Most fact check organizations work for someone, that someone always has an agenda.

Seems to be an effort to control the narrative regarding FTX.

Not related but related, worth a read.FTX on Steroids: Is “Tether” the Biden World’s Crypto BCCI?
FTX, and Tether, were created to fail, while in business they were set up as money theft systems among other things. The web is huge, understanding the Pump and Dump side of Crypto helps to see how this can happen. The planned collapse is written into The Bank-Man's name, he gets fried.
The judge overseeing the bankruptcy case of fallen crypto exchange FTX today agreed to continue bankruptcy proceedings in Delaware and keep the names and addresses of the top 50 creditors—owed approximately $3.1 billion—redacted for now.
The collapse of FTX is under investigation by the Southern District of New York, widely known as an elite organization packed with some of the nation’s top lawyers. Its nickname is the “Sovereign District of New York.” “People who work in the Southern District went to the best law schools, were elected to law reviews, and clerked for federal judges,” Nicholas Lemann wrote in the New Yorker in 2013. “They prosecute the biggest, baddest, scariest criminals: evil billionaires, the Mafia, drug gangs, terrorists.” One such lawyer who previously worked in in SDNY’s Securities and Commodities Fraud Task Force, told me that “if it turns out that the allegations against Bankman-Fried have merit, he is potentially in the most serious trouble you could possibly be in.” “The Southern District of New York is investigating him. And when they get involved, if there is criminality, odds are that they will make the case aggressively, prosecute it and secure a conviction,” said Samson Enzer, who joined Cahill Gordon & Reindel in 2021. “They rarely fail.”

When it comes to congress and the graft that is Ukraine, nothing should come as a surprise.
Last month, the Biden administration asked Congress for another $37.7 billion in support for Ukraine. If that passes, and it certainly will, Congress will have approved more than $100 billion in Ukraine-related spending.
To wit, yesterday congress slipped Ukraine Debt Payment Relief, into the 4,400 page National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) which will make the Senate happy, as the intent of the upper chamber is to continue the laundry operation.
Our taxpayer dollars are giving Ukrainians a better lifestyle than many Americans have right here at home.
FTX founder Samuel Bankman-Fried was indicted on eight criminal charges including wire fraud and conspiracy by misusing customer funds, according to an indictment from the US Attorney of the Southern District of New York.
Prosecutors in the Southern District of New York unsealed an indictment Tuesday, charging Bankman-Fried with wire fraud and multiple counts of conspiracy, including conspiracy counts to defraud investors, lenders, and the United States, commit commodities and securities fraud and money laundering, and violate campaign finance laws.
Regulators signaled this may be just the first of multiple charges to come. The SEC said there are ongoing investigations into “other securities law violations” and into other entities and individuals
The 14-page indictment also alleges that Bankman-Fried conspired with others to violate federal election laws by making political donations to federal candidates and joint fundraising committees between 2020 and November 2022, in excess of federal legal limits and in the names of other people.
