Colombo Guzman soprano Yes some of the most famous crime Families in the history of the world Somehow often looked at as Heroes and Yet they have inflicted so much pain and Suffering around the world it's Unbelievable power is about influence And when you're able to keep that Influence and Power in the bonds of Family well it gets supercharged and it Makes that organization even more Powerful but families that have spent Generations and politics and finance Well those are some of the most Dangerous families in the entire world Make organized crimes like Child's Play Because they're usually able to get away With it they're seen as the good guys But in the wake of the FTX collapse it's Time to add a new collection of names to That list the begmans the Freeds and Certainly the Bateman Freeds let's get It Welcome to wake up Joe my name is Ben Make sure to smash that like button this Channel goes deeper into topics than Most do we've got an extremely good Investigative researchers and this is a Story that you're probably not going to See on many other channels and one Reason for that might be because people Are getting kind of tired of the FTX Story it's dominated headlines for so Long but I think it's still okay in
Doses and this is one that you need to Hear so we started digging deep into the Bateman freed family and what we found There is this goes much deeper than just The last few years in crypto much deeper Than SPF much deeper than just this one Fraud Sam was well connected with the Establishment with both politicians and Financial Giants but of course Everything started to fall apart last Year and his family the true source of His political power well they tried to Hide behind the scenes but now the Entire Bateman freed family well they've Gone into the spotlight they've got Nowhere to hide a lot of the things that They've been doing are now seen as very Suspicious lawyers representing FTX in The bankruptcy well they even call for The parents to come in and testify under Oath find out how they benefited from Samsung position his parents by the way And his family they're not cooperating With investigators they're refusing to Say anything that they know even though They were heavily entrenched with FTX And also with Sam in the Bahamas so Let's talk about the bangman freed crime Family we know SBS parents both had cozy Relationships with Regulators but his Brother Gabriel well he actually played A big role with the fraud that went down At FTX that's right Gabriel Bateman Freed was in charge of all the political
Donations that FTX was using a lot of People don't know that GBF is Will dub Him he actually ran an organization Called guarding against pandemics and From the name you would think that they Were actually doing some kind of medical Research but it was strictly a lobbying Company it wasn't about Health Resources Or actually stopping the pandemic from Happening again the money that was Coming into this organization it was all Going to politicians under the pretense Of a quid pro quo if you will that once They're elected into office that they Would make legislation that would Prevent future pandemics but even this Gets murky because the main thing they Were actually pushing for was an Increase in income tax taxes it seems Like what they did here is they slapped The pandemic research label on whatever They were doing because it was hot and Popular at the time when in reality all They cared about was political influence This group spent 3.3 million dollars on A townhouse very close Capitol Hill so They could hold receptions for Politicians and their staffers big Parties of course didn't matter what Side of the political law you were on You were invited in reality it was just A giant lobbying group so they could Help politicians win and find favor with Them after they assist didn't have to do
With the pandemic at all okay so they Lied it was smoking mirrors it was just A label to get stuff done why should we Be that upset about it I've been to Washington all the time well all these Parties and receptions and political Donations they were used with your money And now you don't have it because this Is where it was spent funneled as a Lobbying apparatus the exact opposite Thing of what crypto should stand for And when you keep tracking the money you Find a lot of dark money flowing into Political foundations each member of the Bankman freed family well they had an Important role to play in Washington DC They were collectively pushing their Family's ideals in lobbying efforts well He said earlier GBF founded guarding Against pandemics the organization while He was under a congressman he was on the Staff of Congressman Sean Caston of Course he was just following in the Footsteps of the one that wears the Pants in his family Barbara his mom who Is the co-founder of the mind your Gap Hobbing group interesting here guard Against pandemics g-a-p very interesting Of course behind the Gap has gone under Much scrutiny since the FTX collapsed of Course after it was discovered the money From FTX the customer funds were flowing Into that organization and the brothers SBF and GBF well they actually had a
Foundation together it was called Building a stronger future this is Starting to look very similar to the Shell company architecture that was Built to cover the FTX insolvencies this One just happens to be shell donations And political organizations lobbying Groups maybe he was just using the Lessons he learned from his family when He constructed the FTX fraud now after All this corruption came to light the Parents and the brother they had to Resign their roles at the lobbying Groups and the foundations how ever Those groups still exist that's kind of Weird since even though they're not Benefiting from those organizations Anymore well they found it and created Them it was such blatant fraud found in These organizations shouldn't they be Disbanded now would be one thing if the Money from FTX was actually used for Good philanthropic purposes yes you Would have lost your money and it's your Money not theirs but if it's the Make-A-Wish Foundation okay like what Are you gonna do go take the money back From the kid who needs help but that's Not what this was at all this was not About philanthropy this was solely about Political connections and lobbying and Influence there was no philanthropy Remember guys if you like this kind of Content where we go deep into the story

Into a meme but please don't ask for my Manager and now Gabriel GBF he's been Answering the calls of investigators but He apparently has not been cooperating Or giving them any of the information That they've been requesting but there May be a Defector here Joe Bateman Sam's Father he actually seems to be a little More willing to talk to investigators Could he end up actually selling out his Own family to keep him from going to Prison at the end of the day one of These crime family members is going to Have to turn on each other if they want To avoid maximum penalties if that's not The reason then why is he the only one Willing to talk we've been seeing some Examples that the court is looking to Make an example of this crime family I Know this is contrary to what a lot of People are telling you this family is Not protected they lost all their Goodwill and favor when they had to ask For the donations back a clawback from Politicians these politicians aren't Going to allow them to protect their Connections now that Bateman Freeds are Pretty much broke and they're seen as Toxic and the politicians have to give The money back what benefit does it Provide to anyone to protect them we Know that just recently the judge in the Case well they said those two cosigners Of the bail along with the parents
