Sam Bankman-Fried devised a plan to promote Tom Brady as a potential presidential candidate in 2024, aiming to displace Donald Trump from the GOP candidacy. Bankman-Fried reportedly went as far as to assign his team to poll Americans about their thoughts on Brady's candidature, while expressing his desire to Brady directly in a private conversation. The plan was reported to have hatched before the fall of FTX and involved pitting Trump against his friend and "great guy" Tom Brady.
According to the report, Bankman-Fried also expressed this desire to Brady in a private conversation and believed that Brady could win. However, the plan came amidst a complex relationship between Brady and Bankman-Fried, involving their promotion of the now-defunct FTX crypto exchange company and the subsequent class-action lawsuit naming Brady. Furthermore, the pair had a long history with former President Trump, who had previously offered his daughter Ivanka Trump to date the football player, solidifying their public and personal links.

Bankman-Fried needs to stick to finance, not presidential campaigns.

This is ridiculous, a football player as a presidential candidate? No thank you.

This is just another attempt to distract from real political issues.
