SBF Seeks Trump Clemency in Long-Shot Pardon Bid
BeInCrypto reports that FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried formally submitted a presidential pardon application via the DOJ, amplifying his long-shot bid for freedom as Trump has repeatedly rejected clemency. He is serving a 25-year sentence for fraud related to the FTX collapse, while the bankruptcy estate has distributed billions to creditors. The DOJ will review the request under standard procedures, appeals continue, and Polymarket prices the odds of a 2026 pardon at about 7%.
