Could FTX CEO and Democrat megadonor Sam Bankman-Fried get 'Epsteined'?



On "The News & Why It Matters," BlazeTV hosts Sara Gonzales and Alex Stein, along with actor and director Matthew Marsden, talked about the ongoing saga of Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO and founder of FTX cryptocurrency who is accused of stealing billions of dollars from the customers of his now-collapsed company.

Bankman-Fried faces up to life in prison on charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit commodities fraud, conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and conspiracy to defraud the Federal Election Commission and commit campaign finance violation. He allegedly used billions of dollars from FTX customers for his own personal use, to repay loans owed by Alameda Research, and to donate millions of dollars to political campaigns.

He was also the Democrats' second-biggest campaign donor, second only to George Soros. Are we about to see another Jeffrey Epstein situation?

Dave Portnoy goes on WILD rant about FTX collapse — leaves Tucker Carlson SPEECHLESS



On “The Rubin Report,” BlazeTV host Dave Rubin played a video clip of Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy telling Fox News' Tucker Carlson why he doesn't think we'll ever really know what happened to the collapsed crypto exchange FTX.

"I don't know that we'll truly know what happened because there are a lot of big players players who have probably lost a lot of money," Portnoy said. "I don't want to be some conspiracist, but when there's big money involved, I never think I'm getting a straight shake. Like, I mean honestly, how can [Gary] Gensler sit down with a guy who is living in a penthouse in the Bahamas with 15 people who are all having sex with each other, spending money on everything, and he's like, 'yeah, we're going to write the legislation with you?'"

"I mean, honestly, how is that possible?" he continued. "I can't tie my shoe and this guy's doing that and getting away with it? Like, 'come on to the White House and sit down and make some legislation.' It's insane!"
