It’s alright, his Chinese competitor Binance who sunk him is thinking “that went well” and now the Crypto megascam is all theirs to control.
There are other major players in the game, but you aren’t too far off.
Who? Well then!
No s tory on the t wi tt er file dump today?
You mean Democratic super donor right? Donating stolen money to the dnc?
Free Bank Man
He is just a public figure and they did everything behind the curtain, now they sacrificed him and took billions for themselves! Who are they? That is a secret
Hope he gets life
Hope they claw back 15 million from Mr Wonderful 👍
Media and politicians were trying to get him off this whole time.
Ya
Get him off of what? What crime has he committed?
Lol😂
His attorneys declined the meeting with congress? Sam had an interview today and he stated he was preparing for it. Are you sure about this?
Lol
@Sabine S. At 1:21, the commentator says “Bankman was expected to testify before congress … before his ATTORNEY DECLINED”. This hasn’t been mentioned anywhere else and Bankman stated in an interview hours before his arrest that he was preparing for the hearing. If true, it makes totally sense why the US government had him arrested as he was not stepping foot on US territory. I think its important to ascertain why the US government had him arrested before the hearing. If his attorneys declined it at the last moment then it all fits.
@Benedicto X There are 2 separate hearings!!! One has nothing to do with the other. But now he can’t attend either, presumably, but not necessary anymore.
They waited a month which allowed him to and his people to cover it up. In the Real world people get arrested within the first 30 minutes
No, they have to have hard evidence before they arrest someone. They had to interview hundreds of people, review 1000’s of documents, etc. This was a huge collapse & a lot of moving parts.
SDNY is very aggressive, so this did not take long by general standards.
NBC conveniently left out the fact that this man was the second largest donor of funds to the Democratic Party. That’s a huge story, but crickets is what we get from the MSM!
Never give your custodianship of your $$$… Not your keys, not your coins. Centralized exchanges, bad. True decentralized finance, DeFi, yes. Get a hardware wallet. Hold your own crypto.
little punk tried to run
He was just in tv last week and he’s a ….. one of those lol😂😂😂😂 ya trust ya money with
Rip
And he starts talking about the Democrats he owned and winds up a ” suicide “
Lol, so much for that
Lol he went to the wedding area of the world
He’s not gonna be in jail long. He donated too much to the corrupted democrats. Lol
Coffeezilla is great.
Also I thought that the Bahamas did not have an extradition treaty.
He’s about to squeal on democrats. Cant wait to see you guys cover it… 🤣🤣

You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes
Poor little rich Fried potato. He’ll make some mighty fine french fries in jail.
Former billionaire so he lost are he money
He wasn’t arrested fast enough.
Good lock.him up for.next 10 years and go after his little buddies too
Sam Bankman-Fried… What an ironic last name. He’s “fried” alright.
A cyber wiz-crook. He wizzed on the investors, and crooked them out of their money.
Crypto currency Be Damned! It’s Phony money. 🤨
I wonder how all the people who praised this guy like some kind of God of money feel now. The Devil and his demons are waiting for all the greedy men in this world. 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀 💀
oh no..i lost 20bux
Can you say “suicided”?
Finally!
This is what White Privledge is in a nutshell; not saying that every Caucasian would be treated this way. But, there’s definitely a distinct difference how someone who is Caucasian can receive all the courtesies and freedom after committing crimes; whereas a person of color is locked up immediately, no bail,.vilified in the news an all but proclaimed guilty before they even reach court. The Central Park 5 are the perfect example.
Don’t Forget Mr. Wonderful, Scaramucci, oh…of course the celebrity line ups as well!
Why did SEC head Gary Gensler of Goldman Sachs gave FTX a free hand while randomly attacking valid crypto projects. SBF and friends were puppets. Focus on Gary and his friends
Why can they get an arrest warrant for this guy so fast and not one for Trump
jewish

Yep, we are already too late for those coins but luckily we have some options left like Marshmello Finance MARSH3
Marshmello Finance MARSH3 prevents Bear market, bot trades, paper hands by its automatic algorithms, so it’s the safest altcoin ever. I am sure it will hit 10 bucks in no time.

The channel ‘History Extra Credit’ has an excellent series on The South Sea Crisis for a similiar collapse.
Now, if they could direct their attention to Trump as quickly.
How much will the noses twist things to ge thim out?
Sam bankman was the second largest donator to the Democrats. Media is covering up the connection between FTX and the Democrats
It’s about time now give us our investments back with interest and face life in prison
serve your time!
Bahamas leader: “uhhh we really don’t want to screw up the whole tax haven thing so were giving th US sbf on a silver platter”
Revelation 13:9-18 NKJV
If anyone has an ear, let him hear. He who leads into captivity shall go into captivity; he who kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.
Maranatha. Romans 10:9-10.
Such a bright young man I hope he won’t get any jail time of it just tell him the next time when he does it again just do it a bit smarter. . Please.
$32 billions. That’s a lot of money he made in a very short period of times. Smart man. How much you made so far in your whole life time? For many, who has never hold a job. And for many, who works a few weeks out of a year and the rest of the time smoking, and drinking.
Next up is head PUMPer and sellout Kevin O Leary who is just as complicit
I knew this at the start these crypto money investments were a rip off scam and all should have known 🤥
Crypto = fake money = scam.
The owner of Alameda Research was seen getting coffee, 2 streets away from an FBI field office. Some speculated she was already giving grand jury testimony against him. They say this because she has not been arrested.
You mean the former head of Alameda. She did not own the company, she just ran it.
@Jerry ran it to the ground and some.
She lawyered up and he continued to run his mouth. Do the math
Your money is safe under your pillows not with any investment firm…….😆
The day before he was to testify.. “tHaTs jUsT a cOiNcIdEnCe!” 🤦🏼♂️🧐
Can you make a video explaining how beginners can make huge profit within a short period of time? I mean I was at a seminar and the host spoke about making well over $880,000 within 4months of investing $150,000 I just need to know how.
For those curious on how to get hold, you can make a quick internet search with her full name mentioned. Her details are online
CAROL ANN MCELROY 📥
Also feasible on Tele-gram by doing a search too
@BRUNO HABRAS Yeah me too, I could remember when my friends calling me crazy when I started, but now I have to shut them all up my second withdrawal which was massive.
Really all these informations are encouraging, and I think now is the best time to plan for next year . I will reach her after work activities.
Karma
From the first, knew that crypto is a scam.
You’re a fool to believe anybody selling this fake money online.
About time this guy’s should get life in prison
I saw someone comment that they should make sure he is in an Epstein proof jail cell
please also arrest his little girlfriend who looks like a weasel
He’s very liberal. Joe Biden will free him.
Democrats just lost their 2nd largest donor for the next election cycle … hahaha
I’m grateful and privilege to
kntoow about miraveststock.
Miravest has been smart,
reliable and more faster in
payment, they are very good
And best among I’ve tried
No pity at all for greedy people blinded by $$$ signs.
Never trust nerd looking young twerps from saved by the bell
Right before the GOP could grill him on corruption, bribery, and money laundering pertaining to the DNC and yes Zelensky too.
Hopefully they nab his silly little girlfriend too
Welcome back Miguel, be careful there and stay within the scripted news reports that the lowley nbc leadership gives you. Do not attempt to report any truthful news there as it is mostly being suppressed by the leadership there. Not sure whos making the desicions there but we suspect they wont be around too much longer.
Will the famous people his firm hired to promote the company also be charged?
Former FTX’s CEO Sam Bankman-Fried have did jury said have get yet prison sentence in has next court appearance is really the attorney and law enforcement some the criminal charges.
I hope he’s catholic
Pretty sure he is a Jew.
Billions missing, bankruptcy, investors no results or returns. How can he smile under those circumstances and conditions.
The Democrat party is gonna show him how to Epstein.
The rich stays rich by spending like the poor and investing without stopping then the poor stays poor by spending like the rich yet not investiing like the rich
That’s 100% true ✅ Please how do I start trading with her?
She’s on what’s APK messenger
She’s’s active with this 👉┼𝟭𝟮𝟳𝟬𝟰𝟬𝟲𝟳𝟭𝟳𝟵👈
Tell her I referred you
Thank you for this. Will definitely reach out to her now. Thanks again
I hope he gets his hair shaved off
Sam will not live to see extradition! The Left will Epstein him fast!
This is America. He will serve sentence in multi million dollar luxury condos and resorts and his lawyer parents will keep their hundreds of millions.
Voyager Digital CEO should be next.
Iya seharusnya di kembalikan dulu uang para investor habis itu baru di naikkan sidang dan tangkap agar tidak terjadi apa-apa para CEO yang lain
How convenient!
If you want to find the criminals and figure it out, it is like any other investigation. Follow the money.
Democrats didn’t cheat. Yet found a way to get 40 million dollars from a billionaire to campaign and election. And no arrests for the Biden family. I guess there is a difference between hundreds of millions over billions.
