America doesn’t have a crime problem, it has a Democrat problem.
Democrats desperately trying to spin high crime rates caused by their pro-crime policies began falsely claiming that crime was a Republican problem. The media began running articles with headlines like, “Red States Have Higher Murder Rates” and “Republicans Like to Talk Tough on Crime — But They’re the Ones with a Real Crime Problem”.
Caroline Ellison, the former Alameda CEO who has pleaded guilty to seven criminal charges, received $6 million from the crypto-trading firm – a fraction of the billions paid to Sam Bankman-Fried, court filings reviewed by Insider show.
Alameda Research has been accused of using customer deposits from Bankman-Fried’s crypto exchange FTX for daily operations, including risky investments. FTX filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on November 11 after it imploded, wiping out billions in customer deposits.
Disgraced ex-cryptocurrency kingpin Sam Bankman Fried and his since-bankrupt company FTX scored a meeting with a top regulator and sought to sway them to adopt industry-friendly rules months before the exchange’s historic collapse, emails show.
In May 2022, FTX pitched the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation on why it was apparently poised to be a “superior” cryptocurrency exchange and was swiftly granted a meeting with its chairman, Martin Gruenberg, according to emails obtained by the watchdog Protect the Public’s Trust and shared with the Washington Examiner.
CEO to Prison Bitch is going to be a harsh adjustment unless his Democrat bribes get him a spot in Club Fed.
California’s soft-on-crime policies were on full display in a federal courtroom earlier this month when a reputed Oakland gang member was handed a 33-month sentence for being a felon in possession of a firearm. Thanks to the state’s obsession with keeping inmates behind bars for as short a time as possible, the federal sentence of just under three years will likely result in more time served than the 15-year prison term imposed on Zayonta Casmire by the state of California back in 2016 on charges of conspiracy to commit attempted murder.
Last week, Angelica Zaragoza sat on a large black bus as it drove two hours south from Dallas to a women’s prison in Gatesville, Texas. Ms Zaragoza, 44, was joined by a dozen young girls, all travelling to see their mothers.
Emotions were high, Ms Zaragoza said, a giddy excitement that lasted for the four-hour visit, arranged each month by the Dallas non-profit where she works. But when the time was up, their sadness set in.
“We had a little girl, it was her first trip and when we went to leave she says: ‘Why can’t my mommy come with me?” Ms Zaragoza said.
Thousands of people are believed to have lost their savings after investing in a cryptocurrency trading app called iEarn Bot.

Sam Bankman-Fried’s defunct crypto exchange FTX owes Jimmy Buffett’s Margaritaville resort nearly $600,000 — more than 10 times what was previously thought — and meanwhile racked up a $400,000 DoorDash tab ahead of its bankruptcy, court papers revealed this week.
In November, FTX’s investment affiliate Alameda Research was reportedly sought after by Margaritaville resort in the Bahamas over a $55,319 bar tab.
Sam Bankman-Fried, a co-founder of FTX, received more than $2bn (£1.7bn) from entities linked to the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange into his personal accounts, according to court filings.
Bankman-Fried and five members of his inner circle transferred a total of $3.2bn into their personal accounts through “payments and loans”, according to US bankruptcy court filings in Delaware made by FTX’s new management.
FTX was once worth as much as $40bn but rapidly collapsed in November after a surge in customer withdrawals as rival exchange Binance reversed a plan to bail out its competitor. FTX admitted it did not have sufficient assets in reserve to meet the sudden increase in customer demand.
If true he may well be the next Madoff.

Disgraced former lawyer Alex Murdaugh has been sentenced to life in prison, a day after being convicted of murdering his wife and son.
Judge Clifton Newman gave Murdaugh two life sentences at a hearing in Walterboro, South Carolina. They will be served consecutively.
Mr Newman called the case “one of the most troubling” he had seen.
Murdaugh spoke briefly in court twice, to maintain his innocence.
As the Liberal government promises to increase maximum sentences after eliminating minimum sentences for certain gun crimes, data show that judges are never handing down maximum sentences for firearm offences.
