Sam Bankman-Fried, the jailed former CEO of FTX serving a 25-year sentence for fraud and conspiracy, has been actively seeking a presidential pardon. He has made repeated appeals to conservative audiences and allies, hoping to sway support. However, a White House spokesperson reaffirmed that President Donald Trump stated in January that he does not intend to pardon Bankman-Fried, nor politicians like Robert Menendez or Nicolás Maduro. The decision appears firm despite SBF’s outreach efforts.
