Sam Bankman-Fried, the disgraced founder of FTX, sharply changed his rhetoric, criticizing former President Joe Biden while expressing support for Donald Trump.
Bankman-Fried Sides with Trump
Once a major donor to the Democratic Party, Sam Bankman-Fried expressed disappointment with the Biden administration. In a recent interview, he stated: “I became really frustrated and disappointed with what I saw of the Biden administration and the Democratic Party.”
Attempts to Secure a Pardon
Bankman-Fried, serving a 25-year prison sentence for fraud, is seeking a pardon from Trump. His family is in talks, hoping for the same outcome achieved for other high-profile figures in the crypto world. However, experts remain skeptical about their chances of success.
Political Games and Crypto Opportunism
Formerly a significant donor to Democrats, Bankman-Fried admitted to secretly financing Republicans, aiming to influence crypto regulation. Experts view his political strategy as a move to secure a pardon, though it remains doubtful.
Sam Bankman-Fried has maneuvered politically, aligning with Donald Trump. The question of a pardon remains open, and his influence on public opinion is not as strong as in other cases. Considering the severity of the crime, Bankman-Fried's ambitions seem unlikely.
