The U.S. Senate passed a nonbinding resolution without objection opposing clemency for FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. The move came after Bankman-Fried asked for clemency, according to CoinDesk. The vote also followed pardons issued by Donald Trump months earlier to other prominent crypto figures, including former Binance chief Changpeng Zhao and Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht. While the resolution does not carry legal force, it shows clear opposition in the Senate to granting relief to the former FTX executive.
