He was the #2 donor behind Soros to Democratic candidates. It's not every day that the number two gets indicted for a multi-billion dollar fraud. It is good to see questions around influence arise.
- comte7092 4y agoQuestions around influence are good, but what I’m referring to is different. There were numerous posts on this forum who were adamant that nothing would happen to SBF because they were certain that he had the Democratic Party bought and paid for. It’s the certainty that I’m calling out here (“comic book level), not the skepticism.

Interestingly, if we take SBF at his word that he donated equally to Republicans in dark money, he would be the fifth largest donor to Republican candidates. https://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/3720141-here-are-the-biggest-donors-in-the-midterm-elections/ https://thehill.com/business-a-lobbying/3720141-here-are-the...
