Straight From the Horse's.... Mouth
[Epoch via Bongino] FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried granted a rare interview with independent crypto journalist Tiffany Fong. In the conversation, the elusive founder addressed a number of controversies that have surrounded him over the past few weeks, including commingling client funds, relations with Ukraine, donations to the Democratic party, and more.

I donated about the same amount to both parties," Bankman-Fried told Fong when asked about his political donations.

The crypto exchange founder’s political donations have been widely publicized in recent weeks, with numerous outlets reporting that Bankman-Fried personally donated almost $40 million to Democratic candidates ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, outdone only by Democrat mega-donor George Soros.

"All my Republican donations were dark," he said, meaning that they weren’t disclosed publicly. "And the reason was not for regulatory reasons; it’s because reporters freak the [expletive] out if you donate to a Republican because they are all super liberal.
