Summary
Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced FTX founder serving a 25-year sentence for massive fraud, has quietly filed a presidential pardon request—still pending as of 2026. Despite this, President Trump recently told the New York Times he has no intention of pardoning figures like Bankman-Fried, even as he’s granted over 200 pardons in his terms. With no official updates from either the White House or Justice Department, the case remains a legal and political puzzle. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
