ChainCatcher reports that former CEO of bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), posted a series of tweets criticizing the Biden administration’s policies toward the cryptocurrency industry. SBF stated, “Biden screwed up cryptocurrency,” and accused Biden of choosing Gary Gensler to lead the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
In his tweets, SBF questioned, “When the Department of Justice told me I committed campaign finance fraud for donations to the Republican Party, I asked, how is that possible?” He also said, “All the world leaders I’ve met are tired of Biden. The Democrats may control the mainstream media, but they can’t control the truth.”
SBF praised Trump: “Fortunately, Trump pardoned those falsely accused by drug traffickers and framed by Biden, and arrested a real drug dictator. Arresting Maduro was wise, brave, and supportive of democracy.”
