Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of the cryptocurrency exchange service FTX, revealed in a new interview that he donated "about the same amount of money" to both Democrats and Republicans, but that all his donations to Republicans was "dark money."
Bankman-Fried claimed he used a loophole in the Citizens United Supreme Court ruling. "All my Republic donations were dark," he said, adding that he didn't disclose them because "liberal" reporters would "freak the fuck out."
"I've been their third biggest Republican donor this year as well," he told Tiffany Fong in an interview released by YouTuber Coffeezilla on Tuesday.
