Odaily Planet Daily News: Lawyer John Deaton, who supports XRP, questions the relationship between SEC Chairman Gary Gensler and FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). Deaton's remarks come in response to the SEC's announcement of record financial relief obtained in its enforcement actions for fiscal year 2024. John Deaton posted on X criticizing Gary Gensler for holding private meetings with SBF while refusing to hold similar meetings with U.S. cryptocurrency executives like Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Kraken's Jesse Powell, indicating bias within the SEC. Deaton also pointed out that SBF's $10 million donations to politicians might have been another reason for FTX's involvement in regulatory negotiations, further criticizing Gary Gensler, suggesting that this financial connection could be behind the SEC's favorable treatment of FTX.
