I am not sure I buy this assumption yet, I mean there is still very much a possibility that because you're the 2nd biggest exchange in the world that people would be using it and for differenet things. Could money that was donated to Ukraine make it back into FTX and SBF and he donate it back to the government for his own benefits?
Sure, but I don't see evidence that there is systematic money laundering going on

This is a stupid claim.
FTX did get used to process crypto donations early on, because the Ukrainians setting it up needed an exchange to turn that crypto back into fiat for the Ukrainian government to spend.
That's completely different from claiming that US taxpayer funds got sent to FTX. And it's pretty obvious that the billions going to Ukraine are getting spent on war, because Ukraine is winning. Hell, so much of those billions are in the form of weapons, weapons that certainly are being used to great affect to kill Russian soldiers by the tens of thousands.
