SBF Empire Crumbles as DOJ Seizes His Holdings

The US Department of Justice has moved to seize $465 million worth of shares in the stock trading app Robin Hood that were owned by the embattled CEO of the now-bankrupt company FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried.  The ultra-progressive billionaire saw his empire collapse when it was revealed his companies were essentially gambling with other peoples’ money without their consent.

SBF lauded the idea of “radical altruism,” feigning piety with the aid of the corporations his Empire helped fund, including the DNC and the corrupt token opposition wing of the GOP.  While corporate media spread fake stories about his piety, claiming he only drives a Toyota Corolla, SBF was purchasing multimillion dollar homes and using millions to pay off potential watchdogs to allow his grift to continue.

He has become the perfect poster boy for wokism, the ideology of fake concern and fake virtue that has created a whole industry of concern-troll grifters like SBF, who preach piety while using fake concern to assassinate their competition.

Moderate Dems  Get Dark Money from Big Pharma

The so-called Blue Dog Democrats, a pseudo-conservative caucus within the Democratic Party, have been receiving millions of undocumented dollars mostly from Big Pharma.  The Blue Dog org, The Center Forward Committee, saw its annual contributions jump from $5 million in 2019 to $18.8 million.  The Committee lobbied Blue Dog Dems to assure big pharma drug prices not be challenged by congress.

The committee conducted questionable polls intended to give political capital to moderate Dems to vote against legislation that Big Pharma disapproved of.
This is not an endorsement of empowering government to set drug prices (a “cure” that will more than likely cause shortages that will lead to far more pain and suffering than what such an action might potentially relieve), but rather it exposes further the level of grift within the Democratic Party itself. These Blue Dogs are not conservatives, they are opportunist political business people trading influence for wealth. Whether or not that trading results in policies that you or I might approve (like preventing the state from adding to the problems it largely creates) is irrelevant to the more salient point, that our politicians are without integrity, without virtue, but with plenty of pragmatic business acumen that serves only to enrich themselves and their family members.
