Fox News contributor Miranda Devine comments on the timing of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried's arrest just hours before he was set to testify before Congress.
MIRANDA DEVINE:
I just immediately smelled a rat. This is extremely suspicious timing. There's no reason for them to have nabbed him there and then. They could have waited a few hours. The idea has been floated around that he was a flight risk. I mean, he's been there for weeks. If he was a flight risk, he would have left. His mother was in court in the Bahamas on Tuesday morning, and she just laughed out loud at the idea that he would be a fugitive. So that doesn't pass the sniff test.
