Whats crazy is how embedded in the democratic party his parents are. Its hard for me to imagine they didn't have some kind of input on all this "donating". They are also top lawyers, so they would have known this was illegal.

They're so powerful they own a home on Stanford campus.


I like how every time this topic comes up someone literally whereabouts with "But he donated to Republicans!"... Yes, that's true. But show me one that wasn't on the couple of communities that directly effected crypto.

I don't know why it's so hard for people to be reasonable about this. He was the number 2 Demacrat source of money behind only George Soros. He gave almost nothing to Republicans that he needed. And FTX hedged bets towards useful Republicans.

It's OK for everyone to be honest.


By his own admission he used dark money to clandestinely donate to Republicans because of optics. I don't think you can ask us to show you the receipts and make an appeal for honesty knowing this.
