Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., leaves a GOP caucus meeting on Capitol Hill on Jan. 25, 2023, in Washington.— maxed out donations to alleged chronic liar and newly sworn-in Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., during the 2021-22 election cycle, according to FEC filings reviewed by SFGATE.
Records show that Claire Watanabe, an FTX senior executive, and Ramnik Arora, head of product, each gave the maximum allowed individual contribution of $5,800 to Santos’ campaign in late June and early August, respectively. Arora’s FEC filings list a residence in the Bay Area, while Watanabe gave an address in Long Beach. Neither has been accused of criminal wrongdoing in FTX-related matters.
FTX co-CEO Ryan Salame — who is based in Massachusetts and New York, according to filings — also maxed out a donation to Santos. While Salame also gave millions of dollars to countless political action committees and politicians, Watanabe and Arora have much more limited donation histories. Watanabe appears to have directly given to four politicians during the past election cycle; Arora appears to have directly given to just three.
Thanks. PS: I thought it was interesting that I came across this first via a Google automated pairing of George Santos & FTX. During another “big weekend” of avoiding rude (often banging objects as local workers loitering & / or drunk) humans & ad spam deleting for me. 😊
