Sam Bankman-Fried Tried To Pay Trump $5 Billion Not To Run For President
As if Trump could be bribed
Sam Bankman-Fried purportedly considered paying former President Donald Trump upwards of $5 billion not to run for a second term, according to a new book exploring the rise and fall of the disgraced FTX founder.Author Michael Lewis sat with 60 Minutes to unveil revelations from “Going Infinite,” his deep dive into the world of cryptocurrency and Bankman-Fried’s role in swindling investors out of billions of dollars as he rubbed shoulders with some of the world’s richest individuals and most powerful politicians. Lewis’s book was released Tuesday, the same day that SBF’s trial began in which he faces up to 100 years in prison.
Earlier this summer the Justice Department agreed to drop charges against SBF related to campaign finance fraud as part of an extradition treaty between the U.S. and the Bahamas where he was staying at the time of his arrest. Bankman-Fried, who has personally given millions of dollars to Democratic politicians and causes, including the 2020 campaign for President Joe Biden, is still charged with seven counts related to wire fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering.
