Sam is a liar, that much is a widely documented fact. That much is known. Your numbers are incomplete and misleading. We somehow know both SBF and Ryan Salame's personal donations, and he claims dark money went to Republicans but how much dark money went to Democrats? 0? What about the other staffers at FTX? SBF has appeared in public with Maxine Waters and Bill Clinton. His own mother is a major Silicon Valley booster for the Democrats [1]. You telling me no money made it to his own mother's Democrat PAC? Sam's public claims are not reliable. He is a pathological liar. He manipulated his own accounting books to make his company appear solvent for fundraising purposes. You cannot trust the damage control PR of a pathological liar.

I would tend to believe him on the Republican dark money. Sam needs all the help he can get right now. It makes sense to make these donations public knowledge. Plus, in the legalized bribery known as campaign donations, it makes sense to donate to both sides. Most companies which do political donations make donations to both. A few very ideological execs will only donate to this side or that, but Sam doesn't strike me as one of those.
Maybe I'm wrong. But I doubt it. The winning move is to donate to both sides. If the Republicans received zero from Sam, they'd have every reason to reveal this to the world. To hurt Democrats and punish the guy who gave them nothing. But the Republicans aren't doing this. Silence to me is evidence that Sam gave at least part of what he claimed.
As for the numbers we don't know, I'm not making any claims. Maybe a billion went to Democratic PACs. Maybe nothing did. Who knows? It's worthless making assessments on this until further evidence comes out.
