Reply to comment by mattyblaze420 in I'm Phil Rosen, a senior reporter at Insider. I've been covering the FTX collapse and its impact on the broader market - AMA! by BusinessInsider

Good question. FTX had their investments in an extremely broad and diverse range of companies, and they (meaning SBF) also had deep ties across Washington DC's political landscape, on both sides of the aisle.

SBF has said that he made millions of dollars in donations to the Republican party using "dark money" pathways, and it's possible those funds won't be something that can be tracked down.

As far as FTX influencing US markets via financial crimes, I haven't seen much about that, but at this point nothing would surprise me. There's been new reporting coming out on almost a daily basis for months now. -PR

Thanks for the reply. Seems everywhere we look something stinks. I’m hopeful some investigation can be done into these Tokenized stocks FTX created. Come to find out they are not backed 1:1 like FTX/SBF said (more lies; shocker I know). This claim may have left the door open for these tokenized stocks to be accessible for reasonable locates for hedge/money funds needing to meet lending obligations.
