Published by

President Donald Trump told The New York Times he will not pardon jailed FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, who is serving a 25-year sentence for fraud and conspiracy, and is appealing his conviction. SBF had once donated millions to political campaigns, including $5.2 million to the Biden campaign, but Trump made clear a pardon isn’t coming. Trump also defended his increasingly pro-crypto position, stating that supporting digital assets helped him attract voters and added that he has “come to like crypto” as its adoption grows.
