“Sam Bankman-Fried orchestrated a massive campaign-finance fraud in an attempt to buy favorable treatment in Washington for his once-booming crypto empire, prosecutors will argue in a Manhattan courtroom this week.
Under the scheme, Bankman-Fried allegedly doled out more than $100 million in funds stolen from FTX customers and then illegally routed tens of millions through two of his top lieutenants. Explaining how this fraud worked will feature centrally in the government’s sweeping case against him, according to public court documents.
Prosecutors will try to make the case that Bankman-Fried aimed to use his political operation as a flywheel for his multibillion-dollar fraud, siphoning customer money to maximize his Washington influence.
He aimed to redeem his political capital, prosecutors will argue, for friendly treatment from policymakers, which in turn would allow his empire to grow — and let him keep siphoning customer money.
Bankman-Fried’s political giving vaulted him from obscurity into the top ranks of Democratic megadonors in just a few years. Only financier George Soros gave more to Democratic causes in the 2022 election cycle, federal records show.
But that giving, prosecutors are set to argue, was the instrument of a brazen fraud. Bankman-Fried’s violation of campaign finance laws on such a huge scale ‘demonstrates the strength of his desire to purchase political clout — a desire so great that he stole customer funds to satisfy it,’ they wrote in an August memo laying out the evidence they plan to present at trial.

“Homeless pirates are now marauding onto houseboats in the San Francisco Bay in the latest criminal enterprise to plague California.
Residents along the Oakland-Alameda estuary told a community meeting last week that boats have been cut loose so that they drift out to sea.
One woman even recounted how she had rescued another resident on a sailboat in the middle of the night after pirates slashed his rigging lines during an argument.
The brazen thieves - whose homeless encampments have spilled out of the city - are taking small motor-powered dinghies and using them in smash-and-grab raids on larger vessels and houseboats.
During Wednesday's San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission's enforcement meeting community members spoke of having to fight off the pirates themselves as police in the Democrat-run city have failed to intervene.
'The open shoreline of the (Oakland-Alameda) estuary is littered with sunken wrecks and derelict, end-of-life vessels, and crime has risen to truly intolerable levels,' former harbor master for the area Brock de Lappe told Fox News Digital.
One woman recounted a time she rescued a man on a sailboat in the middle of the night after he said pirates cut his sailboat line during an argument.
'If there had been any wind at the time I wouldn't have been able to go out there and rescue this young man who had no motor and no ability to sail that boat,' she said.

This is the reality of the “great economy” and “strong country” you keep hearing about from the Biden administration and others who carry water for them…
Here’s a look at the battle map of where this BS is happening:
The question that you want to ask is: “How is this happening, and why isn’t it being stopped?”
That’s the right question…
The answer seems to be that a descent into anarchy is by design.
If that’s not the case, we invite any public servant to chime in and explain to us what’s happening, why, and what’s being done to stop it…

“In a restroom stall in the departure hall of St. Thomas airport in the U.S. Virgin Islands, a recently hired worker waited in January with two taped-up bricks of cocaine until he heard the signal: stomping and knocking.
The airport worker reached down and passed the packages, weighing a total of nearly 5 pounds, under the partition separating him from the adjoining stall. His accomplice, whose face he wasn’t meant to see, stuffed them into a red backpack to take with him on a Spirit Airlines flight to Orlando, Fla.
Both were apprehended before the accomplice could board his flight. Court documents show that the worker, who had been with Hyannis, Mass.-based Cape Air for less than a year, was set to make $2,000 for getting the drugs into the departure hall.
The incident is among a spate of criminal activity since the recovery in air travel that has involved so-called airport insiders, those who have access to areas that for passengers would require security checks or be off-limits.
As air travel rebounds from its pandemic-era hibernation, the aviation industry has grappled with widespread disruption, near collisions of aircraft and rising workplace injuries. It is also wrestling with the growing threat of criminal gangs recruiting airport workers, according to law-enforcement authorities, government agencies and security specialists.
‘This is a huge challenge,’ said Peter Nilsson, head of Airpol, a European law-enforcement group tasked with fighting crime at airports.
‘We raised a warning when, after the pandemic, we had all airports more or less in the world rehiring people,’ he said.”

If we’re reading this right, all of the “enhanced” airport and airline security can’t seem to catch people in background checks and have areas where there’s no security to stop criminal activity, but they can harass you in a useless line that doesn’t actually stop criminals?

It should really tick you off.
You’re getting played, period.

What Does This Mean?
The people that you’ve allowed to be in charge of society day-to-day are on a mission to destroy you, and they don’t care how it happens as long as it happens.
It also means that if you’re a criminal who pays both sides, you’re likely to get away with the crime.
That’s not good.
Why Should I Care?
These headlines alone should answer that for you, but just remember you’re not immune from this - doesn’t matter how much you have, where you live, or anything else.
