Sam Bankman-Fried? He was donating equally to Republicans too, he was just doing it dark.

He was wanting to be involved in writing the crypto-regulations, and the only way to guarantee that was to give to both sides.

From the article I linked:

Public data shows that some parts of Bankman-Fried’s empire gave equally to both parties. Data from OpenSecrets, a non-profit that tracks data on campaign finance and lobbying, shows FTX US, the company’s US operation, gave equally to both parties.

But Bankman-Fried’s public donations went largely to Democrats. The FTX founder gave more than $990,000 to candidates in the last election cycle, according to OpenSecrets, and another $38.8m to outside groups. Only about $235,000 of his public political giving went toward Republican candidates.

The money helped Bankman-Fried position himself as an influential voice in crypto regulation

So yes, his personal donations might have been to largely Dems, but his company donated to both.

And what’s more he admitted to doing it on video.

I heard he donated to Dems openly so he could claim the woke points but used a front or some kind of accounting trick to donate to republicans "anonymously" since they wouldn't like it if they found out he was playing both sides of the fence for his own purposes.

Shouldn't be surprising, but crazy ideologues definitely hold the cause as sancrisant above all else.
