> Madoff

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...
