(Not The Bee) Okay, I was already planning on buying Michael Lewis’ new book, but now I’m even more excited. The book covers the FTX scandal as well as, apparently, Sam Bankman-Fried considering paying off Donald Trump to not run for reelection in 2020. Crazy what you can do with a heavily-inflated cryptocurrency at your hands.

FIVE BILLION DOLLARS!
That was offer according to Michael Lewis, author of The Big Short.
There’s no telling why Trump denied the offer, but it’s telling that this was even an option for the corrupt Bankman-Fried.
This whole FTX scandal is just fascinating, and we all knew there were politicians involved in the corruption. We just haven’t quite come to realize to what extent our political leaders were involved.
The fact that Bankman-Fried assumed he could buy Donald Trump tells me he was already buying other politicians. I’ll wait until the book comes out to make any serious allegations, but boy, oh boy, does this smell fishy.
