Sam Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF in the digital assets space and the disgraced founder of the now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, once considered paying former President of the United States and billionaire Donald Trump close to $5 billion in order to prevent him from running in the recent elections. It seems that the crypto entrepreneur’s journey came to an end prior to this happening. 

The former FTX CEO’s trial date is approaching, and new events have come to light. In an entrevista with CBS News 60 Minutes, Michael Lewis, the author of “Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon,” the book that tracks the former crypto billionaire’s life, stated that SBF considered paying Trump $5 billion to prevent him from running for a second term in the upcoming elections because he believed that the billionaire was a threat to democracy. 

It is important to mention here that while the talks of giving away $5 billion to a single person were being held behind closed doors, SBF’s crypto exchange FTX imploded and the entire Bankman-Fried empire filed for bankruptcy. According to the author, SBF wanted to help Mitch McConnell, a US Senate Republican leader, fund the Republican candidates who were at odds with Trump.

El plan original era ayudar a McConnell a financiar millones de dólares para aquellos que consideraba aptos para gobernar Estados Unidos. Después de una cena con el congresista, el criptoempresario prestó decenas de millones a candidatos republicanos, la mayoría de los cuales la actual dirección de FTX bajo John Ray III está tratando de recuperarse de los políticos. 

Mientras tanto, el autor señala que SBF cree que Trump está en la lista de riesgos existenciales que socavarán la democracia y quiere una cifra que impida que el multimillonario se presente a las elecciones. Preguntó cuánto dinero se necesitaría, pero Bankman-Fried no está seguro de que la suma de $5 mil millones provenga del propio Trump.
