Incoming AZ Secretary of State Adrian Fontes Gets Triggered, Staffers Escort Him Away From TGP Reporter – Claims Machines DID NOT Fail On Election Day

 

The Gateway Pundit correspondent spoke with incoming Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, who was inaugurated Thursday morning following the questionable Midterm Election in Maricopa County, Pinal County, and likely other counties across the state.

 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Katie Hobbs, Kris Mayes, and others with suspicious election wins gave their inaugural addresses yesterday. After the speeches, Katie Hobbs was nowhere to be found, and a pool of media was held off by security until she was gone.

 

As we reported, after the speeches, Katie Hobbs was nowhere to be found, and a pool of media was held off by security until she was gone.

 

During the ceremony, Fontes went on a bizarre, Biden-Esque rant accusing Republicans who care about election integrity of threatening election officials. “domestic terrorism,” labeling them “anathema to the constitutional order.” He then stated, “honor and integrity will replace conspiracy and fascism.”

 

The Gateway Pundit reported on the massive voter disenfranchisement that occurred in Maricopa County and Pinal County’s 2022 Midterm Elections.

 

On Election Day in Maricopa County, over 50% of tabulators and printers failed the moment that polls opened, causing voters to be turned away from the polls and creating long wait times of four hours or more. According to cybersecurity expert Clay Parikh’s testimony, this was an intentional act aimed at disenfranchising Republican voters who turned out 3:1 for Trump-Endorsed candidates. Many of the thousands of voters disenfranchised by this catastrophe were forced to vote provisionally.

 

Fontes refused to call this a failure during our interview, claiming that it proved “you can’t counterfeit Maricopa County’s ballots,” and the system is “actually better than the system that people would expect.”

 

Election Director Scott Jarrett’s conflicting and dishonest sworn testimony in Kari Lake’s election trial states that this was caused by a ballot printer failure and that “it would have been a mistake.”

 

The recount in Pinal County found hundreds of new votes, heavily favoring Abe Hamadeh and likely other Republican candidates, whose races were not recounted.

 

This is a massive and concerning number of votes for a recount.

SBF Seeks Access To $450 Million In Seized Robinhood Shares To Pay His Legal Fees

 

Sam Bankman-Fried is fighting to persuade a US court that he should be able to access Robinhood shares worth around $450 million to help pay for his legal fees. The problem: the Department of Justice - which does not believe the 56 million shares of Robinhood were property of the bankrupt FTX estate - moved on Wednesday to seize the shares. Another problem: both FTX and BlockFi are also laying claim to the shares as well. And while FTX’s creditors hope the shares can help make them whole, Bankman-Fried said he needs the funds to cover his legal fees.

 

Lawyers for the disgraced former CEO in a Delaware court filing on Thursday that the 56.3 million Robinhood shares should be returned to Bankman-Fried because the company that owns them, Emergent Fidelity Technology Ltd, is not part of the bankruptcy estate (at least not yet). Bankman-Fried owns 90% of Emergent. He and former FTX chief technology officer Gary Wang borrowed $546 million from Alameda Research (in other words used money stolen from FTX clients) to buy the Robinhood shares, according to court filings. Robinhood’s shares closed at $8.11 on Thursday, giving the stake a value of $456 million.

 

“Mr. Bankman-Fried has not been found criminally or civilly liable for fraud, and it is improper for the FTX Debtors to ask the Court to simply assume that everything Mr. Bankman-Fried ever touched is presumptively fraudulent,” his lawyers said in the filing. They added that Bankman-Fried’s need to pay his legal bills is greater than the “economic loss” that FTX faces, citing several legal precedents; we are confident that FTX clients would certainly beg to differ.

 

"Mr. Bankman-Fried requires some of these funds to pay for his criminal defense," the filing read, noting that the disgraced FTX founder is “facing potential criminal liability.” Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty to all charges, including wire fraud and campaign finance violations, in New York Tuesday.

 

Bankman-Fried’s move is the latest in an ongoing ownership dispute over the shares. The equities, once worth more than $600 million, have plunged since they’ve been stuck in legal limbo.

 

On Thursday, court revealed that more than 56 million Robinhood shares are on the line, worth a little more than $450 million as of Friday’s prices. The shares belong to Emergent Fidelity Technologies, of which Bankman-Fried is the 90% stockholder, the filing added.

 

Representing Bankman-Fried in the bankruptcy proceedings is Gregory T. Donilon from Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads LLP.

 

Bankman-Fried’s criminal lawyers are Cohen & Gresser’s Christian R. Everdell and Mark Stewart Cohen, who recently represented Ghislaine Maxwell in her sex trafficking case.

 

Bankman-Fried’s personal legal fees are not public, but Sullivan and Cromwell LLC, the firm leading FTX’s restructuring, accepted a $12 million retainer from the exchange before it filed for Chapter 11 on Nov. 11, 2022. As of Nov. 3, 2022, the firm had already cashed in more than $3.4 million of its retainer, nearly 30%.
