After the FTX scandal erupted in 2021, founder Sam Bankman-Fried internally debated distancing himself from the Democratic Party, where he had invested heavily. During his recent interview from prison with Tucker Carlson, he reflected on his friendship with fellow inmate Diddy and expressed disappointment that no Democrats supported him during his legal troubles. Suggesting a shift towards the Republican Party might have influenced his prosecution, Bankman-Fried seemed to grapple with the consequences of his choices as a convicted fraudster.
In his PR disaster for the ages, the linkup with Tucker Carlson never happened. But more than two years later, the convicted fraudster finally had the time to give that interview.
Bankman-Fried reminded himself to 'go on Tucker Carlson, come out as a republican', indicating his thoughts on political alignment following the FTX collapse.
