BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Tens of Billions of US Dollars Were Transferred to Ukraine and then Using FTX Crypto Currency the Funds Were Laundered Back to Politicians in US

We have information that the tens of billions of dollars going to Ukraine were actually laundered back to the US to corrupt Democrats and elites using FTX cryptocurrency.  Now the money is gone and FTX is bankrupt. 

Earlier today we reported that the FTX cryptocurrency appeared to be used in a ponzi scheme involving the Democrats and Ukraine.

As reported earlier, the FTX crypto company gave at least $40 million to Democrat candidates and causes in the midterms.

Sam Bankman-Fried is Biden’s second biggest donor.

In addition to this, Daily Caller lists many of the lawmakers who Sam Bankman Fried was bankrolling who oversaw the institution that was supposed to keep on eye on companies like FTX:

Sam Bankman-Fried, prolific Democratic donor and ex-CEO of now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, funded the campaigns of members of Congress overseeing the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), one of the key bodies tasked with regulating the crypto industry and the subject of Bankman-Fried’s aggressive lobbying.

Bankman-Fried’s FTX is currently under investigation by the CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) after Bankman-Fried allegedly moved $10 billion in client assets from his crypto exchange to his trading firm Alameda Research, and a liquidity crisis at his  exchange which prompted the company to file for bankruptcy. However, prior to the agency’s probe, Bankman-Fried aggressively courted the CFTC – and funded several key lawmakers charged with overseeing the agency, pouring cash into their campaign coffers.

FTX also happens to be related to Ukraine. 

The far-left Washington Post reported on March 3 that Ukraine was dealing in crypto.

The Ukrainian government has gathered more than $42 million in cryptocurrency donations since Saturday, plus digital artwork including a limited edition worth roughly $200,000, according to blockchain analytics firm Elliptic. The challenge is how the country cashes in on these assets to fund its war needs.

Then less than a week later FTX made the news for involving itself in Ukraine:
Amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman Fried has come forward to help a crypto donation project. He humbly announced that FTX will be supporting the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance and other communities in collecting crypto donations for the country. The Ukrainian government has received over $60 million in crypto donations from all over the world.

FTX’s CEO, Sam Bankman Fried highlighted that the war in Ukraine has been dragging on. The country is in full need of humanitarian help and access to global financial infrastructure. He also called attention to sanctions and crypto during this kind of situation. He indicated that crypto exchanges should enforce sanctions announced by the government seriously.

FTX has stressed across all of its regulatory and policy efforts, active coordination and communication with regulators and policymakers is crucial to ensuring that laws and rules achieve their intended outcome, reads a letter by FTX

Pointing out the urgency to help the nation Sam Bankman announced that the FTX team is honored to support the Ukrainian Ministry of Finance in simplifying the donation process.

The word is now out.  The Democrats sent tens of billions to Ukraine and then laundered this money back to Democrat pockets and funds in the US.  Now the company is bankrupt and the funds are nowhere to be found.

This information was shared on Twitter and we can confirm from our sources that this is accurate.

Remember executive order 13848 that Trump signed in 2018 **** 

The order involves foreign election interference!

Ukraine is of course a foreign country and MOST of the money,  we have sent Ukraine in the last couple years was just sent back to the Democrats,  through FTX cryptocurrency.  THIS IS CALLED MONEY LAUNDERING ..... at its finest!! 

* Trump’s EO 13848 created in 2018 showed that he KNEW they would cheat (over and over and over) and he would be allowed to Seize Assets of those involved in acts of Foreign Election Interference.

Latest Bankruptcy Filing Shows Damning Evidence Of FTX's Corrupt Business Practices

• Sam Bankman-Fried transferred assets to Bahamas government custody after bankruptcy.

• Sam Bankman-Fried chose communication tools configured to auto-delete messages after a certain period and encouraged employees to use such tools.

• Additionally, most companies in the FTX Group did not hold regular board meetings, and management had little knowledge of where corporate cash was deposited. The Group also did not keep precise records of company bank accounts, nor did it evaluate banking partners’ credit histories. Customer deposits were not visibly recorded as assets on the company’s balance sheet. 

• Alameda Research, a hedge fund, and quant trading firm that was part of the FTX Group loaned $1 billion to Sam Bankman-Fried, $543 million to FTX’s engineering head Nishad Singh, and $55 million to FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salame.

How Money From Bill Gates And FTX Bought Scientific Silence
November 23, 2022
Looking back, it’s utterly bizarre how the world of science could have gone so silent even as the world locked down and lives were shattered by the billions by governments the world over. The silence was deafening. We went from a March 2, 2020, letter signed by 800 public health experts associated with Yale University—which warned against quarantines and closures—to a strange disappearance of nearly all clear voices a few weeks later. And so things stood for the better part of two years.

Governments were allowed to create vast carnage based on a novel experiment with absolutely no precedent in history and no scientific literature that backed it. Even the World Health Organization’s pandemic plan included nothing like lockdowns as a solution to a widespread pathogen. At the time, it was obvious to me and others that the silence was due not to broad agreement with the policies but to something else.

We are more and more discovering the heightened role that the crypto exchange FTX played in funneling money to major public health outposts and academics at Johns Hopkins and Stanford University, as well as its family connections to the Columbia University department of public health. And before that funding spigot opened up, there was the Gates Foundation which had clearly pivoted from seemingly nonpartisan research to full support for the lockdowns.

To be sure, there is no one explanation for the disaster. The whole profession had already been infected by the intellectual virus of mechanistic rationalism and modeling. The idea was that if you slap some math and equations together and let the computer take over, you can gain a picture of disease outcomes under various scenarios. Such models are easily manipulated with small changes in variables.

Deborah Birx relied on these entirely in her push to get the Trump administration to greenlight the lockdowns. And there can be no doubt about that history now that Trump’s Twitter account is alive again. The end of the censorship allows us to see how he was pressured to throw out his best instincts and instead adopt a lockdown policy, not just for two weeks but for months after, even to the point of criticizing Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia for opening up that Trump considered to be “too soon.”

(As an aside, the restoration of Trump’s account also allows us to see that his last two tweets urged all Jan. 6, 2021, protesters on Capitol to stay peaceful and respect the blue. It’s no wonder the ancien régime at Twitter wanted his account blocked and blasted away.)

Having studied this trajectory closely, it seems impossible to overlook the political motives here. No question that many elites in many places had whipped themselves up into a frenzy to the point that they were willing to crush the whole of society and even give up two years of education for kids in order to drive Trump from office. The plot was to get him to make the initial call himself based on telling him lies about virus severity and the effectiveness of lockdowns. No question that he was hornswoggled.

However, in addition to these factors, one cannot neglect financial factors. Quite plainly, the grant money at the time and for two years later was clearly on the side of lockdowns and the Democrat Party, plus the elite media and their narrative line that openness equals death and lockdowns/masking/mandates were public-spirited.

Vast numbers of scientists who could have and should have spoken out remained silent, or, worse, lent their voices in support of the outrage. Much of the reason has to do with how science is funded at the university level. It’s all about getting the next grant. It’s tragic but there is a strong motivation here to curate one’s opinions in a way that paves the way for future funding sources.

This is why it is not necessary that every sellout scientist be in receipt of direct funds from Gates, FTX, or the pharmaceutical industry. All that needs to happen to control a whole sector of opinion is for the word to get out on the streets that a funding source is there with countless millions and is ready to fork over.

As a result, even the smartest and most credentialled people can be easily made to fall in line. And no question that FTX quickly picked up the reputation of somehow being concerned about “pandemic planning” and so the whole of the industry lined up with their palms out. After all, FTX promised $100 million in grants!

This is why, the Washington Post reports, “The shock waves from FTX’s free fall have rippled across the public health world, where numerous leaders in pandemic-preparedness had received funds from FTX funders or were seeking donations.”

The seeking part is key here. But so is the money trail. FTX funded the later stages of the single biggest trials for repurposed therapeutics for COVID. Countless lives hung in the balance on these trials. Many physicians the world over had experienced great outcomes in dire circumstances from generic drugs such as HCQ, Ivermectin, fluvoxamine, and others, especially when used with other vitamins and zinc. Testing them was crucial.

The results were backed by a predictable media blitz: such therapeutics don’t work. Meanwhile, the study has been severely criticized not only for poor study construction but also for the conflicts of interests of top researchers who also consulted with pharmaceutical companies.

This is all very significant because there is a strong sense that the reason for the neglect of therapeutics—by the National Institutes of Health, Gates Foundation, and also major media, which smeared anyone who suggested there might be a better way—might all trace to the economic motive of shutting down cheap alternatives to vaccines.

 

The Gates Foundation was first in, followed by Rainwater and FastGrants. FastGrants is a program established by the Charles G. Koch Foundation that also ended up giving money to Imperial College modeler Neil Ferguson, who first drove lockdown propaganda in the UK and United States. FTX modeled its own grant-giving program on FastGrants and then picked up the funding burden later in the process. (There is supreme irony here: the lie all over the internet was that the Great Barrington Declaration was funded by Koch, whereas in fact that money stream was going to the opposition!)

In addition, the Post notes, FTX “awarded $1.5 million to Stanford University’s Center for Innovation in Global Health in July for seed grants intended ‘to catalyze research and innovations that prepare for and help prevent the next pandemic.’”

Also: “The Future Fund’s commitments included $10 million to HelixNano, a biotech start-up seeking to develop a next-generation coronavirus vaccine; $250,000 to a University of Ottawa scientist researching how to eradicate viruses from plastic surfaces; and $175,000 to support a recent law school graduate’s job at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.”

We don’t know how much money Gates/FTX gave to JHU’s Center for Health Security (which had sponsored Event 201) but it was enough to cause the Center’s head Tom Inglesby to completely reverse his earlier position against lockdowns to become a leading champion of them.

“Overall, the [FTX] Future Fund was a force for good,” Inglesby told the Post. “The work they were doing was really trying to get people to think long-term … to build pandemic preparedness, to diminish the risks of biological threats.”

Following the money trail from FTX to the public health establishment will undoubtedly reveal more in the way of information, especially considering that Sam Bankman-Fried’s brother Gabe ran a lobbying organization entirely devoted to “pandemic planning.”

No question that this whole machine became an industrial behemoth over two years. When I first started Brownstone Institute, my phone and email began to blow up with offers of money and funding, but always with a proviso. I had to connect our scientists with their network of scientists in an already established system.

There was no question in my mind what was going on: I was being told to play ball in exchange for large checks to make this fledgling nonprofit work. In some way, this astonished me: I was being offered a path to riches provided I would gut the whole mission! And this was happening even before we had published any of our research!

So, yes, I saw how this system works firsthand. Of course I completely rejected the idea simply because going along would defeat the whole point of founding an institute in the first place. And yet the presumption on the part of the contacts was that surely this was just another racket in a space full of them and I would be happy to give up all principles for generous funding. I never considered it even for one instant.

There is a grotesque tragedy to all of this. Great people gave up all their principles and integrity in exchange for grants and grease from big shots who used their money and power to wreck the world over two years, and they were able to do it with very little professional opposition. And yet here we are today. Who are the real stars in the world of science today? Not those on the Gates/FTX gravy train. It is the men and women who stuck their necks out to do the right thing.

FTX Funded $27 Million PAC Led By Democrat Campaign Consultant In Arizona Who Supported Katie Hobbs

[Pompeii]

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2022/11/revealed-ftx-funding-biological-weapons-shelters-ru/

FTX was funding biological weapons shelters while laundering money from the Ukrainian government via crypto meant for their war efforts.

Millions ended up with the Democrat Party before the 2022 midterm election.

Apparently, Samual Bankman-Fried’s charitable organization was funding shelters for bioweapon attacks.

This was while he was laundering money with help from the National bank of Ukraine.

SBF launched the Future Fund charitable organization.

SBF launched a charity called the Future Fund and sat on the board with his former girlfriend Caroline Ellison.

The Future Fund was funding the construction and design of bioweapons shelters.

It appears that the links lead to legitimate websites tied to SBF.

They’re advertising/soliciting activities related to shelters from bioweapons.

And they were doing this while funneling money to Ukraine meant for their war efforts.

“There are 25+ US-funded biolabs in Ukraine which if breached would release and spread deadly pathogens to US/world.” Gabbard said back in March 2022.

 

Tulsi Gabbard made her statement based on testimony from the Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs in Eurasia, Victoria Nuland.

Victoria Nuland admitted during testimony before a US Senate committee the existence of biological research labs in Ukraine.

Less than 24 hours later, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that reports of biolabs in Ukraine were fake news propagated by Russia.

The Democrat-fake news-media complex then attacked anyone who brought up the biolabs in Ukraine.
Then this happened– Russia released alleged captured documents from Ukraine exposing evidence of US Military Biolabs in Ukraine.

Russia made the accusations in front of the United Nations General Assembly.

FTX Spreadsheet.xlsx

I have to admit, when I first made my Twitter post outing Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell and other Republicans that accepted money from various FTX executives, I did not expect it to take off like it did.

Almost immediately, the post went viral, and people began asking more questions than I had answers at the moment.

Their intrigue inspired me to dig even further into the situation to see what more I could uncover and infer from the trail of money left behind.

Below are the fruits of my labor as well as my personal observations based on the data collected. 

The sortable spreadsheet attached at the bottom can be downloaded for free and provides names, dates, dollar amounts, and party ID of every member of Congress who accepted money from Team FTX.

Key Takeaways:

FTX Executives who made political donations were: 

TIER 1 (Big Money): Sam Bankman-Fried, Ryan David Salame, Nishad Singh

TIER 2: Clarissa Watanabe, Mark Wetjen

TIER 3: Ryne Miller, Ramnik Arora, Zachary Dexter, Adam Kalinich, Brett Harrison, Danielle Barrett, Gabriel Bankman-Fried

99% of the money donated by FTX Executives went to incumbents, who were extremely likely, if not guaranteed, to win reelection. 

Of the small amount of money donated to challengers, funds were spent in OPEN SEAT races. 

In a "toss-up' or newly drawn competitive districts, money usually went to both sides or to the candidate of choice in the primaries. 

In races rated as "Likely R" or "Likely D," the money went to the candidate from that party.

On a few occasions, money was spent in these "Likely R" or "Likely D" races in the primary on preferred (establishment) candidates or candidates who appeared likely/had a strong chance of winning the primary. (ie. Max Miller (R -OH), Michael Guest (R-MS), Michelle Bond (R-NY), Carrick Flynn (D-OR), Francis Conole (D-NY)).

Donations were made strategically to members of Congress who sit on the most powerful committees.

Only 5 members of Congress who took money from FTX Executives voted AGAINST continuing aid to Ukraine. 

Bilirakis (R-FL), Duncan (R-SC), Boozman (R-AR), Cammack (R-FL), Jackson (R-TX).

5 Congressman who received money from FTX Executives sent a letter to the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) in March 2022 seeking to stop the Commision's investigation into FTX and Alameida Capital.

Tom Emmer (R-MN), Tedd Budd (R-NC), Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Jake Auchncloss (D-NJ), and Ritchie Torres (D-NY).

Samuel Bankman-Fried donated almost exclusively to Democrats.

His donations to Republicans were made exclusively to Senate Republicans who voted to convict Donald Trump in his second impeachment or who had publicly disavowed the 45th President.

 Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitt Romney (R-UT), Ben Sasse (R-NE), and Susan Collins (R-ME), John Thune (R-SD), and John Boozman (R-AR). [Impeachers in italics.]

His other major donation to Republicans went to the following "conservative" PACs:

Heartland Resurgence PAC ($50,000), which spent money in the 2022 cycle protecting John Boozman (R-AR) and Ann Wagner (R-MI).

Results for NC, Inc., ($700,00) which is Thom Thillis' (R-NC) Super PAC that spent over $1 million to take out GOP Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) in his primary.

Establishment Republican Chuck Edwards (R-NC), who defeated Cawthorn, later received a max campaign donation from Ryan David Salame in September 2022.

America United PAC ($300,000), which is a PAC funded almost exclusively by the Never Trump Republican Ziff Brothers who were caught up in the Hillary Clinton funded Trum-Russia Hoax.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi's House Majority PAC received $6,000,000 from Sam Bankman-Fried in March 2022.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer's Senate Majority PAC received $2,500,000.00 from Sam Bankman-Fried and Nishad Singh in May, June, and July 2022.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's PACs received $2,621,100.00 from Ryan David Salame in August and October of 2022.

GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy's PACs received $2,105,000.00 from Ryan David Salame in June and March of 2022.

The vast majority of money donated to Republican candidates came from FTX Executive Ryan David Salame in mid-October of 2022 once it became likely the GOP would win control of the House.

We can't know for sure, but it would be fair to assume that these October donations were made to court favor from members of the Party poised to take power in January 2023.

Already subject of an SEC Investigation, it was likely that FTX Executives felt it was increasing likely that Congress would open a simultaneous investigation into their criminal behavior.

That is of course, unless you buy them off 😉.

The most interesting donations Ryan made to Republicans went to Max Miller (R-OH), Karoline Leavitt (R-NH), Ronny Jackson (R-TX), Steve Scalise (R-LA), Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Tom Emmer (R-MN) and Kat Cammack (R-FL), who is a member of the House Freedom Caucus.

It appears likely that these donations were made in an effort, to prevent a challenge to Kevin McCarthy as Speaker if the GOP were to win control of the House.

Scalise and Stefanik (Trump Loyalists) could have emerged as potential challengers to McCarthy, but both have publicly supported McCarthy.

Despite being staunch supporters of President Trump and members of the House Freedom Caucus, Kat Cammack and Ronny Jackson declined to support Andy Biggs as Speaker and instead publicly pledged support for McCarthy. 

Leavitt lost in the general election.

Congressman-elect Max Miller has yet to make a public declaration regarding whom he supports for Speaker.

Donations made to Republican Senatorial candidates JD Vance (R-OH), Blake Masters (R-AZ), Adam Laxalt (R-NV), and Herschel Walker (R-GA) were likely done simply because it appeared that each one had a significant chance to win their respective races.

PRO TIP: If you are going to be under federal investigation, it's always best to establish as much "good will" as you can with as many Senators as possibl
