Wrong SBF gave money to both parties but mainly the Democrats:

SBF was No. 2 donor to Democrats

"Mr. Bankman-Fried was the No. 2 overall top donor to Democrats in the election cycle, only behind George Soros, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Mr. Salame was the No. 11 overall donor to Republicans."

Sam Bankman-Fried says he donated just as many millions to Republicans as Democrats, but didnt publicize it because reporters would freak the fk out
All my Republican donations were dark. The reason was not for regulatory reasons, its because reporters freak the fuck out if you donate to Republicans. Theyre all super liberal, and I didnt want to have that fight.

Sam Bankman-Frieds FTX Collapse Touches Ukraine, the World Economic Forum, Silicon Valley and Both Sides of D.C.

"Sam Bankman-Fried is a name youre going to hear a lot about over the next year and rightly so. The implosion of his cryptocurrency empire is like if Enron and Bernie Madoff had a baby, and that baby became the 2nd largest Democratic Party donor on his 2nd birthday while partnering with the World Economic Forum and the Bank of Ukraine."

"According to reporting from Coin Desk, the Ukrainian government partnered with FTX to help convert cryptocurrency donations into arms and war supplies. According to some estimates, between FTX and the National Bank of Ukraine facilitated the flow of up to $100 million worth of bitcoin and cryptocurrency for the war effort."

"A press release on the Aid to Ukraine efforts reads:

The official website for Aid For Ukraine, an initiative that raises funds from the crypto community for the benefit of Ukraines military and humanitarian needs, has officially launched. The initiative is powered by the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, FTX, and Everstake. This is the first instance of a cryptocurrency exchange providing a conduit for crypto donations to a public financial institution."

Other than the $25 FTX credit for Ukrainian FTX users, all they did was help converting crypto to fiat. There was no laundering because Ukraine never sent anything back. Everything that was donated to the addresses shared by government officials were converted to fiat and deposited directly into Ukraines National Bank. Also, FTX was only involved for about a month in March/April and was only involved in exchanging a couple million of the couple hundred million. It's just a stupid conspiracy theory from idiots who love to make connections that don't exist but help confirm their bias.
