FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried<\/a> (SBF) has asserted through a trusted source that his 2022 arrest<\/a> was a response by Joe Biden’s administration to donations made to the Republican Party.<\/p>\n

\n

“I became a centrist and started donating tens of millions of dollars to Republicans. Just weeks later, the SEC under <\/em>Gary Gensler<\/em><\/a> and Biden’s Justice Department attacked me. I was detained just before a vote on a cryptocurrency bill I was working on, and the night before I was to testify before Congress,” noted <\/em>SBF<\/em><\/a>.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He recalled that Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives at the time expressed doubts about the timing of the arrest.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Politicians claimed the detention seemed orchestrated to “prevent Bankman-Fried from speaking.” They also demanded Gensler provide internal communications related to the case. However, he “conveniently lost” all messages, the FTX founder emphasized.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Earlier, it was revealed<\/a> that the loss of communications from the former SEC chairman, spanning October 2022 to September 2023, resulted from an incorrect automation policy implemented by the IT department. It was during this period that the regulator began investigations into several crypto companies, including Coinbase<\/a> and Binance<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SBF Pardon Efforts<\/h2>\n

On October 14, conservative activist Laura Loomer spoke of a “massive and well-funded” campaign aimed at persuading U.S. President Donald Trump to pardon Bankman-Fried.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You\u2019re going to start seeing a lot more in the news about Sam Bankman-Fried. <\/p>\n

There is a massive and well funded lobby effort to get this criminal pardoned. He\u2019s going to pretend like he was a victim of Joe Biden and the Democrats after he funded all of the Left\u2019s campaigns.\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/ai2zmWuFu0<\/a><\/p>\n
