“I donated to both parties. I donated about the same amount to both parties,” Bankman-Fried told the crypto commentator and citizen journalist Tiffany Fong.
"All my Republican donations were dark,” he said, referring to political donations that are not publicly disclosed. “The reason was not for regulatory reasons, it’s because reporters freak the fuck out if you donate to Republicans. They’re all super liberal, and I didn’t want to have that fight.
Bankman-Fried’s undisclosed donations were made possible by the supreme court’s 2010 decision in the Citizens United case, which made it easier for donors to give large amounts of money anonymously and has led to more than $1bn being poured into federal elections since 2010."

Since you’re not adding anything now to the conversation. Ill repeat my reply to the last silly goose who said this.
You believe the guy charges with fraud? Lol.
Come on man. If you paid any attention to this story you know he rarely tells the truth.
This guys mom cofounded a democrat super-PAC.
He was in a polycule.
If you think he gave $41M to republicans. You are high.

You can't just listen to what a liar says, then beleive the opposite. That's makes absolutely no sense.
You just need to understand their motivations as to why they would (or wouldn't) lie
SBF has little reason to lie here and what he's saying makes perfect sense.
He just wanted his "business" to be legitimate in the eyes of the law and be regulated he wanted it to, and to achieve the most legitimacy he tried to buy out both parties. Makes perfect sense.
