Who do you figure can’t be allowed to get deposed and by whom? Madoff was politically well connected and it didn’t save him in the end. Donating money in one cycle will not save SBF. Your idea that Democratic electeds and regulators are consistently loyal (to anyone, including large one hit wonder donors) doesn’t square with my experience. If anything Dem politicos have an opportunity to show their independence by pursuing Senate hearings and similar public fora of investigation because they have nothing to lose going after this broke man. |

First, the Madoff Ponzi was an order of magnitude larger than FTX; large enough to actually matter to important institutions. Second, Madoff could be trusted not to name names and understood that no one really wanted him to and he would, therefore, not be asked to do so. Thus, he could be safely prosecuted. The chuckleheads of FTX are not made of the same material; no one knows what species of insects are under those rocks and no one wants to know.
And I didn't say anything about "Dems". According to this money got beamed to (R)s as well: https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/ftx-founder-sam-bankman...
