Things didn’t work as planned for Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). The White House has confirmed that President Donald Trump has no intention of granting a pardon to former FTX CEO Sam Bankman, dismissing the convicted executive’s recent public appeals for clemency. SBF, who is currently serving a 25-year sentence at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn following his 2023 conviction, had recently escalated a social media campaign seemingly aimed at securing presidential intervention.
According to a White House official, the administration’s stance remains unchanged despite Bankman-Fried’s near-daily posts on X defending his tenure at the collapsed exchange.
No pardon for Sam Bankman.
You honestly have to respect how far SBF is willing to go in attempt to get a pardon. I suspect there are very few things he wouldn’t do for it. Trump could ask him to literally lick the bottom of his shoes and he would. https://t.co/eVj1QEYy03
