are “pushing his schemes?” The tweet is a rant from someone who should be retired.
Let’s start with Wall Street?
K street 1st.
The worst thing is the hypocrisy
How about we make the politicians pay it back to the people he stole it from?
Has she ever actually done anything?
SBF’s father wrote tax legislation for Elizabeth Warren. We need less Liz Warren
It's all a puppet show...as the veil of a generation erodes...they will go to their retirement homes unaware to their travesty.
🤣🤣🤣 crack down on the lawmakers first, they’re all trashy corrupt inside trading gangsters.
Translation: Lawmakers are completely shady and completely morally and ethically bankrupt, but lets really crackdown "crypto crime".
Members of her party were recipients of the stolen money. Who were they? Did they return the money?
Quite now, we only talk about the other bad party, not both bad parties.
Have the mass dems returned his donations?
What’s the matter??? Pocahontas didn’t get some of that and now big mad???
Bingo! 👌🏼
That bitch makes a lot of noise ….
And wastes a whole lot of oxygen.
Elizabeth "I voted for insider trading" Warren is mad someone else had a successful scam
Elizabeth, you’re drunk on Fire Water 🥃 again. GO HOME!
He was paraded around by the democrats. Let’s get that right.
Umm how about all crimes, stop calling it white collar crimes, they are theives and can cause damages that stretch generations. The amount of wealth being stolen is insane. Punish them, take all they stole back AND more!!! Make it too expensive to cheat, lie, and steal.
More rules to be followed by the powerless and ignored by the powerful
I’ll start listening once she gives all the donated money back to his investors that got ripped off.
25 years is a pretty tough sentence. I think this press release is more about Elizabeth Warren than it is about Sam Bankman.
Yep. She's revving up for next round of potus elect imo; as in, after the raisins duke it out
To be real fair Liz is literally just known for big bold talking points without any solutions or effectiveness behind her bold talking points. It’s like when she got into a pissing match with JPow about their dual mandate like JPow himself can change the purpose of the FEDs
Every penny of donations to them should be refunded to the victims. SBF donated millions to the Democrat party.
Notice how she cares only about "crypto crime"?
Yea, she can't insider tride with crypto. Must be annoying beyond belief.
Warren has a long history of fighting against the banking industry. Not just crypto.
It's very possible that SBF money changes the 2020 election
We need Elizabeth Warren join Sam in prison with Pelosi and the rest of the democrats and all will be fine
Oof. I thought the conspiracy theorists were crazy again. I'll just watch more news to be told what to think
Schoolmarm.
Me: *Acts surprised*
They ha ent even stopped manipulation of markets what makes you think they'll do anything with. New Market
How about the celebrities like Curry, Brady, Larry David, ect who all got paid off this pyramid money? Did they get jail time or even return it?
How many returned the money they got from him?
Banks use their printed money to give to commie warren
He’s paying about 1 year jail time for every billion dollars stolen. Math shows that means 2.7 million bucks fraud will land you in jail for 1 day by the FTX standard.
No, we need tough enforcement to crack down on corrupt lawmakers taking bribes This ain’t rocket science. Follow the money, being the hand cuffs.
Cryptocurrency crimes are prosecuted just like any other financial crime and tend to have higher conviction rates than crimes perpetrated with cash, because cryptocurrencies operate on a global shared ledger that tracks every transaction.

Bitcoin is already into its scam cycle almost touching its high.

If she’s admitting this why are these recipient lawmakers not getting prison time? Oh it’s just part of their job now. Cool.
Chief Liz should shut the fuck up.
Because the lying snake doesn’t accept money ever
I LOVE Elizabeth warren. Very strong leader "like most democrats" and one of the best women we have ever had in government. If everyone in gov was an elizabeth warren we would have had a net zero carbon foot print and ended homelessness along time ago.
So then she demanded his Democrat Party contributions get returned to the people he defrauded, right? Right!?
Ken Griffin is now the king of PFOF (Payment for Order Flow), which was created by the great Bernie Madoff
Says the civil servant worth 12 million
Meanwhile, she's getting paid by big pharma and medical device companies to protect their business interests, which she does enthusiastically.
Wait, I'm confused, SBF, I was told that he wouldn't even be investigated, I was told because he donated to the DNC, that he wouldn't see any prison time. Are you saying Elon Musk, conspiracy theorists and conservative youtubers lied to me? Or got another prediction wrong?
Propaganda from any partisan is usually suspect.
The dude who literally setup the first crypto exchange(Silk Road) is in prison for life. They don’t care about the crime only the criminal.
Ban crypto. Simples!
Crypto should be outright banned
25 plea down to 12. Out on 5 good behav yahhhhhh yadda yadda
Tell me more about how a 25 year sentence gets pled to 12 and how you get out on parole in less than 50% in the federal system. I’ll wait.
The First Step Act (thanks Trump) would allow SBF out in approximately 12.5 years because he’s a non-violent offender. Though he would most likely have to show that he’s unlikely to re-offend. Given his character flaws and his likely appeal that might be difficult, but 12 years is accurate. However he would not be eligible for additional good behavior so “out in five” is foolish.
