FTX just filed for bankruptcy and is collapsing.  Does that mean we don't have to look at that awful logo on the umpire's uniforms anymore?  Or is Chico's Bail Bonds Next? LOL

You forgot the part about giving more money to the Democratic party than anyone not named George Soros so I can influence laws that allow me to keep doing this. .

Can we combine all the FTX threads?

You're proposing a consolidated location for the interaction about non-existing item? Isn't that what got us into this in the first place?

That logo maybe gone but there will be another one to replace it. A portion of the money went to the Umpire's Union.

I hope it wasn't kept on FTX.

@Velho ... shut up and give me your money and I will give you these make believe digital widgets.  Since you don't have your money at that moment, your money will immediately be worth more to you.  Since I have your money, it will be worth more to me.  Then, with all your money, I will say to Wall Street investors, "Look at all the money I am making.  Give me more!"

That is how it works, right?  

 

 

PS -- I forgot the part where I live like a king and possibly disappear for a few months with all your money.  Later, when I run out of money for hookers and blow, I send a message that says: "Send lawyers, guns, and money."  Then I will come back and apologize.  I will ask you for more money.

 

THAT'S HOW IT WORKS!

Only petty people need to spend money to influence laws to further their behavior.  Those who are really powerful know those laws don't apply to them anyway.

Huh... Odd how this thread hasn't gotten locked yet, for such an... observation. 🤔 I mean, I could vaguely recall one of mine getting locked... 🤫

Were  the Koch brothers and Aldelson  funding political donations with money stolen from investor’s private accounts?  It’s not a comment about party affiliation. It’s about being a fraud.

Adelson and one of the Koch brothers have left the building and Sam Bankman-Fried will soon be fitted for new silver bracelets and a government issued coverall.

I would suggest, however, their recent demise has not left any politician without funding, whether it is dark money, legally donated, or otherwise. As with all things about the nexus of government and powerful (read wealthy) businessmen, follow the money and you will find the truth.

Show me where Soros stole money from private accounts. And your issue was that the money went to Democrats

Oh Rich, being contrary again. Here's something that might help the conversation around the Thanksgiving table today. From the White House Chief of Staff, building unity one tweet at a time! You're welcome!

 

Everyone have a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!

Perhaps you should reread my statement

Is it?  Glad you could conclude that from my post  

Why are we being allowed to continue this thread? 🙃🙄
