TechFlow News, February 12: Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), former CEO of the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, posted a series of tweets on X criticizing the Biden administration’s policies toward the cryptocurrency industry. SBF stated, “Biden screwed up crypto,” and accused Biden of appointing Gary Gensler as Chair of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
In his tweets, SBF questioned: “When the U.S. Department of Justice told me that my donations to the Republican Party constituted campaign finance fraud, I asked how that could possibly be?” He also claimed: “Every world leader I’ve met is fed up with Biden. While Democrats may control traditional media, they cannot control the truth.”
SBF praised Trump: “Fortunately, Trump pardoned individuals framed by drug traffickers and Biden, and arrested a genuine drug dictator. Arresting Maduro is wise, courageous, and pro-democracy.”
