No he was meeting sbfraud to be sure he followed the "M F Global" play book while blindly bringing enforcement action to Bancrupt potential competition in the crypto space who wouldn't pay to play. "Give 50% to the encumbant to enter the space" it's all in his MIT lectures on line Sanctioned Extortion Commission
They knew he didn't have the money to buy all that the FTX bought. FTX was a wanted disaster, so crypto exchanges could be targeted as a consequence of FTX fraud
Dropped the ball is being over lenient. it was flat out corruption. SBF purchased immunity by $200+M in political donations & Gensler's just a 🤡 playing his role put there by that same party in which SBF donated to. 🤔🤣
He did nothing to protect investors of FTX in fact he turned a blind eye, this is because he and Sam Bankman’s parents are both from MIT and have close ties.
Gary should be made to sing like a canary , imagine all the dirty secrets that would come out of his backside from the time he was in CFTC CHAIR during the Bernie Madoff scandal when an insider came out multiple times and said it and yet ugly little Gary looked the other way, to the next scandal when he was crooked Hillary campaign Fund Manager 😂, to present day SEC Chairman his illustrious career as the bankster’s bogeyman comes shining through and let’s not forget these are all political postings given to him so that speaks volumes about the legendary politician who put him there to do what he’s been doing 😂 America the land of the free and the brave setting the standards for the rest of the world in everything 😂
One might go as far as saying it has something to do with all the political donations. I doubt they will ever get payed back (specially if there is no attention on the case).
He’s an arrogant bozo. They have tried to regulate by enforcement without having any clear rules or guidelines. Their actions have cost retail investors Billions. Their lack of action regarding FTX and Genslers own connections to FTXs sister company (Alameda Research) and CEO Caroline Ellison leave a lot of unanswered questions.
He didn't grill Gary. Instead, imo he spared him by not asking how many meetings Gary had with Sam and share his schedule agenda that is missing for months on the SEC website. It's probably not public to hide how much Gary talked to Sam Bankman F. They all just make a show for the public but the real agenda is behind the curtain.
Was waiting for someone to mention the meetings. I'd love to know what this bulldog regulator was discussing with the shaggy crypto ponzi prince. Like did he ask, "do you use stop losses?" (nope) or, "do you employ an accountant?" (nope) or "Can you prove you hold all of the BTC you claim to hold?" (nope). Did they talk about hockey? We know it was more than one lengthy meeting. How did no clue about the greatest ponzi ever perpetrated emerge for this razor sharp regulator? Did he want to crash the market for his banker buddies to buy in (as they did)? Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Kennedy was probably asked to "look tough" and make it appear as though Gensler is getting his ass handed to him. What a joke. Obvious smoke and mirrors tactics with the softball scripted questions.
The reason he didn’t shut them down was they wanted the biggest buying opportunity to occur in crypto, and looks like it will end up being this bear market bottom - whenever there is FUD, someone with more money than you is buying
I wish Kennedy would have asked him, ‘How did Elon identify Sam as a fraud within 10 minutes, after sitting down with him when he (Sam) wanted to buy part of Twitter?’
Why do they allow Gensler to put the abbreviation Hon before his name. There's nothing honorable about that guy. It's an insult to the American citizen to allow this.
I wish someone like Senator Kennedy was running the SEC. GG made fun of retail investors with a spoof video when he’s suppose to protect us. The SEC was too busy going after Kim Kardashian but not the market makers or Short sellers
If you look at the history of the relationship between Sam and the regulators, you can see with the naked eye that they were all friends and no one seriously asked them about their business 🤔 I get the impression that all this was played out just to now crush everyone else who is not with them. Senator Kennedy as always one of the best 👍🏻
Well the looks of someone are their business but fraud is not. Gary let FTX to happen and then he attacks the whole industry in general, claims he has to go according to the books and files a bunch of lawsuits against legit businesses where without any ground. He, and people like him, should be liable for the damage they're causing.
Kennedy is doing more to expose the foolishness and arrogance of corruption in our regulatory bodies, because his direct nature and humor make the feeds. Love this guy, keep him in office or promote him, Louisiana. Don't let them touch this guy.
He keeps calling cryptocurrency “securities” when they just lost the ripple case and a judge clearly said cryptocurrency IS NOT a security. Fire this mfer.
The thing that makes me laugh is they are saying why why why...when the biggest and most corrupt person sits infront of them , heart answer the easiest of questions or more precisely refusing to
thank you, I lost 30000 dollars in ftx. about half my profolio, it'll take me a year or 2 to save it. thanks for taking 2 years of my hard work and life Sam.
Great listening to these grilling but in all honesty nothing will ever happen to these politicians. Nothing will ever happen till we have a revolution.
I like how he wants Sam investigated based on his age and looks alone....isnt that discrimination? :P I still think Sam was just an idiot, and not evil. He wont get any jailtime - not with a good laywer. There were no rules for what he was doing - thats why its the wild west - thats why its a risk. You are literally relying on 1 person not to lose your money trading. And it shouldnt be that way, I agree, but it was. And still is. I think theyre going to have a hard time proving the laws he broke in court, especially with no paper trails. But I sure would like to see him to at least some jail time, just for Sams stupidity.
If any crypto company in tge US was comingling funds, why didn't the SEC enforce against THAT? If they know crypto is "rife" with comingling, then why didn't they do their job??
This guy is either utterly incompetent or complicit. It's one or the other. As at all other times he's been questioned he hops around the questions & cannot or will not give a straight answer. He absolutely needs to go. Actually a full investigation into his connections with FTX needs to be conducted & action taken if warranted. This is a travesty that needs to be properly dealt with. That is what protecting investors truly means, something he utterly fails to do.
Gensler looks like Pepe frog meme. He's evasive and should be relieved of his post. The young American electorate will recall these attacks on Crypto and vote accordingly.
The world's a stage. Basically he saying to you senator that, "we had to allow somebody to screw up badly so that we could go after the whole market". That's why he keeps mentioning the ENTIRE crypto industry. They gave ftx the green light so that they could do this. Sad
It wasn't a grilling. It was a waste of time bringing it up. Gensler didn't reply with anything useful or valuable. I actually didn't like the way the Congressman raised this. Insulting a man's age and appearance has nothing to do with SBF's appalling actions. The SEC did fail but its easy to point the finger after the fact. SBF fooled everyone.
The SEC permitted 100 separate mergers for FTX to acquire various licenses from companies. Before they even consider crypto they had grounds to investigate . The very first merger without a board should have been a red flag !@
Say, “No excuse, sir. I was incompetent, utterly without responsibility or even the slightest awareness, and I am so grateful to be unaccountable and totally free of any sort of repercussions for my inexcusable lack of oversight.
Just fire gary already, so many years yet SEC can't even settle what's security what's commodity. Also, explain how they can allow futures before spot etf!?!?!? Doesn't make sense at all
That was a soft serve not a grill!! Why was he having planning meetings and gave him a broker dealer license!! Ask Gary that with our vetting him!! Disgusting
Gary is a bigger crook than Sam. Both belong in jail
definitely, well said
both are jewish, why cant people see the obvious.
Gensler left FTX alone so the "donations" would keep coming for all his Democrat pals.
@chase4255 Rhinos are Dem's dressed as Rep's.
SBF greased everyone, regardless of political leanings. Anything to drive his agenda.
Trump 2024 🇷🇺
@chase4255 keep US dollars in the US. Biden is giving away our money and weapons. Let Europe and Ukraine burn!
words of the day
SEC dropped the ball with FTX big time. Now Gary is trying to go after the legitimate players to make up for it. What a bunch of bozos 😂
🎯
No he was meeting sbfraud to be sure he followed the "M F Global" play book while blindly bringing enforcement action to Bancrupt potential competition in the crypto space who wouldn't pay to play.
"Give 50% to the encumbant to enter the space" it's all in his MIT lectures on line

He didn't drop the ball. He purposely ignored it
They knew he didn't have the money to buy all that the FTX bought. FTX was a wanted disaster, so crypto exchanges could be targeted as a consequence of FTX fraud
Dropped the ball is being over lenient. it was flat out corruption. SBF purchased immunity by $200+M in political donations & Gensler's just a 🤡 playing his role put there by that same party in which SBF donated to. 🤔🤣
He did nothing to protect investors of FTX in fact he turned a blind eye, this is because he and Sam Bankman’s parents are both from MIT and have close ties.
Exactly and check out there family histories, there is much more than just MIT.
Bingo
The j3wish connection.
Thank you Senator Kennedy. Exactly!
The SEC was busy suing XRP rather not follow FTX
Exactly, SEC is a freaking joke.
💯 that’s it in a 🥜
Gary ginsler should be in jail, at minimum.
Gary should be made to sing like a canary , imagine all the dirty secrets that would come out of his backside from the time he was in CFTC CHAIR during the Bernie Madoff scandal when an insider came out multiple times and said it and yet ugly little Gary looked the other way, to the next scandal when he was crooked Hillary campaign Fund Manager 😂, to present day SEC Chairman his illustrious career as the bankster’s bogeyman comes shining through and let’s not forget these are all political postings given to him so that speaks volumes about the legendary politician who put him there to do what he’s been doing 😂 America the land of the free and the brave setting the standards for the rest of the world in everything 😂
MINIMUM!
No, I think Dr. Anthony Fauci should be in prison for life. Gary Boy should just be given his old job back... teaching night school.
@@tiffsaver your going soft on ugly Gary he’s financially ruined more people than the good Dr. Fauci who has a special place in Hell waiting for him
Minimum 😂 and maximum? Death penalty maybe?
The SEC was busy suing companies that where not braking the laws
It’s amazing how this billion dollars scandal is not getting coverage.
No it's not. The entire markets are manipulated. You will only see what they allow you to see
One might go as far as saying it has something to do with all the political donations. I doubt they will ever get payed back (specially if there is no attention on the case).
like 9/11 etc.
Like Epstein etc. The media is part of the problem
It’s pathetic he can never answer any questions. I would respect him more if he would just say “I don’t know” every time. Bidens brother. 😂
He SHOULD say, "I take the fifth."
He’s an arrogant bozo. They have tried to regulate by enforcement without having any clear rules or guidelines. Their actions have cost retail investors Billions. Their lack of action regarding FTX and Genslers own connections to FTXs sister company (Alameda Research) and CEO Caroline Ellison leave a lot of unanswered questions.
He knew exactly what was going on at ftx...he personally met with them,per his public calendar...Gensler is a weezel...
Calling him a weezel gives him way to much credit. He’s a liar and a butt kissing wannabe Elite!
I love Kennedy. Gensler is such a weasel
Looks like Mr Burns from The Simpsons.😄
Thank you Senator for speaking what we all feel.
Investigate Gary Gensler
He didn't grill Gary. Instead, imo he spared him by not asking how many meetings Gary had with Sam and share his schedule agenda that is missing for months on the SEC website. It's probably not public to hide how much Gary talked to Sam Bankman F. They all just make a show for the public but the real agenda is behind the curtain.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
When you allow yourself to be a paid puppet, you will eventually become the fall guy!
The SEC was there about to grant a license to that fraud of a company. Then FTX collapsed.
Gensler is too much of a liability now, so they are turning on him, even though he was just following orders.
Orders from Lizzy Warren, lunatic from the Senate!!
Why doesn’t anyone want to prove gensler on his personal relationship with SBF? Him and his father are friends.
Kennedy was probably asked to "look tough" and make it appear as though Gensler is getting his ass handed to him. What a joke. Obvious smoke and mirrors tactics with the softball scripted questions.
@@wonderming1 It did appear that Gensler had no answer for FTX. The guy is more of a politician than a chairmen of a supposed enforcement agengy.
Honest Gary: Sir, we had to let him operate long enough to launder billions and funnel it to my buddies at DNC. That doesn't just happen over night!
would have been nice if Sen Kennedy had asked how many times if Gensler had met SBF at the SEC.
I've stated this on multiple threads, it wouldn't be too difficult to find some criminal intent to indict Gensler.
I finally figured out when he saying he's protecting investors, he means institutional investors. ..Goldman Sachs, Black rock, JP Morgan etc. Not us
I could listen to Sen. Kennedy all day. This man should just admit that an amateur trader beat him senseless.
The strange thing is that the SEC did send someone down to watch FTX. It was the Honorable Chair of the SEC... and he visited FTX a dozen times. 🙃
The reason he didn’t shut them down was they wanted the biggest buying opportunity to occur in crypto, and looks like it will end up being this bear market bottom - whenever there is FUD, someone with more money than you is buying
I wish Kennedy would have asked him, ‘How did Elon identify Sam as a fraud within 10 minutes, after sitting down with him when he (Sam) wanted to buy part of Twitter?’
Gary fails to answer the questions every time. What's he up to?
The John Baluchi look alike contest winner comment. Lmao
Jimmy Cricket Genslers should resign. He's terrible at his so called job..
This is exactly what is needed. Keep it up!
Kennedy is better than any Night Show, never miss you...
Stevie Wonder could have seen that SBF and FTX were out of control. Bottom line.
NOT A GRILLING. THEATRE. WHY ISN"T GENSLER ARRESTED?
His evil smirk at the end says it all...
Hi, what is the best way to make money from crypto trading?
Mrs Charlotte Gifland trading strategy
Wow! I have made a lot of money with Mrs Charlotte Gifland. She's really a professional with her new strategy
@aaronmorgan-lz3bp Please, I'm new at this. How can she be contacted?
Please, how can I get in touch with this Charlotte Gifland?. I've heard a lot about her!
@Charlottegifland
That's her username above
FTX is Citadels child! Hear that Mayo!? Hear that GARY!?
Why do they allow Gensler to put the abbreviation Hon before his name. There's nothing honorable about that guy. It's an insult to the American citizen to allow this.
Mr Kennedy.. Good job Sir💯
Sad thing is Gary talked to FTX on multiple occasions. He let it happen on purpose I believe it!
I wish someone like Senator Kennedy was running the SEC. GG made fun of retail investors with a spoof video when he’s suppose to protect us. The SEC was too busy going after Kim Kardashian but not the market makers or Short sellers
Political theater, talk boldly but do nothing. No one can touch Gensler, he knows it and will continue to do what he's told.
Definitely Political Theater. Nothing is being Done, no accountability. They are all Actors playing their part, shameful and disgraceful.
Gary knew SBFs parents at MIT,, 🤣🤣😂🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
If you look at the history of the relationship between Sam and the regulators, you can see with the naked eye that they were all friends and no one seriously asked them about their business 🤔 I get the impression that all this was played out just to now crush everyone else who is not with them.
Senator Kennedy as always one of the best 👍🏻
You know your fkd when Kennedy says he has great respect for you but calls your associate a runner up in a Belushi look alike contenst.
He was so busy suing Ripple distracting everyone from the true scam that he was apart of by knowingly allowing fraudulent activity.
Defund the sec. Gary is wasting our money
Ginsler was in on it!! He’s friends with Bankman father and mother
Well the looks of someone are their business but fraud is not. Gary let FTX to happen and then he attacks the whole industry in general, claims he has to go according to the books and files a bunch of lawsuits against legit businesses where without any ground. He, and people like him, should be liable for the damage they're causing.
Easy answer Kennedy. He was in on it. Gensler has ties to SBF Gf (Alameda) dad. Heard her dad was his boss at MIT.
Kennedy is doing more to expose the foolishness and arrogance of corruption in our regulatory bodies, because his direct nature and humor make the feeds. Love this guy, keep him in office or promote him, Louisiana. Don't let them touch this guy.
He keeps calling cryptocurrency “securities” when they just lost the ripple case and a judge clearly said cryptocurrency IS NOT a security. Fire this mfer.
Gary met with SBF and asked no questions. What a schmuck.
Defund the SEC💯
They are laughing at retail investors.
Gary was in on it.
I hate when Gensler talks he's so creepy what a creep!
I Absolutely Love Senator Kennedy 😍
Should rename the title to Gensler laughs at congress, again!
Fire his ass he was in cahoots with Sam
The thing that makes me laugh is they are saying why why why...when the biggest and most corrupt person sits infront of them , heart answer the easiest of questions or more precisely refusing to
Gensler is both incompetent and corrupt
Let Gary answer even if you don't like him.
Incompetency is unacceptable at this level. You’re fired!
"15-20k tokens" as an excuse...but there are only 3 major exchanges... Binance Coinbase and FTX. rhe others were billions of dollars smaller.
XRP
thank you, I lost 30000 dollars in ftx. about half my profolio, it'll take me a year or 2 to save it.
thanks for taking 2 years of my hard work and life Sam.
Sorry, but SBF 30 y. old, was support of Biden machinery in 2020. That was published everywhere, Not your keys, not your coins, said "Richard Heart".
Great listening to these grilling but in all honesty nothing will ever happen to these politicians. Nothing will ever happen till we have a revolution.
“4th Runner Up in John Beloshi look a like contest “ 😂😂😂😂
I like how he wants Sam investigated based on his age and looks alone....isnt that discrimination? :P
I still think Sam was just an idiot, and not evil. He wont get any jailtime - not with a good laywer. There were no rules for what he was doing - thats why its the wild west - thats why its a risk.

If any crypto company in tge US was comingling funds, why didn't the SEC enforce against THAT? If they know crypto is "rife" with comingling, then why didn't they do their job??
Why not bring up the numerous meetings that the SEC had with FTC?
This guy is either utterly incompetent or complicit. It's one or the other. As at all other times he's been questioned he hops around the questions & cannot or will not give a straight answer. He absolutely needs to go. Actually a full investigation into his connections with FTX needs to be conducted & action taken if warranted. This is a travesty that needs to be properly dealt with.

How can someone in charge never ever answer a F****n question. ?
This is great.
GET HIM
Gensler looks like Pepe frog meme. He's evasive and should be relieved of his post. The young American electorate will recall these attacks on Crypto and vote accordingly.
Senator Kennedy is the man!
He had enough time to sue multiple other exchanges including Coinbase, but not ftx? Sure.
He needs to be removed!
The world's a stage. Basically he saying to you senator that, "we had to allow somebody to screw up badly so that we could go after the whole market". That's why he keeps mentioning the ENTIRE crypto industry. They gave ftx the green light so that they could do this. Sad

I actually didn't like the way the Congressman raised this. Insulting a man's age and appearance has nothing to do with SBF's appalling actions.
The SEC did fail but its easy to point the finger after the fact. SBF fooled everyone.
Where was the sec? Gensler: "it takes a long time to prepare litigation" So you were preparing to sue ftx? No, he was collaborating with sbf..
The SEC permitted 100 separate mergers for FTX to acquire various licenses from companies. Before they even consider crypto they had grounds to investigate . The very first merger without a board should have been a red flag !@
Takes 23 months to build a case🤔 didn't take the SEC 23 months to bring a lawsuit against XRP or Coinbase or Binance. Gary Gensler needs to get fired!
Say, “No excuse, sir. I was incompetent, utterly without responsibility or even the slightest awareness, and I am so grateful to be unaccountable and totally free of any sort of repercussions for my inexcusable lack of oversight.
Senator Kennedy is the best 😂
Just say it already ..FTX was a Trojan Horse !!
Kennedy has great respect for Gensler?!? That is the problem right there.
Gensler should be in the basement under the jail by now
The senator asks why Gensler didn't send an investigator, but doesn't mention that Gensler went there himself, twice.
Why did he give a broker license, why, why, why
Just fire gary already, so many years yet SEC can't even settle what's security what's commodity. Also, explain how they can allow futures before spot etf!?!?!? Doesn't make sense at all
FIRE DIRTY DIRTY gary NOW
As if "grilling" and not even allowing the dunce to answer. He never answers the question, "where was the SEC?"
Gensler and Bankmanfried.
Their last names are ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.
Gary Gesnler needs to be
Put in prison…. What a joke
That was a soft serve not a grill!! Why was he having planning meetings and gave him a broker dealer license!! Ask Gary that with our vetting him!! Disgusting
He's "Monty Burns" from the Simpsons
To be honest GARY GENSLER is not a right person for that chair..
Did he say he has great respect for Mr. Gantzler? Well, there goes my respect for you, sir.
