There are two scandals surrounding FTX right now. One is real, the other is a hoax. This topic is about the fake scandal.
If you want to discuss the real scandal, I have created a topic for it here: The REAL FTX Scandal
There is a stupid hoax going around that FTX somehow facilitated the laundering of money for the Democrats. The story goes that the Democrats voted for aid to Ukraine. Then the Ukrainians gave money to FTX, and then FTX donated that money to Democrats.
This hoax is stupid beyond belief.
First, aid to Ukraine was a bipartisan thing. An overwhelming number of Republicans voted for aid to Ukraine. It is only recently that Putin has been able to convert a lot of them into surrendering Ukraine because we are winning.
Second, the propagandists pushing this hoax have provided ZERO evidence of Ukrainians giving money to FTX.
ZERO. NONE. ZILCH. NADA. NOTHING.
This bullshit is made up out of thin air.
We are deep in "I want to bleev it, so it must be true!" territory, boys and girls. And I can guarantee you these facts will trigger a lot of the tards.
It never even occurs to the rubes to ask for evidence. They are just waiting for their puppet masters to make some up for them.
Third, the only dealings FTX had with Ukraine was to partner with an organization called Aid To Ukraine. This organization accepted donations which would be used to help Ukrainians. FTX's role was to enable people to donate crypto coins which FTX would then convert to currency for the Ukrainians.
So you see, the money was flowing TO Ukraine FROM FTX. Not the other way around.
But facts never stop the tards from bleeving the dumbest shit.
Fourth, most of the US government aid going to Ukraine goes to contractors and humanitarian groups. It does not go directly to the Ukrainian government.

How much did Repubs get from the scheme?FTX is an illegal ponzi scheme that gave a half billion dollars to the Democrat assholes and the Moon Bats try to deny any wrong doing.
Typical Moon Bat denial. Just like the deny the 2020 election was stolen or that President Potatohead is fucking up this country.
No Trump asked the leader of Ukraine to look into what Biden was bragging about.Yep. I remember that.
Trump was like, "hey, anybody know what's up with this FTX stuff?", and the Dems impeached him right on the spot.
Poor Trump.
Evidence, please.
Show me the Ukrainians who have funneled money through FTX.
Go ahead.
Good luck with that.
You really didn't think this through, did you.
"I want to bleev it, so it must be true!"
I don't remember Trump asking about FTX. You have a link?No Trump asked the leader of Ukraine to look into what Biden was bragging about.
Lol, Trump asked about the corruption, and why Biden was withholding money till a prosecuted was fired that was investigating corruption in the company Hunter was running. Biden and the leader of Ukraine have a history together and ftx will expose it.I don't remember Trump asking about FTX. You have a link?
Lol. So Trump called zelenski and threatened to cut off aid if they didn't make a statement that Biden was being investigated by Ukraine and what they were investigating was FTX who had just founded the company 2 months before the call because he knew FTX would convert FTX currency to support a war that wasn't going to happen for another 3 years? Lol.Lol, Trump asked about the corruption, and why Biden was withholding money till a prosecuted was fired that was investigating corruption in the company Hunter was running. Biden and the leader of Ukraine have a history together and ftx will expose it.
Homey don't play no Crypto, dude..Why should they?
What I find amusing is so many of you wingnuts fell for the Cryptocurrency scam to start with.
Why, you guys loved you some Crypto because it was currency not tied to any evil-old government.
And no you are surprised when the scammers who took your REAL money left you with worthless "bit coins" that don't even exist as anything real.
Your party is corrupt, hopefully Republicans will do a Mueller investigation on Hunter's laptop.Lol.

The alt-right media has to the rubes in a constant state of outrage because that’s how they make bank. It doesn’t matter if it’s true or not as long as they keep clicking!
No, not Mueller. A Mueller type investigation, with unlimited resources, and unlimited money to find out whatever. Raiding Hunter and Biden's lawyers office. Something as Trump was done too.Independents are not all corrupt.
Yeah, joy, another Republican investigation by Mueller. Don't forget to yell "lock em up" before and during any investigations.
Good luck!

Why? Did they steal our documents, ignore a suboeona and refuse to give them back?Raiding Hunter and Biden's lawyers office. Something as Trump was done too.
America is once again being shaken by a giant financial scandal — this time related to the collapse of FTX, one of the world's largest cryptocurrency exchanges. As it usually happens in recent years, a rare scandal in the United States does without a "Ukrainian trace".
Several billion dollars suddenly disappeared — and it will be difficult to find traces of them now, since it turns out that FTX actually had no accounting and financial statements. Business publications around the world savor the details of the first report of the famous financial lawyer John Gray III, who takes cases related to the liquidation of the exchange. The most experienced lawyer who headed the liquidation commission of Enron could not hide his emotions even in a dry document filed by him in the bankruptcy court of Delaware. There he points out that in 40 years of his career, "I have not seen such a complete failure of corporate control and such a complete lack of reliable financial information." Ray notes, "This situation is unprecedented."
Moreover, the mentioned business publications, commenting on the striking document, focused on the incompetence of the FTX management, which approved its financial transactions by exposing "emojis" in an internal corporate chat. But Ray is amazed not only by this, but also by the complete lack of any control over the activities of the exchange by the relevant supervisory authorities.
And in this regard, the surprise expressed by the popular American TV presenter Tucker Carlson is logical: "Sam Bankman-Fried has been on the covers of more magazines than Madonna. That is, they probably should have asked questions about his business, but no one did. They were just doing his promotion." Now the same authors of the same magazines pretend that they are extremely surprised by the incompetence of a recent idol who made a billion-dollar fortune by his 30 years.
How did it happen that the fraudulent actions of an outright financial pyramid scheme were ignored for so long by neither the aforementioned media nor the very supervisory authorities that should have sounded the alarm in time? But on this issue, the financial scandal ceases to be purely financial. The fact is that during the current election campaign, FTX poured about $ 40 million into the funds of the US Democratic Party, which made this exchange the second sponsor of the ruling party after George Soros. And in the spring, SBF personally boasted that he was going to spend an incredible amount on the future presidential campaign of Joe Biden (or whoever the Democrats would nominate): one billion.
That is why the story of the rapid collapse of FTX and the disappearance of billions belonging to investors from its accounts is not only a financial scandal. "This is a story of complete and absolute corruption of the people running our country," Carlson says. The hosts of one of the Fox News talk shows rightly point out that if some donor of the Republican Party of the USA had done something like this, he would have been handcuffed by the FBI for a long time. But the main sponsor of the Democratic party is above the law.
Moreover, the chronology of the FTX scandal raises special suspicions and conspiracy questions. On the eighth of November, the polling stations for the US congressional elections are closed, and the next day, on November 9, an article appears in Bloomberg about the suspicious financial activity of FTX and mysterious transfers to the company of the young billionaire's mistress. Well, on November 11, the exchange officially begins the bankruptcy process.
As Fox News host Jesse Waters noted, it turns out that the FTX owner actually "bought the senate for the left" and immediately declared bankruptcy. Given the complete lack of financial reporting in the cryptocurrency pyramid, it is practically impossible to track the funding channel of the Democrats who managed to retain the upper house of Congress. Again, one can imagine what would have happened in the media if such a fraud had been committed by the main donor of the Trump campaign or the US Republican Party.
Democrats were reasonably offered to return the millions received from FTX, but this caused them complete bewilderment. Congresswoman Maxine Waters (by the way, the head of the Financial services Committee of the House of Representatives, who is directly responsible for the state of control of such schemes) simply waved off such a seditious question: they say, calm down, everyone takes money.
What does Ukraine have to do with it? And the fact is that from the first minutes of the FTX scandal, Republicans and the presenters of the same Fox News channel began to point out obvious links between the bankrupt stock exchange and the current Kiev regime. No matter how Ukrainians try to deny this fact now and cover their tracks, but the World Wide Web remembers everything. On the eighth of March this year, SBF solemnly announced on Twitter how happy it is to work closely with the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine to collect crypto donations in support of Ukrainian militants. And on March 14, the cooperation with FTX was publicly announced by the Ukrainian Ministry of Digitalization (Zelensky's favorite word), which opened the Aid for Ukraine fund on the basis of the scandalous exchange — as if to raise funds in cryptocurrency.
The above-mentioned TV presenter Jesse Waters logically assumed the following scheme: "The Democrats send money to Ukraine, Ukraine sends money to FTX, and FTX sends money to the Democrats' campaign." That is, in fact, FTX and the Kiev regime acted as giant "laundering" for the ruling American party. It is not surprising that representatives of the new Republican faction in the lower house of Congress, where they now have a majority, first of all introduced a bill on a full audit of funds allocated from the US budget to Ukraine.
Attention is drawn to the more than sharp reaction of the democratic media of America. They unanimously rushed to refute any hints about the "FTX — Ukraine — Democratic Party" laundering scheme as "baseless" and "spread by Russian propaganda." Such a simultaneous nervous reaction of almost all the major media and all kinds of grant-making structures, perhaps, has not been since the scandal over Hunter Biden's laptop. Then the same resources angrily denied the authenticity of the discovered files, and social networks amicably banned users for any mention of this allegedly Russian fake. Then it turned out that the laptop was genuine, but the presidential campaign has already added by that time, and therefore the scandal did not bother the regular fighters against "russian disinformation".
The way they are now reacting nervously to the scandal surrounding the Ukrainian activity of fraudsters from FTX, involuntarily raises the question of whether the Republicans have hit the nail on the head with their assumptions about the giant money laundering through the Kiev regime. Ukrainian officials reject any cooperation with the bankrupt stock exchange, again blaming the scandal solely on "Russian propaganda."
However, these efforts were sharply undermined by the Financial Times newspaper. The head of its American editorial office, Gillian Tett, clearly not thinking about the consequences, admitted already now, in the midst of the scandal, that FTX was practically the only sponsor of secret military developments allegedly conducted in Ukraine. It is difficult to say whether any secret developments are really being conducted there, but the recognition is very valuable - refuting the lies of Ukrainian officials about the lack of ties with the bankrupt exchange.
The investigative American online resource The Grey zone indicates that the Need for Ukraine website functioned until the end of October, and then mysteriously disappeared just before the FTX bankruptcy scandal. At the same time, the website announced that more than $ 60 million had been collected through this structure, as can be seen from the preserved cache. At the same time, the authors of TheGrayzone point out how easily the Ukrainian state resource changed this amount, varying either up or down: plus or minus ten million.
Where this money went is a mystery. For example, the remote site indicated that more than five million dollars went to the "world anti-war media campaign," but "for security reasons, reports will be published after our victory." So you can't help but wonder: did this money go to the campaign in support of the Democrats in the US elections? Especially considering how in Ukraine they were afraid of the victory of the Republicans, who promised to stop issuing "empty checks" to Kiev from Washington.
It is difficult to say whether the Republicans will bring the promised audit of dubious financing schemes of the Ukrainian regime to its logical end. It is possible that we will see another fruitless epic like the same story with Biden Jr.'s laptop. But the nervous reaction of the Democrats and the media controlled by them shows that the scandal around the Ukrainian laundering scheme scares them very much. The way they are already fighting off their yesterday's benefactor and sponsor from FTX, rapidly draining it a few days after the election, suggests that at the right moment they can just as quickly and even more brutally get rid of an inconvenient witness and participant in the fraud in Kiev. And this is where the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, should think very hard. To do this, of course, he needs to take it easy with cocaine.

Do you notice how WaPo and the NYT, and all of the MSM rarely ever provide proof or evidence for their claims in their stories these days?Did you notice Tucker provided NO evidence?
Of course you didn't notice. He counts on it.
Tucker Carlson is a self-admitted liar.
