He did the same to congress with more money🤷🏾♂️🤫🤡
This Jewish crook bribed Chinese official for what?!
Freeken trader
When he gave republicans and Democrats almost $100million they called it lobbying. How is this different?
This guy should be in prison.
Digital debris. A very good thing! Lock ‘em up!
Adopted from the words of Dave Chappelle: "What can I say about the fried Menn [greedy demons etc = enemies of the Christ God] that hasn't already been said about Ukraine, they look bombed out and depleted:)." If you really care, Chappelle said verbatim about a hater's suit, "What can I say about that suit, that hasn't already been said about Afghanistan, it looks bombed out and depleted."
in this instance SNF was a victim of extortion. Anyone in a similar situation would have done the same thing if their money was being held hostage by govt officals.
victims of extortion should NOT be charged for paying a bribe.

For $40,000,000 I’d get back with my ex wife.
Why should our government F.D.I.C. insure them mafia to speculate our real money into garbage like Venezuela? They're obvious creeps and didn't earn it.
I can't believe people were stupid enough to fall for this scheme in the first place. People need to quit being so gullible.
Wait till this comes back to the bidens you know they had to have a piece of this action
Dems are something else have to watch them closely
Crypto… like sort of NOT real money…
40 million? Hunter's jealous
LET HIM ROT IN LIFE FOR JAIL
HE TOOK MONEY FROM MANY MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD, AND GAVE IT TO THE MONEY TO GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS FROM BOTH USA AND CHINA TO USE TO FUND GOVERNMENT CONTROL AGAINST THE US PEOPLE USING THEIR MONEY?! HE SHOULD GET 60 YEARS IN JAIL!
Never trust a freaking brat..
And place him on a double bed inmate.
Make room for Biden n
Now that’s a bribe, wouldn’t take a penny less
And the Joey crime family got that money from the Chinese
The weather in Palo Alto is so beautiful this type of year. I hope SBF is taking advantage of it.
Bankman-Frieds face looks like its committing a felony.
I'm surprised this guy isn't president
It's not illegal in China when that much money goes toward the CCP. He just needs to pull out his Chinese passport and hold it up to banish the American heathens. 😉
So with things like this going on, I'm even more in favor of banning TicToc and any potential BS the CCP is attempting against the rest of the world.
Sitting in his parents home as a makeshift Palo Alto jail… The rich are always pampered by the legal system. This kid needs a few years in a super-max.
Should expose that CPP elites name so he might get chomp on by Xi's anti corruption.
Ok so Sammy in bed with the chinnese gov and the Democrats ohhhh😮
Prvarat. Za krım valyti
They just love dragging China through the mud any chance they get. 🙄🥱The key word here: Allegedly.
This clown can't help himself.
This is like someone kidnapped by the Mafia and being forced to dig their own grave before being shot – except he's doing it willingly all by himself!
Kanye was right about em.
Welcome to the Real World
"..bribed Chinese official .." this mean exactly what? maybe an extra week spent in a Country Club white-collar "prison"?🤣

Oh, the 40 million dollars he donated to Joe Biden. Biden is owned by the Chinese 🤔
