Sam Bankman-Fried Had At Least Four Meetings With White House Officials
Disgraced former crypto billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried reportedly held at least four meetings with senior Biden administration officials before he was indicted.
Bankman-Fried met with Senior White House Adviser Steve Richetti on three occasions and Deputy Chief of Staff Bruce Reed once, Bloomberg reported Thursday. The most recent meeting with Richetti was Sept. 8 2022, according to Bloomberg.
Bankman-Fried donated $39 million to Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections, making him the party’s second largest donor behind George Soros, according to campaign finance watchdog OpenSecrets.
He also donated $5 million to President Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign Super PAC Future Forward USA, records show. He gave $50,000 to the Biden Victory Fund and $2,800 to the Biden campaign in October 2020, records show. It’s unclear if Biden will return Bankman-Fried’s donations in the wake of his indictment.
