BREAKING: FTX Is Coming For Former Clinton Aide

The FTX saga continues to unfold and what was initially reported seems to carry more weight with this most recent development.

When the scandal first erupted, many reports and sources corroborated the idea that SBF and FTX were at the center of a complex money laundering operation that involved the Democrat Party and Ukraine.

Sam Bankman-Fried was one of the top donors to both political parties. …

Bankman-Fried described Kives, who served as an aide to Clinton when she was a Democratic U.S. senator from New York, and who worked as a Hollywood agent for clients including actor and former Republican California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and singer Katy Perry, as “probably, the most connected person I’ve ever met,” and “a one-stop shop” for political relationships and celebrity partnerships, according to the complaint.

The Block went on:

In an internal note, Bankman-Fried said that Baum and Kives could provide “infinite connections” as well as “potential unpaid partnerships with celebrities.”

He added that they also wanted to provide FTX with contacts for the firm to “work with them on Democratic politics.”
