My tinfoil hat started tingling, so let's take a closer look at Sam Bankman-Fried (CEO of #FTX) and Caroline Ellison (CEO of #AlamedaResearch).

Sam's father, Joseph Bankman, is a lawyer and Professor of Law and Business at Stanford Law School.

Sam's mother, Barbara Fried, is also a lawyer and William W. and Gertrude H. Saunders Professor of Law at Stanford Law School.

She also started one of the largest super PACs that funnel money from Silicon Valley to Democrats.

Interestingly, Sam #SBF_FTX was the second largest individual donor to Democrats, only behind George Soros. Now where did he get all that money?

If that's not interesting enough #CarolineEllison's father, Glenn Ellison, used to work with none other than @SECGov's fearless leader, @GaryGensler.

I know none of this is brand new information, but I wanted to research it for myself and catalog it for future reference. Enjoy.

And now they're running away with the funds. Or other "insider" is taking them.
