IN THE NEWS: THAT CRYPTO SCHEME, SAM BANKMAN-FRIED'S BROTHER WORKED FOR DEM CONGRESSMAN ON FINANCIAL SERVICES COMMITTEE "AND INVESTOR PROTECTION" SUBCOMMITTEE

The brother of FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is a former Legislative Correspondent for Democratic Congressman Sean Casten, who serves on the House Financial Services Committee and its subcommittees involved in “investor protection” and “consumer protection.” Rep. Casten also participated in a congressional hearing featuring Sam Bankman-Fried, though he failed to ask the CEO of the now-bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange platform any questions.
