Sam Bankman-Fried had four White House meetings THIS YEAR: Bombshell report reveals disgraced crypto mogul met with top Biden aides as recently as September

  • Democratic donor met with senior Biden advisor Steve Ricchetti on September 8
  • He had at least three other meetings with staffers, report Thursday stated
  • Bankman-Fried's brother Gabriel also had White House talks on May 13
  • Further evidence of his deep ties with Washington and the Democratic party

Disgraced cryptocurrency mogul Sam Bankman-Fried met with four Biden officials this year before the collapse of his FTX empire and his arrest in the Bahamas.

The Democratic donor, 30, awaiting trial for what prosecutors say is one of the biggest financial frauds in U.S. history held talks with senior White House advisor Steve Ricchetti on September 8, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.

He has had at least two other meetings with Ricchetti on April 22 and May 12 and another with top aide Bruce Reed.

Bankman-Fried's brother Gabriel also participated in a meeting on his own on May 13.

Who's going to be the first asshole in Gov't to say "There was no intent"? And that will stick because their is precedent.
The precedent is NOT a legal ruling, but a comment from ANOTHER asshole elitist; somehow Comey's assholery is the golden rule because he's tall, has good hair, and is an elitist.
Dry Butt Fuck to Every One of Them.
