Props to you for presenting all known facts and focusing on facts rather than shaping a narrative as most people would tend to do. I think it’s clear that they were throwing money into politics to infiltrate it at every angle. I think people tend to forget there isn’t just two “blocks” that is the dems and republicans, it’s hundreds or thousands or individuals, orgs, pacs etc. Their political donations weren’t just chunks of money given to “the dems” or “the gop,” money was being spread out to many different groups and individuals making sure ftx could build a web of influence throughout the government with money.
