    Maybe Bankman-Fried and Madoff can have a cage match to determine who's the biggest, baddest financial scammer. BF has the age advantage, but Madoff's probably already buff from his prison workouts.
    Bankman-fried around 3.2 billion.
    Madoff 64.8 billion

    One was fairly brilliant, the other just had political support by funneling money to the Democratic party.

    I do not believe for a moment that the Department of Justice unintentionally fouled up extradition of the Democrats second largest donor.

    Few paragraphs from the article,it has more information though.

    “From at least in or about 2020, up to and including in or about November 2022, Ryan Salame, the defendant, engaged in multiple conspiracies to advance the interests of Samuel Bankman-Fried ... and the cryptocurrency companies Bankman-Fried founded and controlled — including FTX.com (“FTX”) and Alameda Research (“Alameda”) — through the operation of an unlawful money transmitting business and violations of the federal election law,” the charging document filed against Salame says.

    That document says that Salame, in a private message to a confidant, wrote that “the purpose of these bipartisan donations would be ‘to weed out anti crypto dems for pro crypto dems and anti crypto repubs for pro crypto repubs,’ and that donations would likely be routed through Salame ‘to weed out that republican side.’”

    Salame, who was released on a $1 million bond Thursday, faces a maximum possible sentence of 10 years in prison for the campaign finance violation and charge of operating an unlicensed money-transmitting business. His sentencing was scheduled for March 6 by Judge Lewis Kaplan in U.S. District Court in Manhattan.


    Meanwhile, SBF - who yesterday lost his appeal to get out of Brooklyn jail where they don't serve adderall or vegan food. and is set to go on trial Oct. 3 on wire fraud and securities fraud charges related to his alleged looting of billions of dollars in customer funds from FTX courtesy of endorsements from some of the highest profile politicians criminals in the country.
