I’ll bite, but with a caveat.

FTX represents the largest political campaign fraud in US history with our newly elected House Rep unwittingly being one of the largest benefactors of that fraud.

So, given the currently known facts, yeah it’s a VT story.

But I wanna hear your take Rama. Just pitching a grenade through a window and watching/hoping to see carnage is really boring for the rest of us.

Maybe it's the largest that's been so thoroughly exposed, but I doubt it's the largest. It's almost impossible to tell with campaign finance laws being so weak.

It hasn’t been throughly exposed. It is just coming to light now and the details and the extent of the fraud are mostly unknown.
Given the current known numbers, it is most assuredly the largest campaign finance fraud ever uncovered in the US.
Agree that campaign funding laws are week.

Rama's take: it is a Vermont story, and it is an important story for Vermont.

I'm happy to interact. In fact that's why I post and comment.

This subreddit was in the top 5% of numbers well before I came along. I didn't make this sub, and I don't mod it. At any time folks can down vote my stuff into a single, pathetic little line that let's one know somebody posted something there. Hell, the mods can boot me out.

This isn't my place.

Just don't expect me or even yourself to respond to comments who's only value is to express dissatisfaction with the poster.
