Sam Bankman‑Fried applies for a presidential pardon from Trump
Sam Bankman-Fried, the convicted FTX founder serving a 25-year federal sentence for fraud and conspiracy, formally filed a clemency petition Monday seeking a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump. The petition asks Trump to forgive his federal convictions and cites progress managing the FTX bankruptcy estate, and the Justice Department must review the request before any White House decision. President Trump had previously said he would not pardon Bankman-Fried, so a grant would represent an uncommon use of executive clemency in a high-profile white-collar fraud case and could reshape debate over pardons for financial crimes.
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.social3He’s a crypto-scam criminal, of course he’ll get a pardon. Also, why would the DOJ put this request on their website? 🤔
Dixy Normiss3If a pardon is paid for then the next dem admin should consider it null and void and put them back in prison
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!
