BlockBeats News, February 25 — According to Forbes, convicted FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is launching a futile effort to seek a presidential pardon in the United States. Despite serving a 25-year sentence in federal prison, he continues to post attacks against opponents often mentioned by the MAGA camp, such as the “deep state.”
Although Bankman-Fried has not explicitly stated his goal, his social media campaign’s purpose is clear: to persuade U.S. President Trump to release him from federal prison. Considering that Trump has previously pardoned several well-known individuals convicted of financial crimes, this strategy does not seem entirely illogical.
However, for the White House, Bankman-Fried’s request appears destined to fail. In response to a request for comment, a White House spokesperson reiterated that Trump has no intention of pardoning Bankman-Fried.
