You happen to have a source for that? I have heard that before but no one has been able to back it up.

The source is SBF himself, in an interview with Tiffany Fong (covered by Coffeezilla):

He said he donated about the same to both parties, with the Republican donations hidden as dark money.

Coffeezilla also points out that SBF is consistently lying about almost everything, and there is no evidence to support this claim beyond "this is what he says".

I'm not saying he did or didn't, just that the source is ehhhhh.

Yeah I’d want to see some receipts before believing anything SBF says, especially if he thinks it is something that by saying may remove some heat from him or his friends.

> He said he donated about the same to both parties, with the Republican donations hidden as dark money.

And he allegedly did so that he could get credit for supporting Democrats, which is incredibly cynical and undermines his "innocent kid in over his head" story.
