      Under FTX Acquisitions, they missed Democrats.

        https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-bankman-frieds-ftx-parents-bought-bahamas-property-worth-121-mln-2022-11-22/

        NEW PROVIDENCE, Bahamas, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Sam Bankman-Fried's FTX, his parents and senior executives of the failed cryptocurrency exchange bought at least 19 properties worth nearly $121 million in the Bahamas over the past two years, official property records show.

        Separately, attorneys for FTX said on Tuesday that one of the company's units spent $300 million in the Bahamas buying homes and vacation properties for its senior staff, and that FTX was run as a "personal fiefdom" of Bankman-Fried.

                Ha. The NY Post buried it in p16 of a piece about his sex life.

                I guess Murdoch inc wants to keep the SBF-Democrats narrative in play.

                  The narrative, which is still in play, is that soulless opportunists can be counted on to publicly espouse leftism. Obviously.

                    @Horace obviously not.

                    You think the guys pushing the Dems->Ukraine->FTX->Dems absurdity want to add the GOP to the lineup?

                      I am sure that theory about money flow does not hold up to scrutiny. It is prominent in your mind because it's an easy win for your tribe, while the more important and meaningful narrative remains intact. SBF sought social advantage, and he did so by publicly siding unequivocally with the Dems.

                        Ok sure the GOP talking point can become “if you want to be high status join the other party” but somehow I don’t think that’s how Fox News will play it.

                          It works perfectly well as it's already being played in pieces not devoted to the conspiracy theory you're dunking on. That the Dems are the party of soulless principle-free social climbers. I'm sure that narrative has more of a kernel of truth to it than the ever-popular narrative about the Republicans being the party of racists.

                              Let’s put it in perspective, 100k isn’t bad for an unemployed 30 year old.

                                  Hell, I'd be pushed to drum up $26 billion even now.

                                    You might have some valuable collectible memorabilia from your childhood in a developing country. Progressives use canned haggis as display pieces on their coffee tables, to signal their solidarity with the disadvantaged.

                                        I haven't followed this story all that much, other than to be amazed at the Ponzi/Madoff nature of it all.

                                        But this twitter comment was great.
