Citadel founder and CEO Ken Griffin called the collapse of FTX a “travesty” and called out its founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, for his bizarre connections to the Democrats.
“You know, on the balance sheet at FTX there’s a line that says ‘Trump Lose,'” Griffin said during an interview at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum on Tuesday. “And Sam was the second biggest donor of the Democratic candidates.” Griffin let his statement hang in the air, prompting the interviewer to ask the audience to draw their own conclusions.

FTX, a cryptocurrency exchange, was valued into the high billions in early November before a federal investigation was launched into the organization. Bankman-Fried stands accused of moving $10 billion in his client’s assets from the platform to his trading firm, Alameda Research, which then hit a liquidity crisis that forced FTX to file for bankruptcy.
“Those are really, really, ugly facts when you see a fraud of this nature having played and you find no regulators were there to prevent it. That’s a really, really tough story,” Griffin concluded in the clip. (RELATED: Globalist Org Run By Renowned Bond Villain Cosplayer Scrubs FTX Page From Its Website)
Griffin also used his time at the forum to urge former President Donald Trump to “see the writing on the wall” and not run for office in 2024. He added that he hopes the party will pave the way for Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis to run in two years.
