Governments are full of controversy. There are left and right corruptions, and etc.. so the above scenario is very possible to happen. Donating is not illegal of course but there is a big possibility that what he used as a donation is not the money of his own but it was the money of the people who trusted him. That was wrong in any angle but if scenarios like that are common in the US then that's bad for their reputation. I even thought US is a good place but I was wrong.

Before the FTX tragedy happened, there was terra but before them, I think there is already a bear market that time but these negative events that we are experiencing are making the bear market worse.

Difference to other corruption scandals is that everyone is watching this. In fact so many that there will most likely be a movie about this as this is so surreal, add polyamory to the mix and it sells. And what i mean by this is that corruption happens in shadows. These people don't want their connections to be known or their faces seen in that context.

Compared to FTX where everything is out in the open. Donations were public knowledge and therefore connections are clear. Someone connected donations doesn't owe Sam a thing. And it's not like they would get more money from him if he would get less charges. Sam is going to be broke. Money flow is off and under a magnifying glass from that direction. If someone tried to pull some strings for him now he/she would risk their whole career if caught on doing that.

So WHY would they help him?
