Well this is part of what creates the conspiracy theory that some state actors were behind FTX. At the very least, the fact that SBF's mom was fixer for the Democrats, means he was likely Epstein level connected with political insiders.

More conspiratorily, while SBF's mom worked for a Democrat-aligned dark-money PAC, Sam Bankman-Fried himself is rumored to have donated more than a $100 million to Republican dark-money PACs during the general election, and multiple Republican sources confirm that a person in the crypto industry was their "white knight donor" for a number of Senate GOP campaigns.

Hope there was a future pardon promise in those handshakes...

Not sure if that rises to the level of sexual blackmail with minors but okay!
