Maxine Waters Criticized for Praising SBF — Lawmaker Says 'We Appreciate That You've Been Candid'
Congresswoman Maxine Waters has been heavily criticized for saying that she appreciates former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried being candid in his discussions about the collapse of his crypto exchange, FTX. “SBF has not, in fact, been candid in his discussions. He committed fraud, full stop,” one critic stressed.
Waters is leading a congressional hearing on the collapse of crypto exchange FTX, which will begin on Dec. 13. The lawmaker wrote: “We appreciate that you’ve been candid in your discussions about what happened at FTX. Your willingness to talk to the public will help the company’s customers, investors, and others. To that end, we would welcome your participation in our hearing on the 13th.”
Many people quickly pointed out to Waters that the former FTX chief executive is a fraud and should be arrested on sight. Some people have even compared Bankman-Fried and the FTX implosion to“If you don’t arrest him I will have lost all faith in our government being the tiniest bit of just,” bitcoin proponent Dan HeldLawyer Jake Chervinsky responded to the congresswoman: “Rep.
However, many people are not surprised by Waters’ tweet given her good relations with Bankman-Fried. At the conclusion of a congressional hearing last year, she even appeared to be
Please, put him and all responsible person from ftx to jail
I wonder what her pay off was?
Guess we know who took his money. America will lose faith in institution if the donation keep sam out of jail after all the damage. Shame on u old lady
Maxcine, how many $$'s did Sam Bankman-Fried contribute to your election campaign? Will you return this STOLEN money?
It just shows you how degenerate the establishment are. I wonder if her opinion would have been the same if he’d spunked her life savings up the wall.
dego 1500 usd is Posible
Ofcourse she praised him. SBF gave them money.
She sure enjoyed that donation money that mostly came from customer funds. Easily corruptable while looking like she couldn't put together a spreadsheet. It's time she gave up her chair.
If Trump can be as candid in his investigations...
Paid shills doing exactly as expected
All the meetings Gary had with SBF, plus the rate at which FTX was growing. It's like Gordon Ramsey going into a walk-in fridge where all the produce is rotten, & you have cooked meat next to raw meat,& saying; 'yep, all looks good.Keep cooking boys'keep cooking the books,that is
Regulators should ask themselves how they were unable to see the blatant scam right in front of them? Priorities: We want to chase down a Kardashian and a company, LBRY🤡 - And if regulators failed to see all the obvious red flags, then how in the hell do you expect celebs to?
Let me say it again. It sounds like she's addressing a friend who made a mistake, rather than a criminal who robbed millions of people of their money and in some cases, their life savings. Also, how about we hear from Gary Gensler as well?
How is Maxine waters STILL IN OFFICE Perhaps 🤔 she’s from California and one of the Uber corrupt politicians club. 🤫🤫🤫
i'm sure she did. her husband has made a lot of money from working with him.
SBF is the measure of how you know a Politician is corrupt or not.
Maxine = wrong
One of benefactors from $1 billion donated by SBF
Come on, money talks & BS walks. You really expect any politician to know what is honest & what isn’t? Rumour’s that SBF’s political contributions totalled as much as $1B. Not exactly pocket change-You ought to be able to expect at least a little shmooze for that kind of dosh💰
Different words before and after
Seems totally premeditated and meticulously planned imo. SBF is painting himself as naive and a victim. Every chance he/his parents/key investors cooked this multi-billion $ pump n dump. Can’t be naive to build exchanges like FTX & Alameda!
How much did this bitch get from him?
It's all so tiresome...
