FTX Founder Explored $5B Offer to Trump to Bow Out, New Book Reveals

Former President Donald Trump addressing a rally in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, reiterating his stance against CBDCs.

The Billion-Dollar Proposition

The narrative unveils a staggering proposition from the former FTX CEO Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried, that aimed to alter the political landscape of the United States. Michael Lewis, the seasoned author, has unfolded this bold endeavor in his latest book, Going Infinite: The Rise and Fall of a New Tycoon. According to Lewis, the idea was to offer Donald Trump a whopping $5 billion to deter him from entering the presidential race again.

The Reasoning Behind The Offer

Sam Bankman-Fried saw Trump’s political ambitions as a threat to the democratic ethos of the United States. The crypto billionaire, according to the author, was assessing the legality of such a move. Lewis remarks that these deliberations were ongoing when FTX faced a major setback.

The Unraveling of FTX

The fallout of FTX in November 2022 was likened to “the aftermath of Pompeii” by Lewis, who spent significant time with SBF, delving deep into the trials and tribulations faced by the entrepreneur. The ensuing high-profile trial of Bankman-Fried, set to commence on October 3, is eagerly awaited by many.

The Upcoming Trial

With seven fraud cases lined up against SBF, the trial promises to unveil more about the enigmatic figure and his audacious ventures in both the cryptocurrency realm and the political sphere. The prosecution is set to argue two substantive charges while also delving into five conspiracy charges, further unfolding the complex narrative around Sam Bankman-Fried.

A Daring Intersection of Crypto and Politics

The revelations from Michael Lewis’ book introduce a daring narrative where the world of cryptocurrency intersects with political landscapes. Sam Bankman-Fried’s alleged proposition to Trump underscores the extent to which individuals vested in the digital currency realm are willing to venture into uncharted territories to safeguard what they deem as larger societal interests. As the courtroom drama unfolds in the coming days, the public and the media are on the edge, awaiting more disclosures that might further elucidate the enigmatic persona of SBF and the unyielding ethos driving him. This tale, chronicled by Lewis, not only sheds light on the audacity of individuals in the crypto arena but also prompts a broader discourse on the influence of financial power in political dialogues.
