> Bankman-Fried was a major donor to President Joe Biden in the 2020 election and is the primary donor to the Protect Our Future PAC, the political action committee which endorsed Democratic candidates such as Peter Welch, who this week won his bid to become Vermont’s next senator, and Robert J. Menendez of New Jersey, who secured a House seat.

Is that an issue, and if yes why does that need to be addressed?

So what if Sam, or Bernie Madoff were Democratic politician contributors [1] >".. Alleged Ponzi scheme mastermind Bernard Madoff has been a major political donor, directing hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democratic lawmakers over the past two decades." [1]

While certainly, several attributes of these people seem to be 'in-common'.

But they just chose to contribute to whoever they though has judicial, legislative and economic power at the time.

If it would be libertarians, or constitutional conservatives (the new MAGA folks) that could influence judicial and legislative powers, then they would have received the contributions.

It just happened to be Democrats for the time periods that Sam and Bernie were active. It is not that the Democrats 'enabled' them.

So I do not see how this article is bringing light to something, that it is not.
