Democrat Maxine Waters Blew FTX Founder A Kiss – Will Now Lead Investigation Into FTX’s Collapse
Crytpo ponzi crook Sam Bankman-Fried was invited to and appeared on a panel with Rep. Maxine Waters (D., Calif.), who oversees crypto issues as chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee.
Waters dismissed questions this week about whether her colleagues should return donations from Bankman-Fried. Instead, she said that the scandal is “unfortunate because it just puts a bad eye on cryptocurrency.”

Bu: Anthony Scott, TPG, November 17, 2022:
A video from December 2021 resurfaced showing Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters (CA) blowing a kiss to FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried.
Last year FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and five other cryptocurrency exchange executives testified before The House Financial Services Committee which is chaired by Maxine Waters.
While Bankman-Fried was leaving the hearing Maxine Waters blew a kiss to the mega-Democrat donor.
WATCH:
Rep. Maxine Waters this week announced a bipartisan investigation into FTX.
“Today, the Chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA), and the Ranking Member of the House Financial Services Committee, Congressman Patrick McHenry (R-NC), announced a bipartisan hearing into the collapse of FTX and the broader consequences for the digital asset ecosystem. In December, the Committee expects to hear from the companies and individuals involved, including Sam Bankman-Fried, Alameda Research, Binance, FTX, and related entities, among others.” The House Committee on Financial Services announced this week.
“The fall of FTX has posed tremendous harm to over one million users, many of whom were everyday people who invested their hard-earned savings into the FTX cryptocurrency exchange, only to watch it all disappear within a matter of seconds. Unfortunately, this event is just one out of many examples of cryptocurrency platforms that have collapsed just this past year. That’s why it is with great urgency that I, along with my colleague Ranking Member McHenry, announce the Committee’s intention to hold a hearing to investigate the collapse of FTX,” said Chairwoman Waters.
“As Chairwoman of the Financial Services Committee, I have led the effort in examining and investigating the digital assets marketplace, and know that we need legislative action to ensure that digital assets entities cannot operate in the shadows outside of robust federal oversight and clear rules of the road. I look forward to holding this important hearing, and uncovering all that Congress must do to ensure this never happens again.”
