US Senate unanimously opposes clemency for Sam Bankman-Fried
The US Senate unanimously passed a non-binding resolution stating that FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, or SBF, should not receive a presidential pardon or a sentence reduction “under any circumstances.” The measure cleared the chamber by unanimous consent, with no senator raising an objection.
SBF was previously convicted on seven counts tied to the collapse of FTX and is expected to be released no earlier than around 2044. Before the resolution, he had sought clemency. WuBlockchain also noted that US President Donald Trump had already pardoned crypto figures including Changpeng Zhao and Ross Ulbricht.
