Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX who is currently jailed, is reportedly seeking clemency from former President Donald Trump. Recent meetings involving his parents, both Stanford Law School professors, and legal figures linked to Trump, have stirred speculation about an impending pardon.
Bankman-Fried, a prominent figure in the crypto industry, faced a 25-year sentence in March 2024 due to his criminal conviction. This move has attracted significant attention, highlighting the intersection of high-profile legal strategies and political affiliations.
