SBF Seeks Trump Pardon With Republican Pivot

Sam Bankman-Fried (also known as SBF), the former CEO of the bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, wants a pardon from President Trump. The disgraced former executive, who is currently serving out a 25-year sentence in federal prison for his role in the collapse, posted an X thread on Thursday praising Trump and his pro-crypto stance, in addition to claiming that he’s actually been a Republican since 2022.
In the thread, SBF claimed that former President Biden “bungled crypto,” notably by appointing Gary Gensler as SEC chair, who went on to become the biggest perceived villain of the crypto industry due to his enforcement of traditional securities regulations on crypto assets. Additionally, Bankman-Fried spouted off about a large number of other Republican talking points, such as the ineffectiveness of lockdown policies during COVID, various “insane Dem woke policies,” and the politicization of the Department of Justice by the Biden administration to attack Trump and others.
“The Dems may control trad media. But they don’t control the truth,” said SBF in the final post of the thread.

He embarrassed a lot of rich, powerful people. I'll be surprised if he gets a pardon.

Agreed, but Trump has already pardoned his fair share of bad hombres. Wouldn't be surprising if this works.

How can he help Trump?
Guy donated over 100 million across the spectrum.. During the investigation they donated 22 million dollars to Republicans candidates in 2022 alone.
Political parties didn't matter to him... It was all about who he could bribe

I was told SBF would never be convicted, let alone get sentenced to a long jail term, let alone serve that term.
