Former FTX CEO
Sam Bankman-Fried’s Bail Co-Signers Revealed – Heavy
Affiliations with Stanford University and “Election
Integrity”
GatewayPundit
The Gateway Pundit has previously raised the question as to
who paid Sam Bankman-Fried’s $250 million bond. There
was evidence that Stanford University, where SBF’s parents
are professors, was involved in the property that was put up
for his bail. Stanford does, after all, own over $1
billion in property in the county they’re located in.

Now, after a motion filed by Inner City Press on
January 3rd, the judge in the case has unsealed the property
owners. The first is Andreas Paepcke. Paepcke is
listed as a “Senior Research Scientist” at Stanford
University. According to his bio:
“His interests include user interfaces and systems for
teaching and learning. He uses data analytics to
create tools that benefit these online efforts. He
also applies machine learning technologies towards
ecological causes. In the past Dr. Paepcke and his
groups of students designed and implemented WebBase, an
experimental storage and high speed dissemination system for
Web content.”
Inner City Press tweeted the other cosigner to be Larry
Kramer, former dean of Stanford Law School. Kramer is
now the President of the William and Flora Hewlett
Foundation.
Bankman-Fried was, of course, arrested and extradited from
the Bahamas after the FTX scandal. The former
crypto-CEO was the second largest donator to the Democratic
Party while his associate was one of the strongest for the
GOP. Elon Musk at one pointed tweeted “His actual
support of the Dem elections is probably over $1B. The
money went somewhere, so where did it go?”

By VANESSA SERNA and LEWIS PENNOCK FOR DAILYMAIL.COM
Disgraced tech bro Sam Bankman-Fried has sensationally
confessed his commitment to ethics was ‘a front’ and he
‘feels bad’ for those who were ‘f***** by it’ – as he blamed
his ex-girlfriend for the FTX crisis.
The founder of the failed crypto platform, whose collapse
has cost consumers billions of dollars, admitted his efforts
to appear moral during the company’s heyday were a ‘dumb
game we woke Westerners play’.
He sensationally said blame for the disaster at FTX lay with
Alameda Research, the trading firm which he founded in 2017
and was run by his on-off lover, Harry Potter enthusiast
Caroline Ellison.
Bankman-Fried, who owned a majority stake in Alameda,
installed Ellison, 28, as CEO of the multibillion dollar
fund in October 2021 despite her limited professional
trading experience.
He appears to accept FTX lent Alameda billions of dollars in
clients’ money without their knowledge or permission. The
crisis at FTX was triggered when customers rushed to
withdraw their funds but the company couldn't pay out.
Bankman-Fried, 30, lived in a $40 million penthouse in the
Bahamas, a tax haven, with Ellison in a 10-person 'polycule'
made up his inner circle of FTX and Alameda executives.
He made his latest string of sensational comments in a car
crash interview with Vox reporter Kelsey Piper.
Serious questions are now being asked of SEC chair Gary
Gensler who is facing scrutiny over his relationship with
the disgraced crypto wunderkind - and the lack of
oversight of the crypto market that Gensler has himself
described as the Wild West.

Bankman-Fried's sensational interview came as:
Congress demanded to know how SEC chair Gary Gensler's
agency missed signs FTX was about to fall
Celebrities who endorsed the platform were hit by a lawsuit
which says consumers are owed $11 billion
The FBI was planning to extradite Bankman-Fried from the
Bahamas over the collapse of FTX
Before his downfall, Bankman-Fried sucked up to regulators
and politicians in an effort to convince them cryptocurrency
was a worthy asset that should be embraced.
But in the Vox interview, he said ‘f*** regulators’ and
accused them of making ‘everything worse’.
Piper tells Bankman-Fried: ‘You were really good at talking
about ethics, for someone who kind of saw it all as a game
with winners and losers.’
My ethics were a 'front': SBF's startling confession
The remarkable exchange in which disgraced FTX founder Sam
Bankman-Fried admits his ethical image was a 'dumb game' and
a 'front' :
Kelsey Piper: so the ethics stuff - mostly a front? people
will like you if you win and hate you if you lose and that's
how it all really works?
Sam Bankman-Fried: yeah
SBF: I mean that's not *all* of it
SBF: but it's a lot
...
KP: you were really good at talking about ethics, for
someone who kind of saw it all as a game with winners and
losers
SBF: ya
SBF: hehe
SBF: I had to be
SBF: it's what reputations are made of, to some extent
SBF: I feel bad for those who get f***** by it
SBF: by this dumb game we woke westerners play where we say
all the right shiboleths [sic] and so everyone likes us
Across a series of messages, he responds: ‘Ya, I had to be,
it’s what reputations are made of, to some extent.
‘I feel bad for those who get f***** by it, by this dumb
game we woke westerners play where we say all the right
shiboleths [sic] and so everyone likes us.’
Shibboleth generally refers to shared beliefs.
Bankman-Fried also appears to accept the suggestion that FTC
‘loaned [clients’] money to Alameda, who had gambled with
their money, and lost it’.
He said he 'thought Alameda had enough collateral to
reasonable [sic] cover it’.
Alameda was thought to owe FTX $10 billion - more than half
of FTX's assets - after it was loaned the money despite
being strictly forbidden by FTX's terms of service.
Astonishingly, Bankman-Fried says his biggest mistake was
filing for bankruptcy after FTX collapsed.
Despite his fundamental role in the failure of FTX, he
claims ‘everything would be ?70% fixed right now if I hadn’t
[filed for bankruptcy]'
‘If I hadn’t done that, withdrawals would be opening up in a
month with customers fully whole,' he said.
‘But instead I filed and the people in charge of it are
trying to burn it all to the ground out of shame.
‘I might still get there but after way more collateral
damage.’
He added: ‘I have two weeks to raise $8 billion, that’s
basically all that matters for the rest of my life.’
Authorities in America and the Bahamas, where FTX was based
and Bankman-Fried is currently holed up, are discussing the
possibility of extraditing him to the United States for
questioning.
The scandal has triggered a crisis of confidence in
cryptocurrency as a whole and caused the value of assets
including Bitcoin to plunge.
Last week it was reported that Alameda was allegedly
transferred $10 billion of FTX customer money in secret by
Bankman-Fried.
Around $2 billion of the $10 billion transferred to Alameda
is reportedly still missing.
Over the summer, the FTX owner opened up to Piper about
unethical moves within the crypto world and how 'unethical'
decisions cause 'massively more damage than good.' But now
Bankman-Fried is backtracking on his statement about
unethical moves and calling it a 'front'

The financial hole was revealed in records that
Bankman-Fried shared with other senior executives last
Sunday, sources said.
The records provided an up-to-date account of the situation
at the time, they said. Both sources held senior FTX
positions until this week and said they were briefed on the
company's finances by top staff.
Bahamas-based FTX filed for bankruptcy on Friday after a
rush of customer withdrawals earlier this week. A rescue
deal with rival exchange Binance fell through, precipitating
crypto's highest-profile collapse in recent years.
Ellison and Bankman-Fried are understood to have dated, but
have since split.
According to CoinDesk, she was among the nine friends who
lived with the former tycoon in a luxury penthouse in the
Bahamas.
He said he slept mostly on couches and beanbags at the
five-bed mansion, which he is now trying to sell for
$40million.
Investors who 'lost $11 BILLION' in failed FTX sue celebs
who endorsed crypto company - including Gisele, Tom Brady
and Shaq - as founder SBF admits firm got 'overconfident and
careless'
A string of A-list celebrities who publicly backed disgraced
crypto trading platform FTX have been sued in a class action
lawsuit worth $11 billion.
Stars including Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, Shaquille
O’Neal, Steph Curry and Larry David are among those named in
the suit filed in Florida.
It claims Bankman-Fried and the celebrities he recruited to
endorse the firm are responsible for around $11 billion of
losses to American consumers. Many of the stars were
'ambassadors' for the trading platform, while others
appeared in prime-time commercials.
The suit, filed by class action attorney Adam Moskowitz,
alleges they are collectively 'responsible for the many
billions of dollars in damages they caused Plaintiff'. It
came as Bankman-Fried continued a desperate attempt to
salvage his reputation on Wednesday by admitting: 'We got
overconfident and careless.'
He posted several tweets attempting to explain how FTX
crashed and even talked up the firm's extensive media
coverage earlier this year, writing: 'I was on the cover of
every magazine, and FTX was the darling of Silicon Valley.'
Bankman-Fried is already subject to several investigations
over the firm's collapse.

The lawsuit followed a series of dramatic developments in
the FTX case:
The FBI is planning to extradite Sam Bankman-Fried from the
Bahamas, where his firm was based
More than one million users of his collapsed platform may
never recoup their lost funds
FTX's own in-house shrink said employees were 'undersexed'
but denied their rampant amphetamine use
The company and its disgraced founder face a criminal probe
for 'gambling' investors' cash on another of his firms,
Alameda Research
The full list of names in the new filing includes: 'Sam
Bankman-Fried, Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, Stephen Curry,
Golden State Warriors, Shaquille O’Neal, Udonis Haslem,
David Ortiz, William Trevor Lawrence, Shohei Ohtani, Naomi
Osaka, Lawrence Gene David, and Kevin O’Leary.'
They are described in the 41-page as 'parties who either
controlled, promoted, assisted in, and actively participated
in' FTX's operations, allegedly in breach of Florida law.
The suit adds: 'The Deceptive and failed FTX Platform was
based upon false representations and deceptive conduct.
'Although many incriminating FTX emails and texts have
already been destroyed, we located them and they evidence
how FTX’s fraudulent scheme was designed to take advantage
of unsophisticated investors from across the country, who
utilize mobile apps to make their investments.
'As a result, American consumers collectively sustained over
$11 billion dollars in damages.'
NFL star Brady and Bundchen, his supermodel ex-wife, are
named as FTX ambassadors who 'joined the company’s
$20-million ad campaign in 2021' and starred in a
commercial 'showing them telling acquaintances to join the
FTX platform'.
Basketballer Curry is singled out for appearing in an ad
campaign in which he said he didn't need to be an expert in
crypto because 'with FTX I have everything I need to buy,
sell, and trade crypto safely'.
David appeared in a Super Bowl commercial for FTX which
showed him portraying a series of clueless characters as
they reject bright ideas through history, including the
toilet and the lightbulb.
The ad then showed David reject FTX, before a message
appears: 'Don't be like Larry.'
Brady was filmed at home calling around his friends to sign
them up with FTX. The company marketed the ad campaign with
the slogan: 'Tom Brady is in. Are you?'

The lawsuit states: 'The Deceptive FTX Platform maintained
by the FTX Entities was truly a house of cards, a Ponzi
scheme where the FTX Entities shuffled customer funds
between their opaque affiliated entities, using new investor
funds obtained through investments in the YBAs
[yield-bearing accounts] and loans to pay interest to the
old ones and to attempt to maintain the appearance of
liquidity.
'Part of the scheme employed by the FTX Entities involved
utilizing some of the biggest names in sports and
entertainment – like these Defendants – to raise funds and
drive American consumers to invest in the [yield-bearing
accounts], which were offered and sold largely from the FTX
Entities’ domestic base of operations here in Miami,
Florida, pouring billions of dollars into the Deceptive FTX
Platform to keep the whole scheme afloat.'
The suit was filed in the US District Court’s Southern
District of Florida as Bankman-Fried continued his desperate
attempts to save his empire.
In a series of tweets on Wednesday, he moaned that FTX 'got
overconfident and careless', writing: 'I was on the cover of
every magazine, and FTX was the darling of Silicon Valley.'
The thread also said: 'A few weeks ago, FTX was handling
~$10b/day of volume and billions of transfers.
'But there was too much leverage--more than I realized. A
run on the bank and market crash exhausted liquidity.
'So what can I try to do? Raise liquidity, make customers
whole, and restart.
'Maybe I'll fail. Maybe I won't get anything more for
customers than what's already there.
'I've certainly failed before. You all know that now, all

'But all I can do is to try. I've failed enough for the

FTX Attorney Reveals
Co-Founder of Company Was Ordered to Create “Secret
Backdoor” for Laundering Money
Business Insider
Where did this guy come from?
How did he become a multi-millionaire?
Was he a government asset?
Was he used by the elites to funnel money to fellow
elites?
Was he used by the deep state to sabotage crypto
currencies?
How much money did he ultimately funnel to Democrats and
their causes?
The attorney for FTX testified in court that the co-founder
of the crypto company used a secret backdoor to launder
money to Alameda Research.
FTX Crypto went bankrupt last year, its owner losing
millions of dollars.
FTX owner Sam Bankman-Fried was the second biggest donor to
Democrats in the 2022 midterms.
A bombshell testimony has revealed that the co-founder of
cryptocurrency exchange FTX was ordered by Sam Bankman-Fried
to create a ‘secret’ backdoor to funnel money to Alameda
Research.
Attorney for FTX Andrew Dietderich told the Delaware
bankruptcy court on Wednesday that Gary Wang was told to
create the secret line of credit of customer funds from FTX
to the hedge fund.
Dietderich told the court that Wang ‘created this backdoor
by inserting a single number into millions of lines of code
for the exchange’ creating the line of credit, which
‘customers did not consent’ to.
The FTX attorney testified that the backdoor was a ‘secret
way for Alameda to borrow from customers on the exchange
without permission,’ Business Insider reported.

FTX Crypto Funds were laundered back to Democrats in
US
The GatewayPundit
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.
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
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.

Sam Bankman-Fried and Tara Mac Aulay.
Wikipedia
As a result of a liquidity crises at Bankman-Fried's FTX
cryptocurrency exchange, and the revelation that substantial
FTX assets had been used by Alameda, amid allegations of
trading irregularities, the firm is winding down operations
as of November 2022. On 12 November, 2022, The Wall Street
Journal cited anonymous sources who said that Alameda
Research’s chief executive and senior FTX officials knew
that FTX had lent its customers’ money to Alameda to help it
meet its liabilities. According to the sources, Alameda CEO
Caroline Ellison said that she, Mr. Bankman-Fried and two
other FTX executives, Nishad Singh and Gary Wang, were aware
of the decision.[4]
Alameda Research filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November
2022.[5] ... Alameda Research is a quantitative trading firm
specializing in cryptocurrencies. Its strategies include
arbitrage, market making, yield farming, and trading
volatility.[1] ... History
In November 2017, Sam Bankman-Fried founded Alameda Research
as a quantitative trading firm, after he left his job at
Jane Street Capital.[6] ... In January 2018, Bankman-Fried
organized an arbitrage trade, moving up to $25M per day, to
take advantage of the higher price of bitcoin in Japan
compared to the price in America.[6][7][2] ... In late 2018,
the headquarters of the firm was moved to Hong Kong.[6] ...
As of August 2021, Bankman-Fried owned approximately 90% of
Alameda Research.[6]
On 8 November 2022, following a liquidity crisis at FTX—a
large cryptocurrency exchange deeply linked to the trading
firm—Binance and FTX signed a letter of intent for FTX to be
acquired by Binance. The value of Alameda was affected, and
was estimated to have dropped over 90 percent following the
public disclosure of problems and the FTX acquisition
deal.[8] Alameda held a large quantity of FTT, the native
token of the FTX exchange, as assets on its books.
TechCrunch reported that "the exchange was unusually
intertwined with its sister entity, Alameda Research."[9]
Principal shareholder Bankman-Fried had an estimated net
worth of $10.5 billion in October 2022[10] and it dropped to
approximately $1 billion according to the Bloomberg
Billionaires Index following the crises and preliminary
acquisition agreement on 8 November 2022.[8]
Late in the day on 9 November, the Wall Street Journal
reported that Binance was walking away from the FTX
acquisition.[11] Binance cited FTX's mishandling of customer
funds and pending investigations of FTX as the reasons the
firm would not pursue the deal.[12]
On 9 November 2022, Alameda's website was taken down.[13]
The next day Bankman-Fried stated that Alameda Research was
winding down trading and would close.[14] Alameda Research,
along with FTX and more than 130 affiliated entities, filed
for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2022.[5][15]

The crisis has demolished Sam Bankman-Fried’s public image
as a go-to resource for policymakers writing rules for
crypto.

Crypto megadonor Sam Bankman-Fried helped bankroll
Democrats’ overperformance in the midterms. But any friends
he may have had in Washington won’t be there for him as his
crumbling business empire threatens to torpedo the entire
digital currency market.
Bankman-Fried’s Washington influence — as well as billions
of dollars of his personal wealth — nearly vanished in the
span of 48 hours, after it emerged that the giant crypto
exchange he founded was insolvent and unable to meet
customer withdrawals.
State and federal regulators are now investigating the
exchange, FTX, to determine whether it may have harmed
clients or broken other financial regulations. An emergency
rescue from competing digital asset exchange Binance fell
apart after the company dug into FTX’s financials and
investigators circled.
The crisis has demolished Bankman-Fried’s public image as a
go-to resource for policymakers writing rules for crypto — a
reputation that was built on his willingness to write
multimillion dollar checks to boost Democrats.
One Democratic congressional staffer who requested anonymity
because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly compared
the collapse to seeing the man behind the curtain in “The
Wizard of Oz,” with Bankman-Fried’s razzle-dazzle
performance for lawmakers and regulators amounting to smoke
and mirrors.
“There are folks who are going to feel burned by this whole
episode,” said Isaac Boltansky, director of policy research
at the global financial services firm BTIG. “This is a
pretty big body blow for an industry that was just starting
to get its legs under it.”
The meltdown — arguably the most devastating in the history
of crypto — is threatening to derail a broader industry
lobbying campaign that had been gaining traction with
Republicans and Democrats eager to draft new laws to
accommodate digital asset startups. Bankman-Fried and his
lobbyists, including former federal regulators, were at the
center of the effort. It’s also wreaking financial havoc
across the crypto market, creating new headaches for FTX’s
competitors and other firms.
Crypto executives and lobbyists are already distancing
themselves from Bankman-Fried.
“This is an absolutely stunning turnaround from somebody who
was the darling of Washington policy circles,” said
Blockchain Association Executive Director Kristin Smith. “It
was built on a house of cards.”
FTX’s financial crunch came to light earlier this week,
after a series of events pointed to instability at the
company.
Crypto media outlet CoinDesk on Nov. 2 published a report
indicating that Alameda Research — a trading firm that’s
also owned by Bankman-Fried — had propped up its balance
sheet with billions of dollars in a highly illiquid digital
token that had been issued by FTX. On Sunday, Binance — the
world’s largest crypto exchange and a major FTX competitor —
announced that it would dump its holdings in the token in
light of the revelation.
Customers raced to pull their funds from FTX, prompting the
company to halt withdrawals — a move that trapped hundreds
of millions of dollars’ worth of crypto on the exchange.
Bankman-Fried negotiated an emergency sale of the company to
Binance and announced it Tuesday, but the deal fell apart by
Wednesday afternoon.
“As a result of corporate due diligence, as well as the
latest news reports regarding mishandled customer funds and
alleged US agency investigations, we have decided that we
will not pursue the potential acquisition of FTX.com,”
Binance said in a Twitter post Wednesday. FTX declined to
comment.
It all marked a complete reversal from the role
Bankman-Fried played earlier this year, when his firms
rescued other ailing startups during another crypto crash.
Bankman-Fried’s attempt in recent months to portray FTX as
the crypto world’s source of financial stability provided
the 30-year-old an opportunity to make inroads with
policymakers, to whom he decried the industry’s excesses as
the company lobbied to shape a flurry of crypto bills and
regulations.
“Every day that we don’t get anything done on the crypto
policy side, simultaneously, customers are not protected,”
Bankman-Fried said in an October interview. “There is no
preemptive cop on the beat. And also 95 percent of the
industry is offshore because there are no clear guardrails
in the United States.”
Bankman-Fried’s Washington campaign was bolstered by his
emergence as a political megadonor. He contributed more than
$40 million to Democratic candidates and a network of super
PACs that promoted crypto and public health policies.
But even Bankman-Fried’s political aspirations proved wobbly
in recent weeks. He angered progressive Democrats in October
when he walked back plans to spend $1 billion on races
through 2024, saying in a POLITICO interview that his pledge
was a “dumb quote on my part” and that he didn’t believe
additional contributions would make an impact.
Bankman-Fried is now facing intense scrutiny from regulators
and lawmakers, after his firms triggered a market-wide
crypto crash that’s also being felt on Wall Street.
Bankman-Fried lost more than 90 percent of his $16 billion
fortune in a matter of days, according to the Bloomberg
Billionaires Index.

FTX
Facing Criminal Probe By Bahamas Authorities, But Musk
Counters There Will Be "No Investigation" Of "Major
Democrat Donor" SBF

SUNDAY, NOV 13, 2022 - 11:30 AM
Amid growing speculation of his whereabouts, Bloomberg
reports that Sam Bankman-Fried was interviewed by Bahamian
police and regulators on Saturday, although Bloomberg was
quick to add that in the Bahamas, law-enforcement inquiries
don’t necessarily mean someone will be arrested or charged
with a crime.
Source: CoinTelegraph
In a separate report, Bloomberg also notes that the Bahamian
police said they’re working with the Bahamas Securities
Commission to investigate whether there was any criminal
misconduct in the collapse of the crypto exchange FTX
(narrator: there was).
“In light of the collapse of FTX globally and the
provisional liquidation of FTX Digital Markets Ltd., a team
of financial investigators from the Financial Crimes
Investigation Branch are working closely with the Bahamas
Securities Commission to investigate if any criminal
misconduct occurred,” a police spokesperson said in a
statement Sunday.
Separately, CoinTelegraph adds that in addition to SBF, the
low profile FTX co-founder Gary Wang and director of
engineering Nishad Singh are also said to be in the Bahamas
and are “under supervision” by the local authorities. A
source familiar with the matter told Cointelegraph that the
three former FTX executives, as well as Alameda Research CEO
Caroline Ellison, are looking for ways to flee to Dubai.
While the plan was made assuming that the United States
“doesn't have any extradition treaties” with the UAE, the
nations signed a mutual legal assistance treaty (MLAT) back
on Feb. 24, 2022, to work against criminals.
“Right now three of them, Sam, Gary, and Nishad are under
supervision in the Bahamas, which means it will be hard for
them to leave,” said the CT source, who asked to remain
anonymous. The source has also revealed that Ellison is
currently in Hong Kong, adding that means “she might be able
to get to Dubai.” However, community member coinbureau cited
his source in the U.S. government to confirm that FTX
members attempting to reach Dubai will get detained at the
airport and sent straight back to the United States.
A similar theory was discussed as part of a 16-hour-long
Twitter Space by The Crypto Roundtable Show host Mario
Nawfal, with a guest speaker claiming “trusted sources” have
witnessed Bankman-Fried “in a locked space” with authorities
in Albany Tower — a luxury resort located in New Providence
in The Bahamas. An unverified rumor also suggests that
Bankman-Fried is currently joined by his father, Joseph
Bankman.
Rumors that Bankman-Fried had been arrested on the tarmac at
The Bahamas Airport made the rounds on Nov. 10 with evidence
suggesting that Bankman-Fried’s private jet had been
grounded for 40 minutes while on the way to Miami from
Nassau.
On Nov. 12, rumors then pointed to Bankman-Fried having
landed in Buenos Aires in the early hours of the day after
Twitter users tracked the coordinates of his private jet
using the flight tracking website ADS-B Exchange.
Later in the day, Bankman-Fried in a text message to Reuters
denied speculation that he had fled to Argentina, claiming
that he was still in The Bahamas.
The former FTX CEO is at the center of one of the industry’s
biggest scandals: the Department of Financial Protection and
Innovation (DFPI) in the state of California announced on
Nov. 10 that it will open up an investigation as to the
“apparent failure” of the exchange. Bloomberg and WSJ have
reported that SBF is also dealing scrutiny from the
Securities and Exchange Commission over whether he broke
securities rules.
On Saturday, the WSJ reported that there was a video
conference in which Alameda Research head, Caroline Ellison
admitted that she, Bankman-Fried and two other FTX
executives, Nishad Singh and Gary Wang, were aware of the
decision to send customer funds to Alameda, effectively
making the prosecution's case a slam dunk.
But maybe not: in his latest jab at the corrupt US system,
Elon Musk - who is now a bigger non-grata persona with the
US left than even Donald Trump - tweeted that Sam Bankman
Fried was a major Democrat donor, "so no investigation."
As a reminder, SBF was the #2 Dem donor after Soros...
... which is to say that Musk is not wrong.

- Deep state
money supply: FTX, the collapsed crypto exchange,
funded the “TOGETHER Trial” to discredit ivermectin
- NaturalNews
- Remember that infamous New England Journal of Medicine
(NEJM) study that declared ivermectin to be an
ineffective remedy against the Wuhan coronavirus
(Covid-19)? It turns out that the now-defunct
cryptocurrency exchange FTX helped pay for it.
On May 16, the FTX Foundation issued a press release
“proudly” announcing financial support for the “global
expansion of the TOGETHER Trial,” as they called it, the
lead investigators of which were awarded that very same
day the prestigious Trial of the Year Award from the
Society for Clinical Trials (SCT) in San Diego.
“Each year the SCT presents one award for a randomized
clinical trial published the previous year that best
exemplifies five key criteria including improvements to
humankind and provides a basis for substantial and
beneficial changes to health care,” the press release
states.
“The TOGETHER Trial is the largest placebo-controlled
COVID-19 trial and has, so far, evaluated 11 different
treatments for COVID-19. On May 16, the TOGETHER trial
receives the award and announces more than $18 million
in funding and purchase commitments from the FTX
Foundation that will enable the expansion of the trial
from Brazil and Canada, to include experienced sites in
South Africa, Rwanda, the Democratic Republic of the
Congo, the Bahamas, Pakistan, Vietnam, and Ghana.”
The press release goes on to feature quotes from several
lead investigators as well as employees at the FTX
Foundation, all of whom celebrated and praised each
other for this “achievement”. (Related: Other research
out of Brazil found that ivermectin helps reduce the
risk of covid death by 92 percent.)
Brighteon.TV
Did FTX steal crypto investors’ money to fund corrupt
studies like the TOGETHER Trial?
David Henderson of EconLog critiqued the FTX-funded
anti-ivermectin study and found that “it is not nearly
as conclusive and persuasive as the two doctors’ quotes
and other media coverage would lead us to believe.”
It turns out trial participants actually did benefit
from the use of ivermectin, which in many other
countries is available as an over-the-counter medication
similar to aspirin. Only in the United States and other
heavily globalist-controlled countries is ivermectin
prescription-only or not available at all due to
political pressures.
Henderson explains that the study’s methodology was
flawed because prospective patients who were sick with
covid and actually wanted ivermectin shied away from it
because of the 50-50 chance that they would end up with
a placebo instead.
“Further, those who wanted ivermectin likely would have
had a serious case of COVID; hence their desire for the
drug,” he says. “Therefore, we can assume that the trial
participants skewed toward those who considered
themselves at low risk from the illness. This conflicts
with the stated goal of the trial, which was to study
high-risk patients.”
None of this ended up mattering, though, as the
globalists behind the TOGETHER Trial produced the
results they wanted. And the FTX Foundation is a big
reason why that happened, as the organization presumably
stole crypto investors’ money to supply the cash needed
to make it happen.
Since we now know that FTX head Sam Bankman-Fried bilked
investor cash to funnel it into Ukraine and ultimately
the Biden regime and other Democrats, it is hardly a
stretch to assume that the same criminality was used to
fund this anti-ivermectin trial, and possibly other
studies as well.
“Criminal charges need to be brought to those
responsible for shutting down doctors from helping their
patients during the pandemic,” wrote a commenter about
the anti-ivermectin agenda and everyone behind it,
including Bankman-Fried and his FTX scam.

FTX
funded vaccine research, biotech engineering,
depopulation ...through the “scientific research”
community
The hundreds of grants and investments totaling at least
$132 million that were earmarked by the FTX Foundation and
its FTX Future Fund for use in developing new bioweapons,
“vaccines” and other chemical and pharmaceutical products
are officially null and void. And their recipients are now
in a panic about it.
Following the announced resignation of the entire Future
Fund leadership team on November 11, one of the companies
that was supposed to receive a cash grant from it,
SecureBio, lamented the fact that employees at his firm will
now be out of a job unless emergency backup funding is
procured.
“We don’t think it is right that anyone should lose their
jobs over a financial calamity totally unrelated to the
excellent work they are doing,” announced SecureBio
co-founder Kevin Esvelt.
SecureBio had initially been awarded a $1.2 million grant to
develop “better pandemic defenses,” according to Coin
Telegraph.
Another company, a biotechnology firm called Sherlock
Biosciences, was supposed to receive $2 million from the
Future Fund to study infectious diseases. HelixNano, a
similar firm within the same field, was supposed to receive
$10 million for vaccine research.
Then there is Our World in Data, which was supposed to be
given $7.5 million to “track trends relevant to humanity’s
long-term prospects,” whatever that is supposed to mean.
FTX was also involved in research to “debunk” the merits of
ivermectin as a viable remedy for the Wuhan coronavirus
(COVID-19).
Brighteon.TV
Another entity that was supposed to be on the dole of FTX’s
“philanthropic” efforts via Sam Bankman-Fried’s (SBF)
“Building a Stronger Future” initiative is ProPublica, which
was to receive the first tranche of a $5 million grant this
year, followed by more disbursements in 2023 and 2024.
Organizations that received money from FTX in the 90 days
prior to its bankruptcy could be subject to a “clawback”
According to Molly Kovite, a lawyer and member of the
“Effective Altruism” group, all of these organizations and
others that received money from an FTX entity within the 90
days prior to its bankruptcy declaration could be forced to
pay it all back through a process known as a “clawback.”
Two days after Kovite announced this on November 14, Open
Philanthropy, the philanthropic funder that Kovite
represents, announced that it is seeking applications from
grantees affected by the collapse of the Future Fund. Each
application will be evaluated and provided funding at the
group’s discretion.
Meanwhile, U.S. Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and
Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) are requesting that SBF, the former
FTX CEO, and John Jay Ray III, the current CEO, provide more
information about what happened to collapse the fraudulent
cryptocurrency exchange.
Some 13 different requests for documents, lists and answers
have been sent by these two, who are still awaiting answers
on behalf of the American public.
“The public is owed a complete and transparent accounting of
the business practices and financial activities leading up
to and following FTX’s collapse,” the two lawmakers wrote,
emphasizing that there has been an “apparent lack of due
diligence by venture capital and other big investment funds
eager to get rich off crypto.”
“These developments justify our long-standing concerns that
the crypto industry ‘is built to favor scammers’ and
‘designed to reward insiders and to defraud mom-and-pop
investors,'” they further added.
SBF and Ray have until November 28 to provide the requested
materials, which also include “complete copies of all FTX
and FTX-subsidiary balance sheets, from 2019 to the
present.”
Warren and Durbin also want SBF to provide an explanation
for his business decisions as well as strange statements he
has made on Twitter that appear to be encoded for secret
communication.

FTX, Tether, the CIA,
Drug Cartels and Ukraine
The FTX scandal is only getting started. Another
cryptocurrency by the name of Tether is also on the brink of
failing and both FTX and Tether appear to have been tools of
the Deep State.
A week ago TGP reported that FTX was used as a money
laundering scheme in Ukraine where money sent there was sent
back to US politicians.
Revolver added more to this story overnight. In a
lengthy article, Revolver notes first that FTX may not be
the largest cryptocurrency-related entity to collapse in the
coming months. Another crypto by the name of
“Tether” or USDT is also in big trouble.
TRENDING: RNC Had Roving Attorneys Quietly Monitoring
Maricopa Voting Centers, One Has Finally Released His
Damning Finds: Report
USDT, or Tether, is what is known as a “stablecoin.” A
stablecoin is a cryptocurrency that, instead of fluctuating
in value, is intended to hold to a consistent price. Tether
is a USD stablecoin — each Tether is supposed to be equal in
value to one U.S. dollar. While most cryptocurrencies are
wildly speculative and backed by essentially nothing, each
Tether is supposed to be backed directly by a U.S. dollar,
or an extremely liquid, reliable investment like a U.S.
treasury bond….
…Tether has the third highest market cap of any crypto
currency at $66 billion, trailing only Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Today, fully half of all bitcoin trades globally are
executed using Tether.
Revolver goes on to report that Alameda Research was one of
two firms responsible for “seeping” Tether into the crypto
ecosystem.
Did that last sentence set off any alarm bells? It should
have. Alameda Research is the quantitative trading firm
founded by Sam Bankman-Fried. Bankman-Fried and his partner
in crime, Alameda CEO Caroline Ellison, allegedly propped up
their trading firm by plundering FTX customer accounts.
The inner workings of Tether remain remarkably opaque. New
Tethers are supposed to only be minted, and added to the
crypto ecosystem, when somebody gives Tether Limited dollars
to create them. And if that’s how it all worked, Tether
would be fine.
But there is no evidence Tether actually works this way. We
repeat: There is no proof that Tether stablecoins are backed
by the store of tangible assets that is supposed to justify
their value.
Surprisingly, Tether has never been audited. No one
knows if Tether which has a $68 billion market value is
really backed by the dollar.
The “Wolf of Wall Street” even has questions about Tether.
Revolver sums it up like this:
It’s important to state what is happening if Tether is not
actually backed by the dollars that it claims. If Tether
Limited is pumping out new Tethers without actually taking
in an equal amount of USD, then it is essentially a
privately-run money printer.
Revolver then goes on to discuss the founder of Tether, “a
washed-up former child actor involved in a sex scandal with
underaged minors that quietly dissipated without charges.”
Ultimately, it is clear that Tether is a mess, a real big
mess.
But the strange thing about it is that US government-backed
rebels in Myanmar are using Tether as their currency of
choice. It also happens that al-Qaeda-affiliated Sunni
rebel groups of Syria also just so happen to love Tether.
Tether is not just the cryptocurrency of choice for
US-backed rebel groups. It has also become a favorite of
drug cartels, which, according to some journalists, are
deeply intertwined with U.S. three-letter agencies,
including the CIA.
When the U.S. placed sanctions on Tornado Cash, a crypto
service that assists in concealing the transfer of crypto
funds, Tether ignored that sanction. One might expect that
defiance to draw the wrath of U.S. regulators. Yet when the
Washington Post looked into the matter, regulators seemed
surprisingly unbothered.
And of course, Tether is being used in Ukraine –
Tether demand skyrocketed in Ukraine right after the Russian
military operation began in February of this year. Ukrainian
charities made appeals for Tether-based donations.
All of this was aided by Tether’s special advantage for use
in money laundering, according to Bloomberg:
Revolver goes on to describe the close relationship between
Tether and FTX. What really is going on?

Sam Bankman-Fried's Parents Bought Bahamas "Vacation Home"
Among $121 Million In FTX Property Purchases

TUESDAY, NOV 22, 2022 - 01:11 PM
It turns out that it wasn't just the "executives" running
the show at FTX and Alameda who were enjoying the luxuries
of owning mansion in the Bahamas...
Sam Bankman-Fried's parents were also among a group that
"bought at least 19 properties worth nearly $121 million in
the Bahamas over the past two years", Reuters reported
Tuesday morning, citing official property records.
Most of the property purchases were "luxury beachfront
homes, including seven condominiums in an expensive resort
community called Albany, costing almost $72 million", the
report says. The properties were officially purchased by a
unit of FTX.
The deeds of the properties showed that they would be used
for "residence for key personnel" of FTX, Reuters wrote:
Other high-end real estate purchases include three
condominiums at One Cable Beach, a beachfront residence in
New Providence. Records showed the condominiums cost between
$950,000 and $2 million and were bought by Nishad Singh, the
former head of engineering at FTX, Gary Wang, an FTX
co-founder, and Bankman-Fried for residential use.
Stanford University law professors Joseph Bankman and
Barbara Fried were listed as signatories on a home in Old
Fort Bay that was said to be used as a "vacation home".
Reuters was able to contact a spokesperson for the
professors, who said they had "been trying to return the
property to FTX".
Sure, now that the company has blown up...easy decision.
As we said on Twitter this morning, it's great work if you
can get it...
The spokesperson told Reuters: "Since before the bankruptcy
proceedings, Mr. Bankman and Ms. Fried have been seeking to
return the deed to the company and are awaiting further
instructions."
Reuters unearthed the new details by searching records at
the Bahamas Registrar General's Department "for FTX,
Bankman-Fried, his parents and some of the company's key
executives".
A unit of FTX called "FTX Property Holdings Ltd" bought
about 15 properties worth $100 million in 2021 and 2022.
FTX's headquarters is now abandoned, the report says. The
$4.5 million plot of land is empty.

SBF Was Meeting With Senior White
House Officials Shortly Before FTX Collapse
FTX founder and accused crypto-crook Sam Bankman-Fried met
with senior White House officials on at least four occasions
in the months leading up to his firm’s massive implosion,
Bloomberg reports.
On Sept. 8, SBF met with senior Biden adviser Steve
Ricchetti in a previously unreported encounter, White House
officials familiar with the matter said. The meeting was
“the latest in a handful of sessions,” according to the
report.
Bankman-Fried had at least three others previously disclosed
in White House visitor logs. They include one April 22 and
another May 12, each with Ricchetti, and one a day later, on
May 13, with Bruce Reed, another senior Biden aide,
officials confirmed. The final meeting is recorded in logs
as two meetings held back-to-back, but was one meeting,
officials said. Some of the prior White House meetings
included others from FTX. -Bloomberg
What’s more, Bankman-Fried’s brother, Gabriel, held a March
meeting of his own and was also at the May 13 meeting –
bringing the total number up to five meetings that involved
one or bother brothers.
According to one source, “politics” were not discussed
despite SBF being a Democrat megadonor credited as a major
factor in President Biden’s 2020 win. Instead, the brothers
allegedly talked about general matters related to the
‘crypto industry and exchanges,’ as well as “pandemic
prevention related to the foundation, Guarding Against
Pandemics, run by Gabe Bankman-Fried,” according to an
official.

timeline notes on Ukraine Oligarch Jews
- 1726: Livingstone / Transhumanism...
According to Rabbi Antelman, the Rothschilds were
members of the Sabbatean sect known as the Frankists,
who were founded in 1755 by Jacob Frank, originally
Jacob Leibowicz. Frank is believed to have been born in
Eastern Poland, now Ukraine, in about 1726 into a
Sabbatean family. As a traveling merchant he often
visited Ottoman Greece where he earned the nickname
“Frank,” a name generally given in the East to
Europeans. He also lived in Smyrna and Salonika where he
was initiated into the Sabbatean Kabbalah by the radical
Dönmeh circle that emerged from Osman Baba (Baruchya
Russo). In 1755 he reappeared in Poland, gathered a
group of local adherents and began to preach the
“revelations” which were communicated to him by the
Dönmeh in Salonika. Frank taught a doctrine of the
“holiness of sin,” claiming that with the arrival of the
messiah, everything was permitted. Among the more
radical Frankists, explains Gershom Scholem, there
developed a “veritable mythology of nihilism,” in which
the new messianic dispensation “entailed a complete
reversal of values, symbolized by the change of the
thirty-six prohibitions of the Torah... into positive
commands.”24 Like the ancient Gnostics, they therefore
indulged in orgiastic and sexually promiscuous and even
incestuous rites.

as the Russian president (Putin) set about consolidating
power on one side of the world, he embarked on a project
to supplant his country’s existing Jewish civil society
and replace it with a parallel structure loyal to him.
On the other side of the world, the brash Manhattan
developer (Trump) was working to get a piece of the
massive flows of capital that were fleeing the former
Soviet Union in search of stable assets in the West,
especially real estate, and seeking partners in New York
with ties to the region. Their respective ambitions led
the two men—along with Trump’s future son-in-law Jared
Kushner—to build a set of close, overlapping
relationships in a small world that intersects on
Chabad, an international Hasidic movement most people
have never heard of. Starting in 1999, Putin enlisted
two of his closest confidants, the oligarchs Lev Leviev
and Roman Abramovich, who would go on to become Chabad’s
biggest patrons worldwide, to create the Federation of
Jewish Communities of Russia under the leadership of
Chabad rabbi Berel Lazar, who would come to be known as
“Putin’s rabbi.”

McCain Lives In George Soros’ Back Pocket ...
Sputniknews.com reports: Ortel, who has been looking
into the Clintons Foundation’s alleged fraud for the
past few years, told Sputnik that the McCain-hosted
annual Sedona Forum, the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI)
and other private gatherings which bring together senior
foreign officials and American serving politicians “seem
highly suspect” and “deserve tough scrutiny” concerning
“related party transactions” that likely are created
behind closed doors at such events. The McCain Institute
for International Leadership The McCain Institute for
International Leadership at Arizona State University
(ASU) was founded in 2012 with $8.7 million in funds
leftover from McCain’s 2008 futile presidential
campaign. In the introduction video, Michael M. Crow,
the ASU president explains that “in the spirit of John
McCain himself and the spirit of multiple generations of
the McCain family, The McCain Institute for
International Leadership… is an opportunity to step out
and depart from the standard think tank model,” which
means that they are “not sitting and talking about
things” but “facilitate the making of decisions.” The
departure from “the standard think tank model” could be
seen in the Institute’s unwillingness to disclose the
amount of donations made by its most generous foreign
donors, as The Daily Caller’s investigative journalist
Richard Pollock found in his July report. ... McCain was
spotted equally enthusiastically supporting the
so-called Euromaidan Revolution in Ukraine which
resulted in a coup d’etat in February 2014.

that Russians hacked into a Ukrainian artillery app,
resulting in heavy losses of howitzers in Ukraine’s war

the real story of Russiagate is emerging, that it is a
case of collusion between the highest levels of British
intelligence and Obama's intelligence team, out to
conduct a "regime change" against Trump and the American
voters, ...LPAC's Special Report, "Robert
Mueller is an Amoral Legal Assassin", ... that it
is revenge for his defeat of Hillary Clinton and the
Democrats. Such simplistic explanations may satisfy
partisan sensitivities, but offer no competent battle
plan to defeat the anti-Trump coup. ... Brennan and
Clapper, like their British counterparts, are driven by
an hysterical fear that Donald Trump's pledge to work
together, in collaboration especially with Russia's
Putin, would put an end to the geopolitical paradigm of
war and confrontation on which the post-Cold War order
has been constructed, and on which their careers have
been based. ... They and their neocon allies believe in
the doctrine of unilateralism, that the financial and
military elite of the Trans-Atlantic world alone have
the right to dictate policy, to launch wars and coups
against governments which do not fall in line. The
emergence of China, with its Belt and Road Initiative,
in alliance with a sovereign Russia, is seen by the
likes of Brennan and Clapper as an existential threat to
their existence. and Ukraine ... Brennan worked with
NeoNazis in Ukraine fo further this casuse... Trump,
during his campaign, spoke out against Obama's expansion
of NATO to Russia's borders, and against providing
weapons to the Poroshenko government. .... A second
example is Brennan's support for arming and training
jihadists in Syria to overthrow the Assad government.
During a March 2016 trip to Moscow, as Russian support
for Assad had turned the tide against Brennan's
"rebels," he demanded that Russia drop its backing of
Assad. At the height of the battle of Aleppo, in
December 2016, Brennan defended the terrorists, calling
them "oppositionists", who were only "trying to reclaim
their country" from Assad. ... The Russiagate attacks on
Trump have, in many ways, constrained him from making a
full break with the geopolitical doctrines of the
British-Obama imperial establishment. In this context,
Rand Paul's questions of the new CIA director serve a
real purpose. Haspel presented herself before the Senate
as a hard-liner against Russia. She testified that she
argued for a forceful response against Russia in the
fraudulent Skripal affair, advising Trump to make a
strong demonstration against Russia, and to stand with
the British. The U.S. subsequently joined with U.K. and
French forces in launching missile strikes against
Syria.

Sept Wikipedia (deep state
propaganda)...The Trump–Ukraine controversy is
ongoing in the United States. The controversy relates to
whether U.S. President Donald Trump and top Trump
administration officials were soliciting foreign
interference in American elections for Trump's personal
and political benefit or simply pursuing their duties to
investigate corruption and a cover up by their political
opponents. Historians, diplomats, and former White House
officials of both parties have said that it was
unprecedented for a U.S. president to seek to enlist
assistance from foreign powers to damage domestic
political opponents. The controversy sparked an
impeachment inquiry against Trump. The controversy was
launched by a whistleblower report which revealed that
Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in
July 2019 to investigate Joe Biden, Trump's potential
opponent in the 2020 presidential election, as well as
his son Hunter Biden and the company CrowdStrike, and to
discuss these matters with Trump's personal attorney
Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General William Barr. These
allegations were confirmed by a non-verbatim summary of
the conversation released by the White House. Trump
acknowledged he had told Zelensky "we don't want our
people like Vice President Biden and his son
[contributing] to the corruption already in the
Ukraine." The whistleblower alleged that the call was
part of a wider campaign by Trump, his administration,
and Giuliani to pressure Ukraine into investigating the
Bidens, which may have included Trump's cancelling a
scheduled trip to Ukraine by Vice President Mike Pence,
and Trump withholding $400 million in military aid from
Ukraine. Immediately after the Trump-Zelensky call
ended, White House national security aides discussed
their deep concerns, with at least one National Security
Council (NSC) official alerting White House national
security lawyers. A text message between a State
department envoy to Ukraine and a Ukrainian official
showed the envoy understood from the White House that a
Zelensky visit with Trump was contingent upon Ukraine's
investigating a conspiracy theory about alleged
Ukrainian meddling in the 2016 American election.

Biden’s possible criminal activity is simply a
smokescreen by the Democrats. Only two reasons exist for
the rapid call for impeaching the President. 1, they
want to try to get him out of office as soon as possible
before their own criminal house of cards is exposed and
2, they want the impeachment process to dominate the
news over any incriminating evidence he has found that
most of them know will implicate them. Since President
Trump surprised them by releasing a transcript of the
entire call with President Zelensky, their latest
attempt at removing him from office is another failure
exactly like the last time... we also learn of the private equity firm run by
the sons of John Kerry and Joe Biden. The firm,
Rosemont Seneca is just an LLC with a spiderweb of
businesses associated with it. Along with Hunter Biden

Pelosi Jr. are also involved with associated dark
businesses. Joe Biden himself is exposed
with him being paid a million dollars for lobbying
activities from Burisma Holdings according to
Ukrainian MP Andriy Derkach. As far as the so-called
whistleblowers go, they have nothing, but more
incriminating evidence against Biden and
Obama. The latest whistleblower was
a CIA agent, a Democrat, who actually worked with
Biden while he was Vice President while Barack Obama
was completely aware of this from the beginning. Thus,
they are not whistleblowers, but plants to make it seem

records regarding, concerning, or related to the
monitoring of any U.S.-based journalist, reporter, or
media commentator by any employee or office of the
Department of State between January 1, 2019 and the
present.” “That includes all records pertaining to the
scope of the monitoring to be conducted and individuals
subject to it as well as records documenting the
information collected pursuant to the monitoring,” the
watchdog group stated. “The FOIA request also asks for
all records of communication between any official,
employee or representative of the State Department and
any other individual or entity.” A source with knowledge
confirmed to SaraACarter.com that Yovanovitch, an Obama
appointee, had allegedly requested the monitoring of
this reporter. A source, with knowledge of the
information, said “Sara Carter, as well as The Hill’s
former columnist John Solomon, among
others, were being monitored.” Yovanovitch was a career
diplomat. She also served at embassies in Kyrgyzstan and
Armenia. She was appointed ambassador to Ukraine by
Obama in 2016 and was recalled by the State Department
in May. On Friday, Yovanovitch testified behind closed
doors during the House impeachment inquiry against

well.” “We also have concerns that possibly they were
monitoring press from different journalists and
others,” Nunes said. “That we don’t know, but we have
people who are giving us this information and we’re
going to ask these questions to the State Department
and hopefully they’re going to get the answers before
she comes in on Friday.” A former senior U.S. Official

Oct 14 ActivistPost...
Scandal-plagued U.S. President Donald Trump and
Democratic “wonder boy” candidate Joe Biden have been
exchanging political punches over a new scandal that
erupted in Ukraine. Trump asked the Ukrainian President
to investigate potential corruption involving Joe’s son,
Hunter Biden, after a prosecutor investigating his
financial dealings was fired in exchange for billions of
dollars in U.S. govt aid organized by Joe Biden as Vice
President of the U.S. Although, the mainstream media
wants the public to believe the Bidens “did nothing
wrong.” The truth of the matter is Hunter Biden
blatantly used his father’s position of power as Vice
President for his own financial gain in both Ukraine and
China. In Ukraine alone, Hunter Biden was paid half a
million dollars a year for a job he never showed up to,
where he had no experience and couldn’t even speak the
language, several red flags. Hunter, a Yale-educated
lawyer, had previously served on the boards of Amtrak
and a number of nonprofit organizations and think tanks,
but lacked any experience in Ukraine. As a fun fact, to
make his case worse, just months earlier he had
been discharged from the Navy
Reserve after testing positive for cocaine.
Hunter was paid as much as $50,000 per month in some
months for his work for Burisma Holdings, which largely
remains unknown. In 2014, Hunter Biden is seen golfing
in the Hamptons with his father and Devon Archer, who
served on the board of the Ukrainian natural gas company
Burisma Holdings with Hunter, FOX News reported. Viktor
Shokin was widely accused of corruption himself and then
booted from his office in April 2016. Shokin was accused
of blocking major cases against allies and influential
figures. In March 2016, Biden, as Vice President, had
threatened to cut off $1 billion in guaranteed loans
unless Ukraine ditched Shokin; one month later the
country complied with the demand. However, at the same
time, Biden had protected his son under investigation by
leveraging U.S. aid to Ukraine in exchange for firing
the Ukrainian former prosecutor, which could be seen as
a conflict of interest. However, Bloomberg disputes
this claiming that the
prosecution of Hunter Biden’s client had already been
shelved at the time Joe Biden was calling for the
prosecutor to be removed. Investigations into such
activities by Hunter are well documented, ironically, by
the mainstream press that is now attacking Trump for
asking the Ukrainian president to investigate Hunter and
his father for corruption; a totally warranted
investigation, given that Hunter’s father himself
confessed that he told Ukraine to “fire the prosecutor
or essentially, I am walking away with a billion dollar
loan.” This writer is no legal expert, but that sounds a
lot like quid pro quo activity.

4 NewsWars..the ...whistleblower,
reported by investigative reporter Paul Sperry to be
Eric Ciaramella (EC) (via
RedState’s Elizabeth Vaughn, emphasis ours): He
submitted a whistleblower complaint on August 12th. He
is a registered Democrat. He is a CIA analyst who
specializes in Russia and Ukraine. He ran the Ukraine
desk at the National Security Council (NSC) in 2016. He
was detailed over to the NSC in the summer of 2015 and
worked for then-National Security Adviser Susan Rice. He
worked for former Vice President Joe Biden when he
served as the Obama administration’s “point man” for
Ukraine. He may have flown over to Ukraine with Biden on
Air Force Two. He worked for former CIA Director John
Brennan and appeared to have been a highly valued
employee. In June 2017, then-National Security Advisor
H. R. McMaster appointed EC to be his personal
aide....EC did not have direct knowledge of the July
25th conversation between President Trump and Ukrainian
President Volodymyr Zelensky. It is very possible he
learned about the call from NSC Director for European
Affairs Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who testified last
week before Adam Schiff’s House Intelligence Committee.
EC contacted at least one of Schiff’s staff members
prior to filing his complaint. Two of EC’s colleagues
from the NSC were hired by Adam Schiff this year, one of
whom, Sean Misko, was hired in August. He was posted to
the NSC in the White House’s West Wing in mid-2017 and
“left amid concerns about negative leaks to the media.
He has since returned to CIA headquarters in Langley,
Virginia.” EC worked with hyper-partisan
Ukrainian-American lawyer and activist Alexandra Chalupa
in 2016 to dig up dirt on Trump. (Chalupa’s name will
become very familiar as this scandal unravels.) The
pro-Hillary Chalupa, a former DNC contractor, has worked
in the Clinton administration and has held various staff
positions for Democratic lawmakers. Sperry wrote:
“Documents confirm the DNC opposition researcher
attended at least one White House meeting with
Ciaramella in November 2015. She visited the White House
with a number of Ukrainian officials lobbying the Obama
administration for aid for Ukraine.” ...Sperry reported
that “federal records show Biden’s office invited
Ciaramella to an October 2016 state luncheon the vice
president hosted for Italian Prime Minister Matteo
Renzi. Other invited guests included Brennan, as well as
then-FBI Director James Comey and then-National
Intelligence Director James Clapper. (Sperry: Several
U.S. officials told RCI that the invitation that was
extended to Ciaramella, a relatively low-level GS-13
federal employee, was unusual and signaled he was
politically connected inside the Obama White House.)
–RedState And now he won’t testify, while another
witness in the case, Alex Vindman (likely Ciaramella’s
source), had to be reprimanded by his superior officer
for “inappropriate and partisan behavior in the
military.”

- 2019 ClevelandScene ...summarized....How
Jewish Ukrainian Oligarchs Secretly Became the Largest
Real Estate Owners in Downtown Cleveland ....
In Delaware, attorneys for a major Ukrainian bank
alleged that two oligarchs (Igor Kolomoisky and Gennadiy
Bogolyubov) who founded the (PrivatBank) bank and
controlled it from 2006 to 2016 laundered hundreds of
millions of dollars in fraudulent corporate loans to
purchase assets in the United States (much of downtown
Cleveland) and unjustly enrich themselves and their
associates. ... Dubbed the "Optima Schemes" in the
104-page document, these "brazen fraudulent schemes"
were successful, among other things, in making the
oligarchs and their co-defendants the largest commercial
real estate holders in Cleveland. ... Bogolyubov doled
out corporate loans to shell companies that they
controlled ... Those loans were then laundered in
multiple digital transactions, sent through dozens of
other shell companies that had been created exclusively
for the purpose of laundering. These accounts were
managed by co-conspirators at PrivatBank's branch in
Cyprus. The true origin of the money thus concealed,
funds were then shipped to LLCs in Delaware (hence the
legal filing there). Those LLCs — "One Cleveland Center,
LLC," to take just one example — were used to acquire
properties and metalworking facilities in the U.S.
Kolomoisky and Bogolyubov are mineral magnates and own
mining factories and metalworking plants in Ukraine. ...
The men on the ground in the United States, according to
the complaint, were a Miami-based trio: Mordechai
"Motti" Korf, his brother-in-law Chaim Schochet, and
Uriel Laber. These three men managed the "Optima"
companies: Optima International, Optima Ventures and
Optima Acquisitions, all of which were created and
ultimately controlled by Kolomoisky and Bogolyubov. ...
In December 2016, the Ukrainian state was forced to
nationalize PrivatBank as a result of the oligarchs'
conduct. The state injected more than $5.5 billion into
the bank to prevent its collapse, and "preserve the
stability of the [Ukrainian] financial system." In 2018,
the bank reverted to private ownership. ... Filed on
behalf of the current PrivatBank shareholders, the
Delaware complaint seeks damages which could include all
of Optima's U.S. assets. Those include properties in
Dallas and Louisville and metallurgical assets in
addition to the Cleveland portfolio. Among the
metallurgical assets that Optima Acquisitions acquired
was a steelmaking plant in Warren, Ohio, called Warren
Steel Holdings LLC. Warren Steel shuttered permanently
in 2016 and laid off 162 workers due to "unforeseeable
business circumstances." Kolomoisky and Bogolyubov are
now back in Ukraine after having fled from their
residences in Switzerland to Israel in 2018. Both
oligarchs reportedly have Ukrainian, Israeli and Cypriot
citizenship. ... The Daily Beast reported in April that
Kolomoisky is under FBI investigation and that the U.S.
Attorney's Office in the Northern District of Ohio was
involved in a wide-ranging probe. Kolomoisky's lawyer
said that his client "categorically denied" laundering
any money into the United States. Kolomoisky has
reportedly returned to Ukraine, however, with the tacit
protection of new president Volodymyr Zelenskiy, a
comedian who played the Ukrainian President on the TV
show Servant of the People (now streaming on Netflix).

Nov ADL....About
one in four Europeans polled harbor pernicious and
pervasive attitudes toward Jews, according to a
new global survey on anti-Semitism commissioned by ADL
(the Anti-Defamation League). While anti-Semitic
attitudes held mostly steady in Western Europe, the poll
found hateful notions about Jews are rising in Eastern
and Central European countries polled, where long-held
tropes about Jewish control of business and finance and
of “dual loyalty” remain widespread.

May 22...NewsPunch...The
story of Joe Biden’s effort to force the firing of
Ukraine’s chief prosecutor, who was investigating
Burisma Holdings, has taken a new twist in Kiev, just as
Biden is sewing up the 2020 Democratic presidential
nomination in America. In Kiev late last month, District
Court Judge S. V. Vovk ordered the country’s law
enforcement services to formally list the fired
prosecutor, Victor Shokin, as the victim of an alleged
crime by the former U.S. vice president, according to an
official English translation of the ruling.

‘Biden-Poroshenko’ Tapes Revealed By Ukrainian MP Who Claims
Burisma Paid Biden’s Son ‘Protection Money’ ...
A Ukrainian lawmaker has revealed what appears to be
recordings of old phone calls between VP Joe Biden and
former Ukraine’s president Petro Poroshenko. The new
tapes have reportedly been handed over to the
prosecutor-general’s office. At the same time documents
have surfaced which show how much Biden’s son Hunter was
paid by Burisma, the gas company desperate to avoid
prosecution. RT reports:
Ledgers show payments of $3.4 million from Burisma to
Rosemont Seneca Bohai, the company co-founded by Hunter
Biden, for “consulting services,” former prosecutor
Konstantin Kulyk and Ukrainian MP Andrii Derkach
revealed on Monday in Kiev. Kulyk added that these
services clearly amounted to “political protection of
Burisma” and its owner Mykola Zlochevsky by US vice
president at the time, Joe Biden. Kulyk also told
reporters that his office had evidence of Burisma’s
lawyers offering $50 million to the government to make
the case against the company and its founder go away –
and not $6 million as was reported earlier. The reason
Burisma’s activities stood out from the white noise of
general corruption in Ukraine following the US-backed
coup in 2014 is that Zlochevsky sought to shield himself
from scrutiny by hiring Hunter Biden as a board member,
for a reported salary of $50,000 a month. Biden had no
qualifications for the job, other than his father being
the top US official in charge of Ukraine.

For the last 75 years, Eastern Europe and much of
Western Europe has relied on a constant flow of cheap
hydrocarbon fuel from Russia, which has made huge
efforts to guarantee the reliability of this supply. For
most of the time Eastern Europe received this energy
practically free. In Western Europe, reliable Russian
natural gas supplies have enabled the phasing out of
high-CO2 coal, and even of nuclear energy. In Ukraine
and the rest of the Soviet Union, gas replaced firewood.
This enabled urbanization and turning most land over to
agriculture. Pindostan has done everything possible to
try to disrupt or stop this energy flow. In the early
1980s, sanctions were imposed on West European companies
involved in the construction of the Trans-Siberian
Pipeline that now passes through Ukraine. Recent
achievements include blocking South Stream and delaying
Nord Stream 2. Pindo propaganda speaks of “European
energy dependence on Russia” and “Gazprom’s gas
monopoly.” The alternative demanded by Pindostan was to
build enormously expensive LNG terminals and import
bottled Pindo LNG which would be produced by fracking.
The main geopolitical aim of the Maidan coup was to
disrupt the gas flow on the trans-Ukrainian pipelines.
Simply blowing up the pipelines was not possible, as
Ukraine was dependent on Russian gas imports, but making
Ukraine self-sufficient on energy, even temporarily,
would enable Pindostan to dismantle the gas pipelines.
The solution to fast but unstable gas supplies is
fracking. Fracked oil and gas wells produce most of
their output in the first year and quickly run out but
leave permanent damage to the environment. Burisma was
the gas company chosen for the implementation of the
fracking plan. Biden’s son Hunter was placed on the
board, not as a form of bribery but because of the
importance of this geopolitical project. The largest gas
reserves in Ukraine for fracking are in the east, in the
fully Russian parts of the Ukraine. A central point of
the fracking operation was to be Slavyansk, in the
former Donetsk Oblast. Fear of fracking played a major
part in the opposition to the Maidan coup in Kiev. The
armed uprising against the new rulers started in
Slavyansk on Apr 8 2014. By May 2014, the DNR had been
established in a referendum. Quotes from three articles:

Aug 24..DCClothesLine ....Antifa
was imported to America from Europe by the Obama-Biden
administration to forge
domestic terrorism alliance with BLM, new report alleges
... Americans tired of big city violence..but
....protests were summarily hijacked by Left-wing
Marxist anarchists who couldn’t care less about George
Floyd. It’s become obvious by now that two groups are
primarily responsible for the violence, looting, theft
and destruction — as well as the hare-brained “defund
the police” movement — that is roiling through our
biggest cities: Antifa and Black Lives Matter. Well, it
turns out that this mayhem not only isn’t random, but it
was planned in advance, and the Obama-Biden
administration had a huge hand in it. And wouldn’t you
know it — Ukraine plays a big role in all of
this...Investigative journalist George Eliason, an
American who is currently living in Ukraine, has
connected a lot of dots implicating the previous
administration in a sinister plot to disrupt the civil
society in America and not only drive President Donald
Trump from office, but also usher in a form of
government...Eliason says that Antifa terrorists were
trained by real terrorists in Syria —
part of a Kurd-led Neo-Marxist force. He went on to say
that because Antifa is “part of an insurgency ground
force with provable foreign government representation
and foreign insurgents from terrorist groups,” they
can’t be covered under the Geneva Conventions.
(Related: United Nations sides with
Antifa terrorists, setting stage for UN invasion of
America when Antifa backlash begins.) ... After a
thorough analysis of Antifa’s official website, Eliason
identified Ben Utzer, who Eliason describes as “Antifa’s
German Pirate Party chubby, never miss a meal, pasty
white leader of the boots on the ground Obama-Biden
Antifa-BLM insurrection.” “Utzer is the German directing
the traffic for American Antifa seditionists willing to
murder and destroying their own cities for a foreign
hacker-politico who owns a little security company and
loves dogs,” he wrote.

Russians Involved in the Russia Collusion Scam Were
Never Investigated – Is This
Due to Their Connections with the UK and Ukraine? ..On
June 30, 2019, we reported that Ilya
Zaslavskiy was likely one of
the ‘Russians’ used as a source in the Steele
dossier. see Chatham
House .... We made this
assertion based on the following: ... 1. He hobnobs with
British royalty and senior UK politicians 2. He has been
with the Chatham House for several years (these first
two items indicate connections to MI6) 3. The UK
government paid for his education, travel, housing, in
and advanced degrees 4. He is Natalia Budaeva’s old
associate and worked with her through 2016 on a number
of political activities in the US. 5. Between 2013 and
2019 he generated over 1300 intelligence reports about
Russia for MI6 and State. 6. In 2016 he regularly
provided MI6 with field reports from the US that were
collected by the anti-Trump alliance of Ukrainian and
several anti-Putin NGOs and other political organization
including Chalupa’s action groups. 7. He was in the US
from June to November 2016 on a tour to heavily prompt
the dossier. While here, he had a number of interviews
with MSM that were dedicated to Trump’s collusion with
Russia ... Zaslavskiy is
a Russian from the UK that came over to the US in late
2016 and was with the help of Natalia Arno (the
president of the Free
Russia Foundation) promoting the Russian collusion
narrative with some of the leading politicians in
Washington, D.C. and sharing with the media
“Compromising materials on Trump and relations with the
Kremlin”. ... We know that Zaslavskiy was at Voice of
America and he talked about Trump – Russia collusion a
few days before the 2016 election. He then bragged
about it on the social media: ... Yaacov
Apelbaum has provided the following
composites that show the many connections between
Zaslavskiy and the Brits as well as American
anti-Trumpers and elites. He was with the British
Royalty which shows the British trusted him to some
extent: ... His colleague Natalia Budaeva at the Free
Russia Foundation was also around numerous US Senators:
... But the connections do not stop there.
Zaslavskiy was also present at numerous gatherings
before the 2016 election with other notorious
Never-Trumpers and Russia collusion operatives. In
April 2016 he was at an Atlantic Council event with Deep
Stater David
Kramer from Russia collusion
fame. He also was with Kramer at a Hudson
Institute event in May 2016: ... In March and November
2016, Zaslavskiy was at other Atlantic Council events
where Kramer also participated. Kramer was also
present at the Ukraine Embassy, this time will Bill
Taylor from fake Ukraine impeachment fame: ... We also
note some unique pictures from Zaslavskiy’s friend at
the Free
Russia Foundation, that were taken only a few
days after the infamous Trump Tower meeting with Donald
Trump Jr in June 2016. A few days after that
event, two participants who were also at the Trump Tower
meeting, Natalia Veselnitskaya and Rinat Akmetshin, were
photographed by Natilia Budaeva at an event in
D.C. Why did Budaeva take these pictures and post
to her social media? ACUkraine (AC stands for Atlantic

Consortium News ...
U.S. corporate media spent years dismissing the role
of neo-Nazis in Ukraine’s 2014 coup but it is suddenly
going through a conversion, as Daniel Lazare reports.
Last month a freelance journalist named Joshua Cohen
published an article in The Washington Post about the
Ukraine’s growing neoNazi threat. Despite a gratuitous
swipe at Russia for allegedly exaggerating the problem
(which it hasn’t), the piece was fairly accurate.
Entitled “Ukraine’s ultra-right militias are
challenging the government to a showdown,” it said
that fascists have gone on a rampage while the ruling
clique in Kiev closes its eyes for the most part and
prays that the problem somehow goes away on its own.
Thus,
a group calling itself C14 (for the fourteen-word
ultra-right motto, “We must secure the existence of
our people and a future for white children”) not only
beat up a socialist politician and celebrated Hitler’s
birthday by stabbing an antiwar activist, but bragged
about it on its website. Other ultranationalists,
Cohen says, have stormed the Lvov and Kiev city
councils and “assaulted or disrupted” art exhibits,
anti-fascist demos, peace and gay-rights events, and a
Victory Day parade commemorating the victory over
Hitler in 1945. Yet nothing has happened to stop this.
President Petro Poroshenko could order a crackdown,
but hasn’t for reasons that should be obvious. The
U.S.-backed “Euromaidan” uprising not only drove out
former president Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014,
who had won an OSCE-certified election, but tore the
country in two, precisely because ultra-rightists like
C14 were in the lead. When resistance to the
U.S.-backed coup broke out in Crimea and parts of the
country’s largely Russian-speaking east, the base of
Yanukovych voters, civil war ensued. But because the
Ukrainian army had all but collapsed, the new, coup
government had no one to rely on other than the
neo-fascists who had helped propel it to power. So an
alliance was hatched between pro-western oligarchs at
the top – Forbes puts Poroshenko’s net worth at a cool
$1 billion – and neo-Nazi enforcers at the bottom.
Fascists may not be popular.

Biden’s Computer Camera Roll
Turned Over to Bannon and Giuliani Contains 25,000
Images With Sexually
Explicit Selfies and Porn ...
Earlier this week The
New York Post released shocking
emails that prove Hunter Biden introduced his father,
then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at the
Burisma Ukrainian energy firm. This was a year before
the elder Biden pressured government officials in
Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating
the company. Hunter Biden left his laptop at a computer
shop and then neglected to pick it up after several
calls. The owner of the computer repair company handed
over Hunter’s laptop to the FBI last December. The FBI
hid this evidence from congress and the executive branch
during the Pelosi impeachment hearings. But before the
computer store owner, John Paul Mac Isaac, turned over
the computer to the FBI he first downloaded much of its
contents. He later gave this information to Rudy
Giuliani’s attorney who then worked with Steve Bannon to
deliver the information to the New York Post.

the prosecutor was corrupt but because the Bidens were

removed in Ukraine: ... The email from Burisma leaders

from Burisma to get rid of any cases involving Burisma
in Ukraine courts – and that’s what they did.
