Dear Allysia Finley of the WSJ's Font of Kookbabble:
You recently wrote back to back columns. One of them is about the SEC failing to regulate #FTX.
The other one calls #SenatorPatToomey / #PatToomey "a free-market champ."
Toomey was also a champ of SEC deregulating "non-banks" like #FTXScam / #FTX.
Also nowhere in your attempt to shill crypto by shifting blame onto #GaryGensler is it mentioned that the shameful #Blockchain8 wrote a letter urging SEC to stop investigating the #FTXScam.

Remember when Republican @RepTomEmmer@twitter.com wrote a letter to @SECGov@twitter.com asking them to stop investigating #FTX and then tried to blame @GaryGensler@twitter.com for the #FTXScam?
Democratic @RepRitchie@twitter.com is trying to run the same game. @RitchieTorres@twitter.com also signed Emmer's shameful #Blockchain8 letter. https://twitter.com/JWVerret/status/1600537662062051328

Remember when Republican Representative Tom Emmer wrote a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") asking them to stop investigating FTX and then tried to blame the SEC and its leadership for the FTXplosion?
Democratic darling of the left wing Ritchie Torres is now trying to run the same game, "opening an investigation" (with typos lol) of the SEC's "fundamental failure" to regulate FTX.
RitchieTorres also signed Emmer's shameful #Blockchain8 letter.

Rep. Tom Emmer's (R - Minnesota) performance is one of the finest displays of simping for the interests of wealthy and corrupt donors ever filmed.
Recorded in the US House of Representatives a few months before Emmer's March 2022 letter from the shamefully bipartisan #Blockchain8 to the Securities and Exchange Commission (AKA "the SEC") asking them to stop investigating FTX so much because it was hurting Sam Bankman-Fried's feelings the role may win Emmer an Oscar.

@molly0xfff In the #keating5 scandal, which this sure resembles given the huge donations, weird intervention with the regulator, and disasterous outcome, all the involved senators kept their seats, two were re-elected, and one eventually ran for president. I am no expert but wouldn't expect any #blockchain8 politicians to be held accountable now.
