Eh, it feels like he may have donated a lot, but he wasn't crazy popular. Plus, not like he's had a long track record of donations over many years. I am not sure anyone with much influence will stick their neck out for someone like him
- TrickyRick 4y agoAnd also the money's gone (Probably). It's not like he has tonnes of money hidden away like other rich people on trial, so even if he gets bailed out by being buddies with the right people, it's not like he will make billions in campaign donations again any time soon.
- rootusrootus 4y agoI agree; politicians have a singular goal -- reelection. Supporting SBF at this point can only hurt. They will not be extending him any favors.
- cycrutchfield 4y agoWhat do you expect politicians to do with respect to prosecution by the DOJ? Genuinely curious
- LudwigNagasena 4y agoHow does political corruption work? We would need to visit a party in Washington DC to be able to describe it precisely, but it probably can be summarized as “one hand washes the other.”
- cycrutchfield 4y agoVery imaginative, but a little short on evidence.
- LudwigNagasena 4y agoYou think there is no evidence that corruption exists? Or maybe you think it’s just “a few bad apples” problem?
- cycrutchfield 4y agoI think you haven’t provided any evidence that politically connected people routinely avoid prosecution.
- SoftTalker 4y agoYep, once they realize more money won't be coming, past donations aren't worth much in the way of future favors.
