Considering the fact that we now know that Maxine Waters got bamboozled by a 20something crypto bro, has your opinion of her being a competent regulator of the finance industry changed at all?

It’s fascinating when people think of politicians like sports teams and not public employees with a mandate of competence.

I think you misunderstood what my point was. Maxine Waters now looks foolish of course but at the time the OP was investing with FTX one would be perfectly excused for believing SBF’s stories, given the lent credibility.
