Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of FTX, is at the center of a new controversy as his parents, Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, are reportedly seeking a presidential pardon for him. This comes amid heightened attention on crypto-related pardons, especially after Donald Trump granted clemency to the Silk Road founder.
Details regarding direct communication with Trump or his administration remain unclear, but the efforts by SBF's parents highlight the ongoing discussions and potential implications for the crypto industry.
