Sam recently said on an interview that he donated just as much to the Republican party using dark money channels. I doubt that's going to save him at this point.
- dhruval 4y agoHard to take anything he says at face value. He is a lying sociopath. Are there independent records of these donations.
- arrosenberg 4y ago> Are there independent records of these donations. Wouldn't be called dark money if there were. Sure he's a lying sociopath, which is why it would make sense that he did donate to both sides.
- mikeyouse 4y agoThe whole point of dark money is that it's anonymous.. in either case one of his staunchest defenders in congress is the #3 guy in the GOP who received millions of dollars of support from FTX on the record. Rep. Emmer also tried to prevent the SEC from investigating FTX so maybe everyone can stop pretending that it's exclusively a Democrat problem? https://prospect.org/power/congressmembers-tried-to-stop-secs-inquiry-into-ftx/ https://prospect.org/power/congressmembers-tried-to-stop-sec... https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/donor_detail/2022?id=U0000004758&type=I&super_only=N&name=Salame%2C+Ryan+D.+%26+Susan https://www.opensecrets.org/outside-spending/donor_detail/20...
- watwut 4y agoHis companies donated and the people working directly with him donated, afaik. Not even dark channels. Maybe he thought dark channels sounds cool.
