Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of the cryptocurrency exchange 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,” Semafor reports.
Bankman-Fried explained that he didn’t disclose the donations because “liberal” reporters would “freak the fuck out.”
He added: “I’ve been their third biggest Republican donor this year as well.”
And here’s the kicker: Bankman-Fried is also an investor in Semafor.
