So@SBF_FTX was an @MIT grad, where @carolinecapital’s dad worked
And @carolinecapital was a @Stanford grad, where @SBF_FTX’s mom & dad worked
Caroline’s advice for college is: “classes don’t matter that much, friends & networking are really important” https://t.co/INK3M0clUQ pic.twitter.com/80TKgMu3aq

Back to the connections…@SBF_FTX’s brother, Gabe Bankman-Fried (also a former Jane Street trader), is founder of “Guarding Against Pandemics”
He was a Legislative Correspondent for the US House of Representatives and an advisor to large political donors in the Democrat party. pic.twitter.com/UDoaG6jx4p

Roommates of @SBF_FTX consisted of 9 friends and former co-workers. Many from @JaneStreetGroup & some from @MIT.
They were all involved in a web of romantic relationships.
It starting to sound like an FTX-funded meth orgy was happening in the Bahamas…https://t.co/2mEws5p1hZ pic.twitter.com/1xPNEm2d7d

In this @CNBC article from earlier this year, @SBF_FTX says he could spend upwards of $1 billion on the 2024 election.
It’s looking more likely there was a serious money laundering op going on, sending $$$ from FTX to Democrats under the guise of altruismhttps://t.co/NPuygWH0Pc pic.twitter.com/eX4TZFkhun

One thing @SBF_FTX liked even more than donating, was spending money on marketing sponsorships
The goal was to rope in as many retail investors as possible using pro sports & star athletes
An estimated ~$30M was spent on a Super Bowl ad with Larry David https://t.co/1XmniEJnBC pic.twitter.com/GtMvWDEAvK

Just yesterday, @SBF_FTX made a tweet claiming FTX US was un-effected by the fiasco and is 100% liquid.
