Lake Lawsuit: A Real Banger

Kari Lake’s lawsuit is a banger and so is Sam Bankman-Fried’s indictment! The Securities and Exchange Commission is not giving him a break and that’s a good thing. More from RedPill78.

There are actually three different outfits bringing charges against FTX cryptocurrency dealer Sam Bankman-Fried — the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the Southern District of New York Attorney General’s Office (SDNY). Here, Robert Gouveia, Esquire, gives us details on the specific charges enumerated against Bankman-Fried.

He was arrested in the Bahamas the day before he was scheduled to address the U.S. House Financial Services Committee. Instead, the committee heard from FTX’s new CEO, John J. Ray III, who  testified on the firm’s colossal downfall, involving billions of dollars in lost investor funds. The committee chairwoman, Maxine Waters, did not blow any kisses toward Ray as she had previously done when Bankman-Fried appeared before Congress.

Interesting enough, Gouveia also covered the Kari Lake court filings. He says Tuesday’s hearing wasn’t so much of a bombshell, more about setting dates for future hearings. He believes, though, we could see some genuine fireworks ahead of Christmas.

Indictments Loom In Arizona

The Arizona’s Attorney General’s office has sent a notice to Maricopa County asking them to preserve anything and everything related to the audit and more! And the county has responded. Answers are coming and probably, so are indictments! More from RedPill78.

What an amazing time to be alive! As Big Tech continues to silence our voices (wait until you hear the latest topic that’s now forbidden), we can more easily see who is a coward versus the strong and the brace. More from Lori Colley.

Good will come out of all of this. Warriors will continue to shine and to fight. Pray! More from And We Know.

N.M. House Leader Resigns

Albuquerque’s Sheryl Williams Stapleton, facing allegations of racketeering, money laundering and a kickback scheme, resigned her position as House Majority Leader in the New Mexico Legislature, but not before vehemently denying any wrongdoing.

Agents from the Attorney General ‘s office raided her home and business earlier this week following the allegations. The warrant states Stapleton, an Albuquerque Public Schools administrator, funneled money meant for a vendor into her personal bank account. Stapleton’s attorney said she is also under federal investigation in the case.

KRQE-TV reports the N.M. Republican Party said this was a “sad day in New Mexico politics,” but added Stapleton violated the public trust. The House Democrats said the resignation was appropriate, given the weight of the allegations. Meanwhile, the House Democratic Caucus met on Saturday to discuss the resignation and the Bernalillo County Commission will be responsible for appointing a new member to carry out the remainder of her current term. Here’s more from KRQE.

 

 

N.M. Majority Leader Caught

In yet another sordid case of Democrat Party corruption, New Mexico House Majority Leader Sheryl Williams Stapleton, an Albuquerque Democrat, is being investigated for alleged racketeering, money laundering and receiving kickbacks. Agents with the New Mexico Attorney General’s office executed a 32-page search warrant on Stapleton’s residence and employer–Albuquerque Public Schools (APS)–looking for evidence.

According to the warrant, Stapleton funneled more than $5 million from APS through a fictional company called Robotics Management Learning Systems LLC into four businesses and charities she was directly connected with, dating back to 2006, including A Taste of the Caribbean restaurant, which she owns. Shockingly, the warrant shows 57 checks, each for more than $300,000, were sent to the restaurant from the robotics company.

In another development, the AG’s office told KOB-TV in Albuquerque that it’s possible that past and present leadership at APS were aware of the scheme, but did nothing to report it because of the influence Stapleton had in the Legislature in obtaining funds for the schools. Stapleton has served as House majority leader since 2017 and as a member of chamber for 27 years. Here’s the rest of the story from KOB.

Breaking news: KOB is reporting that 12 employees from APS were placed on paid leave pending an internal investigation into Stapleton. Luis Robles, the outside counsel for APS, says investigators are actively looking into the role that other APS employees may have played in assisting Stapleton and her alleged misconduct. Stapleton is among the 12 employees on leave with pay.
