SBF himself said he donated the same to Republicans but did it secretly through dark money thanks to Citizens United because he thought Reporters would like him better

in other words thanks to Citizens United we have no idea who is funding US political campaigns, and that is by design. So people looking at the open records are only seeing the tip of the iceberg

> he thought Reporters would like him better

He thought right. If there’s one takeaway from this whole debacle, I hope people realize that the mainstream media is inherently dishonest and there’s no reason to trust them by default.

I think the one takeaway might be that Crypto people sre dishonest. The Media didn't fleece their customers out of billions of dollars.

He said he donated about the same to both parties, with the Republican donations hidden as dark money.
