@unusual_whales – This week, prosecutors have seized $50 million from Sam Bankman-Fried’s account in the tiny rural Washington State bank, the Farmington State Bank, where last year he purchased an $11 million stake in the bank itself… This was the bank.
You’ll never guess who shows up in this story: The curious history of Farmington State Bank
(Grab a coffee.)
Echoes of the movie, “Made in America” starring Tom Cruise telling the story of the CIA during the Iran Contra, Sandinista scandal that eventually pulled in Oliver North. Its corollary feature was “Kill the Messenger” with Jeremy Renner which told how the CIA sold drugs in the largely black community of south LA to finance the purchase of guns for the Contras in Nicaragua.
Does anyone NOT show up in the curious history of this bank? Chan, Nixon, Kissinger, Trump, Marcos, Epstein, Maxwell, Inchape, etc…
However, the real question how did this happen:
“… it remains unclear how a Bahamas-based company like FTX, with ongoing investigations by top financial watchdogs, was able to purchase a stake in a federally approved bank.”
There’s a name missing from this well done article. I find it interesting that there is likely a Clinton connection in there…(Little Rock bank purchase through Rose Law Firm). Paging Hillary. Paging Bill.

Boosch’s is missing on yer list, and they were/are as crocked as the klintons!
The Bush’s are not missing. What about the Carlyle Group?. Bush 1 was a big wheel with them.Huge real estate, They’re in there up to their neck or more.
As bad as things are up here in Trudeautopia…I’m kinda glad our “banks” are not like this.
Then again…caveat emptor, amirite?
If they were, how would you know?
Isn’t AMIRITE a mineral only found on Mars?
I think you’re wrong.
not like this that you know of. But money is laundered, lies are told, even sworn to and law and order is just as elusive.
White collar crime is extensive and being in the right crowd pays.

One Nation under Blackmail is a two volume book by Whitney Webb. I just started reading it, and this lady is a serious deep dive journalist into the inner workings of the elites. Starts out with the Bronfman liquor family here in Canada.
This story reads as a Who’s Who of international grifters.
Kill himself? Epstein didn’t even finance himself.
Wow, this is the first journalist who provided a little background on Epstein’s politician blackmail operation … makes one wonder about our useless lickspittle dominant media
Corruption rolls on like a well-oiled machine.
Whitney Webb is an unflappable, brave and brilliant journalist. Maybe one of the last ever. Hat’s off to her again.
It’s odd. If you go to google maps street view, the image above is about as close as you can get to it. Google won’t let you go down the street it’s sitting on. There is a front image though that Google provides.
So…looking at the map, Farmington is roughly a 60km drive to Coeur d’Alene Lake and it’s multi-million dollar lake view mansions. Given that Coeur d’Alene itself has its major recreation centre named after McD’s billionaire Ray Kroc should anyone be surprised at some one room shack of a bank located just over state lines being used as a hollow tree to squirrel away a gazillion acorns? Question is, SBF isn’t smart enough to figure out that bank safe house himself. So who else is using Farmington as a domestic Swiss Bank that opened the door to let SBF into the club?
Before I click on the link, I’m going to guess some prominent Democrat. Very prominent. Maybe Maxine Waters?
