Reply to comment by apriljeangibbs in [OC] Which Political Groups did Former FTX Executives Donate to? by coingecko

FTX bought the whole Government that would in both parties.

Crypto is regulated as a commodity under the agriculture committee, so the politicians FTX got the closest with were those on the agriculture committee.

Specifically so when his Ponzi scheme blew up he would get favorable treatment regardless of who's in office

The committee counts as both?

Yes. All committees have members of both parties usually with the party in majority running the committees

So this graph would divide up the number of members in each party on the committee by how much was donated to them and apply it that way?
