Odaily Planet Daily reports that the White House recently reiterated that U.S. President Donald Trump currently has no plans to pardon FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). Although SBF has been frequently posting on social media recently, attempting to garner political support, these efforts have not yet yielded results.
It is reported that SBF has been posting almost daily on X platform over the past few weeks, expressing support for Trump and his economic policies, criticizing the Democratic Party, and expressing dissatisfaction with the judge handling his case. He has also repeatedly claimed that “FTX has always been solvent,” but has not officially filed for a pardon.
Earlier media reports indicated that Trump had no intention of pardoning SBF. A White House official later reaffirmed this stance, citing Trump’s statement in an interview in January this year that he has no plans to pardon several well-known individuals, including SBF. However, the White House did not specify whether there might be policy changes in the future.
Although Trump has pardoned some well-known figures related to the crypto industry since taking office, analysts believe that the likelihood of SBF, who donated about $5.2 million to Biden’s campaign in 2020, receiving a pardon remains low.
