FTX Conspiracy Theories

[milwaukee mike]

This feels like FTX

was sbr also a money laundering operation for the democratic party?

[Optional]

^^^ I'd laugh at that Mike.

But I've already seen a red wave of people seriously trying to say that stuff and quite frankly it sends a shiver up my spine for the future of the USA. People so desperate to undermine democracy at any cost will be the ruin of America. Mark my words.

[TheMoneyShot]

I truly don't understand what happened to FTX? Weren't they the newest exchange or something?? How did the newest quickly become the shortest?? In a nutshell... what caused the collapse???

i think i'm desperate to SAVE america from these scoundrels... the truth shouldn't scare you

it's a proven fact that money went from the usa AND ftx to the ukraine, and back to democrat campaign funds

why do you think that people sending off american taxpayer dollars to foreign countries, while ignoring rampant crime and homelessness right here in the USA, that those are the heroes? and those of us trying to stop it are somehow enemies of democracy?

i'm awake and will never go back to sleep, will you ever wake up? THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU UNLESS YOU MAKE THEM CARE

bankman-fried acted alone! the 9/11 terrorists acted alone! epstein acted alone and then killed himself! weinstein acted alone! madoff acted alone! lockdowns were great for your physical and mental health! pelosi's husband was attacked by the most liberal maga guy ever! hunter biden's laptop was a russian fairy tale! we never said the vaccines would work, just that you had to take them anyway! russians stole the 2016 election but if you say any other election was unfair that's totally crazy and undermines democracy!

if you say any of those are false it's just a wild conspiracy theory! it's gotten to the point where these lies are such blatant insults to everyone's intelligence

long list of crypto problems, going way back to when i got screwed over by mt gox

just this year you've had voyager/terra/ftx

[EddieMusher]

[milwaukee mike]

good stuff musher, i watched that too... i like the point about arresting people for privacy tools, or for being whistleblowers (like snowden), while allowing thieves to run the sec and hang out with their daughters, and robbing 5 million people

and then sbr and other social media sites FUKKING ENABLE IT by banning or moving posts that mention what thieves they are

i can say that my neighbor is a thief, that's fine... but if you ever accuse a bankman or a weinstein or an epstein or a madoff of being a thief and/or human trafficker and/or pedophile, you will be banned from everything... then when it turns out to be true you won't get an apology from anyone

why doesn't the media do their job and show us that epstein client list that they have? oh that's right it would show a lot of guys in a certain tribe that hate every other race and prove it on a daily basis

[milwaukee mike]

oops ftx also funded studies that showed hcq/ivermectin had "no benefit" while funding covid vaccines, no conflict of interest there! lolol

seems like it was a one-stop shop for everything horrible that happened between 2020-2022... founded in 2019, funded a bunch of shady crap, every single one of which was detrimental to americans

I'm not a complete naive idiot. I accept there is some possibility of part of that being true.

But the same people who hate America as it is today saw one Youtube video from one know conspiracy theorist and immediately you can't visit one youtube/facebook/twitter comments thread without being bombarded by people claiming they know FTX was just a CIA setup to help Biden bribe Ukraine blah blah blah.

That is what undermines democracy, complete know-nothings spouting off like they know more than anyone else for sure.

Anyway, carry on, I am sure you find your daily dose of anti-govt/anti-USA/anti-democracy drama entertaining at least.


One day I hope you have an epiphany and wonder why it's only angry MAGA people who seem to "know" the inside story immediately every time.

free speech destroys democracy. i know this because all the ppl who have the power to censor speech say so.

What is your point?

FTX was just a Biden front to bribe Ukraine to not dish dirt on Hunter. I know that because people use their freedom of speech to propagate that as a "fact".

Doing all you can to undermine democracy does not equal freedom of speech to blame.

But that is how you anti-democracy types roll now. Just spew rhetoric you heard elsewhere, without a clue what you are even saying or why you are being encouraged to do so. Sad stuff for America.

True to an extent. We have been riddled with lies in America. It all started with Hillaries 33 thousand erasures of e mails right on through this latest scam.. All the incidents Milwaukee Mike mentioned in between..

When do we get justice. It is not just MAGA who should want answers. This is how divided America has become. It all started with the Democrats trying to destroy Trumps Presidency. Since Trump took office, the Democrats have attacked its own people. Calling them dissenters and anti American.. They even called Parents anti American for wanting to protect their children from porn in school… When will the Left be held accountable,.?.

Aren’t the Donald Trump attacks becoming old news.?. How many failures do we need to realize what is actually happening to the American Political Spectrum.?.

The blame for this falls solely on the Democrats in power today.

I'd probably lean on blaming the electoral system as much as either party, but I'd prefer to focus less on apportioning blame and more on looking for solutions really.

what does it matter if this one specific conspiracy theory is true or not? are you denying that the us government has done this type of stuff and much much worse in the past over and over? the thing that undermines democracy is that the politicians and government agencies are corrupt and are able get away with the crimes that they commit. if there is enough outrage at their behavior then once in awhile then they will offer up a token sacrifice and some toothless regulations.

I guess that is the core of my objection. So many people think truth does not matter if it supports their ideology.

Think about what it would end up like if all of us ended up thinking and acting that way.

[fried cheese]

also you know that this stuff isnt a threat to "democracy" because milwaukee mike isnt in a prison or dead right now. this stuff may convince a tiny vocal minority of ppl but the ppl who can convince the masses of americans are all hunted down and imprisoned, financially ruined, or killed. snowden, assange, and all the other whistleblowers with the actual proof get their lives wrecked.

wrongly accusing the government of corruption is like wrongly accusing jeffrey dahmer of killing someone that you think he might have but dont have any proof. their reputation was already destroyed beforehand and one more murder wont make ppl hate him more. if someone didnt know that dahmer was a murderer before the false accusation then is it really that bad that they think he is a murderer now but for the wrong reason?

Not every situation is a conspiracy... BUT you'd be surprised at the amount of stories YOU thought to be TRUE.... only to find out there were "patterns" as to why it happened and made it FALSE. They are good at camouflaging things making it look as natural as possible.

Let me use an example... from a SPORTS perspective... I'll bring up the infamous PI call Rams VS Saints playoff game.

As you clearly see... that was Pass Interference. There's no denying that... so why wasn't it called?? Hmmmm Since we're all gamblers... probably to give the LA Rams a chance to win the game?? I don't know?? Sure... you can label this as a "conspiracy" if you want... but we more than likely know what's going on...

Same applies for politics... Dems and Republicans... There was odd sh## when Bush was in office.... there was odd sh## when Obama was in office. Obama was the best "smooth talker" ever in politics... no one is better. Even though he spewed BS 24/7 he made everyone believe.

You talk about democracy? Well... possibly Trump got in unjust? I mean... it is possible (2016). It's also quite possible Biden got in unjustly during 2020 election. I mean how in the hell does a man campaign from his bunker for 2 months and still WIN? Makes zero sense. Automatic loss to be honest. When were elections accurate? Who knows? What's quite alarming is when you have the Zuckerbergs... the Bezos... the Cubans all sticking up for Biden. All 3 of them know 10 out of 10 times that Biden isn't capable of leading sh## through an a$$hole... but hey they voted for him. Why? Because it helps their businesses. The money all these guys donated is unbelievable to the Democratic party. Is Biden the right guy for all the people in the USA?? Probably not. When you also pick and choose what you're going to CENSOR... well... there's where you lost the democracy. That's not fair. It's underhanded and dirty what Zuckerberg did.

You know what's interesting?? Everyone has a camera phone now. And why were they actually designed? Do you truly believe they were designed for our entertainment? Nonsense. They were designed to record and watch us. They are watching every move we make... every pattern in our lives. But.. they never thought we could use the same device to RECORD THEIR DIRTY WORK. Right? I mean let's face it... there were tons of video footage in Detroit counting votes in 2020 Trump VS Biden. They had to put up window blocking material because they didn't want to be watched. It wasn't in their plans that people would actually come down to watch the process. The election is just one thing in which the people used the TECHNOLOGY VS THEM. Remember... it was designed to watch us. How dare you use the device that we created to watch you... and use it on us. Yep... that's how the story goes.

And why was most of these videos blocked on youtube?? Because it interfered with an agenda. Why can we post videos of us partying with our friends... mowing the grass... but how dare we put up a questionable video in regards to an election. Again... it holds the TRUTH... that's why it's removed.

Anyone would be pissed off right now with the inflation. The leadership... the money to Ukraine. I mean why in the FUKK are we helping them?? Has to be inside dealings to this. No other way to explain it. But to the average person looking in... it shows... an act of kindness... an act of graciousness. An act of service to the helpless. Oh really?? There's helpless people in your own NATION... and you don't do a damn thing for them.

Biden clearly appears to be the one giving handouts for undisclosed reasons. And it has nothing to do with KINDNESS.

I have no hard feelings Opti if you call Trump a cheat... a loser... or whatever you want. My main concern is how blinded you are by this USA Democratic party. They've used a lot of LEVERAGE... and appear UNTOUCHABLE now... which has ruined Democracy.

[Halfapointoff]

Yo almighty of sbr optional. Lol. You should probably stop writing. Your opinions suck, you think you’re smart but you’re not. It sucks to hear it, but human nature is for you to write something witty to prove to all of sbr of how much smarter your are than all of us and to defend your honor by blasting back. However, when the sun comes up everyday, you are still dumb as shit writing for sbr trying to spew nonsense logic. How’s that conspiracy thing working? Defend yourself with all the accolades you want but at the end of the day, common sense logic, compassion, and strength will always prevail over dumb shit Sportsbook review moderators on an internet website. Waz up?

Who has the power to censor your speech? Who said free speech destroys democracy? Who can stop you from having a public meeting, ever scumbag politician, has commercial on TV and radio, from both sides, so who is doing this horrible thing? As long as you can speak and not in in jail speak all you want!

So basically what you are saying, they finally caught up with the Republicans! They are not there yet, but they are learning after 150 years of being screwed because the Republicans have always took care of the rich and have the money that gives them the power and they can't stand democrats are turning it on them, like your phone scenario above

I do find out things are not as I thought sometimes, and you're right that it does undermine confidence in anything else you believe too.

But you are wrong that I am for the democrats, or any other party. I can criticize people yelling that they know FTX is a conspiracy with Biden to bribe Ukraine without any need to be for Dems or against Reps. I think that is what partisan types around here cannot relate to about my posts. I am for a strong America and fair minded political policies and actions. Not any party.

My head hurts coming on this site sometimes.Honestly wish SBR would just do away with all the saloon and stick to 100% sports betting.Whatever political side you fall on we all can bitch about what said team screwed us on our bets.The only thing we all agree on these days it seems is whether we took the -3.5 or the +3.5..Theres enough sites where you can moan and groan to your hearts content about what and whom is a conspiracy or not but I just wish here I could complain about how much I hate the Patriots or Packers on here and thats it.Most people sports bet to escape from all the bull crap in their lives and maybe make some money maybe lose alot more.But all the dam hate and yelling drives folks away.

The problem is many sports have become intertwined with politics and social issues. Look at the NBA backing BLM, World Cup team USA will have rainbow colored USA stuff all over the place...the list goes on and on. This type of stuff makes it near impossible to only talk about sports or gambling as this stuff is forced on us at every turn.

I'd argue let's keep sporting events just that and not have all this crap shoved in our face during games. Watching games used to be an escape from real life and issues but now we can't even watch sports in peace.

Let's be honest, political and social chatter is far from the only reason that folks have been driven away or left SBR.

My head hurts coming on this site sometimes.Honestly wish SBR would just do away with all the saloon and stick to 100% sports betting.Whatever political side you fall on we all can bitch about what said team screwed us on our bets.The only thing we all agree on these days it seems is whether we took the -3.5 or the +3.5..Theres enough sites where you can moan and groan to your hearts content about what and whom is a conspiracy or not but I just wish here I could complain about how much I hate the Patriots or Packers on here and thats it.Most people sports bet to escape from all the bull crap in their lives and maybe make some money maybe lose alot more.But all the dam hate and yelling drives folks away.

You clicked on FTX Conspiracy Theories. What did you think you were going to read? A breakdown of the Titans vs Packers game. I swear.

if i'm so "anti-democracy" and optional is apparently "pro-democracy" then let's have a democratic vote

i'm quite sure 51% of the sbr community would think that i SHOULDN'T get an official warning for the first post in this thread

also quite sure that 51% of the community would want the store reopened... make it happen optional! since you are all in on democracy and apparently i'm not!

while you're at it the usa could be really democratic and vote on whether to send this $37 billion to ukraine yesterday, after zelensky totally lied about the source of the missiles in poland... hmm i wonder what % of the population would want to keep sending that kind of money while they are struggling to pay for gas and food... but to even mention that undermines democracy! it's more democratic to just shut up and let totalitarians just run amok and spend whatever they want?

i can't really think of any great democracies that were built by obeying draconian laws... that seems like cowardice and obedience, which are not nearly as noble as people have claimed the past few years... i'm the good guy because i'm wearing my mask, taking a vaccine, and forcing you to do the same! um NO

someone mentioned FTX and i posted a CARTOON

which got me an sbr warning, called names, saying i hate america, etc

You got a warning that requested you keep this out of official company announcement threads.

Which I thought was respectful and reasonable.

Calling you names and saying you hate America I do not recall being part of it at all... but I think calling you snowflake is probably justified by this post eh? ;-)
