Democrats are masters of sweeping their scandals under the rug.
Now there’s jaw-dropping proof that their biggest crooks, cons and abusers help each other out.
Because Epstein enabler Ghislaine Maxwell just helped pull some big strings in the court proceedings of alleged Democrat fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried.
Democrat mega donor Sam Bankman-Fried has become a massive headache for the Left.
He was incredibly cozy with high-profile left-wing figures, and he was the second largest Democrat donor during the 2022 election cycle.
Democrats were reluctant to investigate him in light of his cryptocurrency exchange FTX being exposed as a fraudulent company.
Officials in the Bahamas were finally pressured to expedite him to the United States to face legal action.
Democrat fraudster asked a judge to keep the names of his bail benefactors secret
Bankman-Fried’s bail was set at $250 million, which was posted by his parents (who used their home as collateral) and two secret benefactors.
And Bankman-Fried is desperate to keep their identities a secret.
Bloomberg News reported that “FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried asked a judge to keep confidential the identities of two people who will help secure his bail to protect them from public scrutiny and potential harassment. Lawyers for Bankman-Fried on Tuesday filed a letter seeking redactions of the names of the two people who intend to sign on as sureties to his $250 million bail package, saying there is no need for public disclosure. Courts frequently require sureties to sign onto significant bail packages to ensure a defendant’s appearances in court. Defense lawyers sometimes seek to mask the identities of the sureties to protect them from public scrutiny.”
Bankman-Fried is currently lounging at his parents’ multi-million-dollar home in Palo Alto, California as he awaits trial for massive financial crimes.
Bankman-Fried’s lawyers wrote to the judge, “If the two remaining sureties are publicly identified, they will likely be subjected to probing media scrutiny, and potentially targeted for harassment, despite having no substantive connection to the case…Consequently, the privacy and safety of the sureties are ‘countervailing factors’ that significantly outweigh the presumption of public access to the very limited information at issue.”
The judge—federal District Judge Lewis Kaplan— apparently agreed, granting the request.
Bankman-Fried’s previous friends cannot run away from him fast enough.
Congresswoman Maxine Waters literally blew him a kiss after he testified before the House Financial Services Committee.
Federal Judge likely relied on precedent from Ghislaine Maxwell case
But while they’re desperate to put as much distance between major left-wing figures and Bankman-Fried as possible, it’s the biggest, living, figure in another Democrat scandal who helped ensure that Democrat Party elites’ names don’t pop up in court.
According to a report from Reuters news agency, Bankman-Fried’s request to hide his bail backers came from precedent set in Ghislaine Maxwell’s case.
Reuters wrote:
“In 2020, after Maxwell was charged in Manhattan federal court with recruiting teenaged sex partners for disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, her lawyers at Cohen & Gresser asked U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan of Manhattan to seal parts of her proposed bail package, including identifying information about the people who had agreed to act as sureties.”
The Bankman-Fried attorneys’ request isn’t surprising considering his counsel comes from the same firm—Cohen & Gresser—which represented Maxwell.
Bankman-Fried had his mitts all over Democrat politics.
He even admitted that he and other elites just parrot the “woke shibboleths” in order to be deemed good people.
Democrats are desperate for the Bankman-Fried story to end with him.
Financial malfeasance crimes tend to terrify the Washington, D.C. Swamp more than anything.
