"every single penny"...Marjorie Taylor Greene calls for an audit of Ukraine funding

[odanny]

This propaganda has played itself out, you really need to find new material.

It was never propaganda, because it has always been true.

Fascists gotta take of their own.

 

[marvin martian]

This must be done as soon as possible for the American people. Taxpayers deserve transparency and they deserve to see where their money is going.

It's shocking but not surprising the DemoKKKrats didn't demand this of their president.

 

[Fueri]

That's a completely different matter than this hoax.

FTX is the canary in the coal mine. It collapsed because of rising interest rates, and the dipshit was caught naked when the tide went out.

He won't be the last.

Conflating what REALLY happened with this bullshit FTX/Ukraine hoax is just what your propagandists want you to do. They know you are too ignorant to parse out the facts from their manufactured bullshit.

Their collapse had nothing to do with interest rates. They leveraged a token (FTT) they themselves created, ie, scammed their way into a $32 Billion evaluation.

Their collapse went like this:


1. Coindesk reported that on a curious detail in trading firm Alameda Research’s (also owned by Bankman-fried) balance sheet.

2. They said “That balance sheet is full of FTX — specifically, the FTT token issued by the exchange that grants holders a discount on trading fees on its marketplace,” the report published on Nov. 2 stated.

This indicated that Bankman-Fried’s Alameda Research largely depended on a cryptocurrency that FTX invented, which was not an independent cryptocurrency.

3. After the report was published, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao, who had invested in FTX and been paid more than $2.1 billion in FTT, announced troubling news of his withdrawals- he starting liquidating.

4. When Zhao started pulling his funds, so did everyone else. 6 billion was taken out in the next 72 hours.

5. They suffered a liquidity crisis at that point and tried to get Binance (Zhao) to buy them, but that failed.



Bankman-fried constructed a house of cards and eventually it fell. It was a scam.

No way he'd be involved in any other sort of scam, after pulling a Grade A scam on the financial community and rubbing elbows with the world's most powerful people based on that scam. Totally impossible. yah, Ok.

Humiliating him in front of the world and destroying his military, makes us safer? Why not include the rest of your logic? You have baked in a belief that he won't ever use nukes. That's bold of you, to trust your own biases over the reality of what happens if you are wrong.

I remember the far left pinko useful idiot commie symps of the far left in the 80s were convinced Reagan's ramping up of our military and stationing intermediate range missiles in Europe was going to get us all nuked.

History never looks back kindly on appeasers. And it will not look back kindly on MTG, Tucker Carlson, and all their fellow travelers.

As I said earlier, FTX is the canary in the coal mine.

There will be more financial institutions caught naked now that the tide has gone out with the hike in interest rates.

Just another stupid, ignorant hoax.

Except for the fact that interest rates are not what caused the collapse of FTX. That was series of events that uncovered a scam.

First domino was this:

Divisions in Sam Bankman-Fried’s Crypto Empire Blur on His Trading Titan Alameda’s Balance Sheet

Alameda had $14.6 billion of assets as of June 30, according to a private document CoinDesk reviewed. Much of it is the FTT token issued by FTX, another Bankman-Fried company.

FTX and the ukraine laundromat.

Ukraine was and still is the biggest laundromat in the world.
Takes Crypto for their war effort and turns it into fiat.
War is a racket.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Just another stupid, ignorant hoax.

No, ukraine is a laundromat. It's not a hoax.

 

[Wyatt earp]

What drag queen impersonator Marjorie Taylor Gazpacho and all of Putin's other useful idiots do not realize is that we are getting a hell of a bargain for our money.

We are seeing how Russian military tactics work up against our military gear.

As it turns out, Russia's military tactics totally suck. And that is what really hurts MTG's and Putin's feelings.

Worth every penny.

DAMMIT!

She knows something you will ever know, Ukraine is a shit show of pure Nazis

Do you know why crypto collapsed across the board?

Because of interest rate hikes.

Which is funny because the big selling point of DeFi was that it would be a buffer against inflation.

People were forced to sell their crypto to meet margin calls on their other trades. That caused crypto to collapse. Bye-bye FTX.

You are putting the cart before the horse.

Never in a million years, I think Ukraine did it on purpose to invoke article 5

Yah, ok, except for the fact that this is unequivocally NOT what happened to FTX.

Why bother clinging to that nonsense when it is perfectly clear what did happen. Good grief.

There is nothing radical about this. Financial schemes have happened before, people have gotten busted before. Typical questions to ask when that happens are who was involved, who knew, who benefited. That's pretty much all that is being suggested here, as some very shady shit was going on to the tune of billions of dollars.

Why, for instance, did nobody question why he was born in the US incorporated in the Bahamas. Huge red flag. It is known that the Bahamas is a tax haven known for its confidentiality and concealing assets, but nobody asked why? Please.

This clown was trotting around with the likes of Bill Clinton, Tony Blair, congresspeople, etc., sitting on advisory panels all over the planet, and nobody thought to find out if the whole thing was legit, to the point a crypto news source had to tell the world that there was some shady shit going on.

Give me a break.

This must be done as soon as possible for the American people. Taxpayers deserve transparency and they deserve to see where their money is going.

fuck that, there should be a detailed breakdown of how the money will be spent and who is responsible for the money along the way.

looking back when done is a bit late and where both sides hide the most shit.
