Sam Bankman-Fried, former donor to Joe Biden's campaign, is now seeking a pardon from former President Trump after his crypto exchange FTX collapsed, leading to a potential 25-year prison sentence. Bankman-Fried has been making high-profile appearances on conservative media outlets, including an interview on The Tucker Carlson Show. While rumors of a pardon have circulated, insiders remain doubtful about his chances. Bankman-Fried's family is consulting with a lawyer connected to Trump's past campaigns, but the clemency effort has not gained much momentum. Despite Trump's previous support for crypto, Bankman-Fried's unpopularity and the lack of prioritization from the wider crypto community make a pardon unlikely.
