Sam Bankman‑Fried applies for a presidential pardon from Trump
Sam Bankman-Fried, the former FTX chief convicted of misappropriating roughly $10 billion from customers, formally filed a petition for a presidential pardon with the U.S. Department of Justice. He is serving a 25-year federal prison sentence after convictions on fraud and related charges tied to FTX’s collapse. President Donald Trump has previously said he would not grant Bankman-Fried clemency, but the formal pardon request now places that decision with the White House. A pardon would immediately end Bankman-Fried’s sentence and set a high-profile precedent for clemency in major white-collar fraud cases.
Sam Bankman-Fried, the former crypto billionaire who orchestrated one of the largest financial frauds in history, officially asked President Donald Trump for a pardon, according to the Justice Department’s website. https://cnn.it/4xlBMnS

waiting-in-ny.bsky.social2He’s a crypto-scam criminal, of course he’ll get a pardon. Also, why would the DOJ put this request on their website? 🤔
Ruven2Rules for thee, but not for me
tastewart 🦋2How much can he pay? Everyone knows that this administration (the felon) pardons for a fee! How about we make it a law that FELON’s should not be president and FELONS sure as hell shouldn’t have power to pardon!
Dixy Normiss2If a pardon is paid for then the next dem admin should consider it null and void and put them back in prison
