Sam Bankman-Fried to be released on $250 million bail and will be required to stay with parents ahead of FTX trial
Business InsiderAPR 2023
According to the government's account, Bankman-Fried's corruption was baked into FTX's processes from the very start of its operation. Whether he was dishonest, deluded, or both, the US government is rightfully conducting the most thorough investigation and prosecution of this fraudulent crypto billionaire.
Both Bankman-Fried and Ryan Salame donated tens of millions to establishment Republican and Democratic politicians and campaign committees. There's a reason for the silence on this issue from both sides of the aisle in Washington; the collapse of FTX exposed the dirty US campaign finance underworld, and the hushed tone from the political elite tells it all.
