Attorney John Deaton, a vocal supporter of cryptocurrency XRP, recently raised eyebrows with probing questions on social media. These questions spotlight Senator Elizabeth Warren’s conspicuous silence regarding the scandal enveloping Samuel Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of the now-defunct cryptocurrency exchange FTX.
Warren’s Silence on FTX’s Downfall
Senator Warren, known for her critical stance on cryptocurrencies, is now facing scrutiny from Deaton for her apparent lack of commentary on the FTX debacle. The focus is mainly on investigating Sam Bankman-Fried’s parents, Joe Bankman and Barbara Fried, amidst allegations that misused FTX customer funds may have funded their opulent lifestyle.
Deaton posits two critical questions:
- Is there a personal connection between Senator Warren and Barbara Fried?
- Did Senator Warren meet with SBF during his lobbying efforts in Washington, D.C.?
Deaton also questions Senator Warren’s potential coordination with Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, and the contrasting positions they hold regarding cryptocurrency.
The attorney further scrutinizes Senator Warren’s role in overseeing the SEC, questioning her lack of inquiry into the meetings between SEC Chair Gary Gensler and SBF.
In his investigation, Deaton urges accountability from influential figures in the crypto industry like Senator Warren. As the legal case against SBF unfolds, these questions challenge the alignment between Senator Warren’s actions and her public statements on cryptocurrencies.
