White House Spokesperson: Trump Has No Intention of Pardoning SBF

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has launched an effort to seek a presidential pardon while serving his sentence, attempting to influence Trump through social media. However, the White House responded that Trump has no intention of pardoning him, and this effort appears doomed to fail.

According to BlockBeats, on February 25, Forbes reported that convicted FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried is undertaking a futile attempt to secure a presidential pardon.

Despite serving a 25-year sentence in federal prison, he continues to post attacks on 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 seems destined to go unanswered. In response to a request for comment, a White House spokesperson reiterated that Trump has no intention of pardoning Bankman-Fried.
