Sam is claiming he himself also donated to Republicans [this video] His claim is he donated through dark money via Citizens United in order to avoid media attention for donating to Republicans. But I’m at the point where I believe nothing coming out of his mouth.

There's another part of the interview where SBF says he donated about the same to Democrats and Republicans, contrary to the public record. [this video] He knew that Democrat donations would be treated favorably so those were made publicly, while Republican donations would get bad press. He made those in the dark because he still wanted to influence both parties.

"In interviews, he talked a stream of nonsense tailored to snowjob outsiders about an industry that's already full of jargon and complicated tech." He is still talking. For example, 16 Nov 2022 [this video] (Sounds like he is in the bathtub.) 20 Nov 2022 [another to be published phone call with the YouTuber above] 30 Nov 2022 [LINK] [LINK] Internet discussion seems to center on criminal charges but there will be numerous civil suits first. Poetic justice would be if he has to ask his parents for money. Every time he opens his mouth, plaintiffs lawyers are listening.

From his interview with NYT on Nov. 14[1]: > Shortly before the interview, Mr. Bankman-Fried had posted a cryptic tweet: the word “What.” Then he had tweeted the letter H. Asked to explain, Mr. Bankman-Fried said he planned to post the letter A and then the letter P. “It’s going to be more than one word,” he said. “I’m making it up as I go.” > So he was planning a series of cryptic tweets? “Something like that.” > But why? “I don’t know,” he said. “I’m improvising. I think it’s time.” I think he's still winging it, and that he's taken it in a pretty weird direction. I think he's trying to pull off some sort of hail-mary. In the Tiffany Fong interview [2], it seemed like he was trying to manu

Hmm so "testimony" is a bit firm, maybe it's referring to something I haven't seen yet but I read that as referring to the backdoor: [this video] If it is the backdoor, then to be honest his own statements on it make him look more guilty of it than anything else. Here's a transcript from that interview: Tiffany Fong: There was something about a backdoor that allowed you to execute commands that could alter the companies financial records without alerting others. That this was put in place, I think that was a Reuters article which made it seem like you secretly were moving money in the background. SBF: Wait and this is something that I would be doing? TF: It kind of said that SBF put like a secret
