    I hear it's Lehman Bros stuff or Maydoff, total con.

    Good thing about not having too much money, never bothered to 'get' crypto currency. Hard enough to hold onto the green stuff.

    No. Crypto-"billionaires" thought that they actually were smart rather than just in the right place at the right time.

    Celebrities are pretty much the same.

    What green stuff? That stuff we used to have called cash? It's a plastic card now.

    I have seen almost no reason to exchange dollars for crypto to buy the same damned thing.

    Do they have any actual evidence?

    Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Texas, led the letter with several of his GOP colleagues to Blinken, expressing their concerns about the potential investment of Ukraine military financial aid into FTX, whose founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, made significant donations to Democrats this midterm cycle.

    That's why they're asking the State Department and Blinken questions. That's how you get the evidence.

    "We sincerely hope the primary driver behind the billions in Congressional assistance to Ukraine was not Democrats attempting to keep themselves in power, and that none of the missing funds were used as a passthrough to avoid campaign finance laws or end up in Democrat pockets," the lawmakers wrote.

    If he burned the Dems they will. Evidence counts when it's them.

    Prediction? Goes nowhere. We'll find out how well stocked it was.

    Then why's this idiot running and turning his money into Bahama coinage?

    Honest question. I have no idea.

    I may be older than most. I may say things not everybody will like.
    But despite all of that. I will never lower myself to the level of Liars, Haters, Cheats, and Hypocrites.
