Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of the defunct crypto exchange FTX, has become a central figure in rumors about a possible presidential pardon. The speculation intensified following comments from billionaire Elon Musk.

Charges and Sentence

The failed crypto exchange FTX was convicted on all seven charges after a five-week trial concluding in November 2023. As a result, Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in prison, despite the U.S. government's request for a term of 40 to 50 years. His legal team had argued for a more lenient sentence of just six years.

Elon Musk's Position

Speculation about a potential pardon gained traction after comments from Tesla CEO Elon Musk on social media platform X. Musk tweeted that he would be 'shocked if this doesn’t happen.'

Predictions and Perspectives

Despite Musk’s confident prediction, the chances of a pardon for Bankman-Fried seem low. According to the prediction market platform Polymarket, the probability of President Biden granting such a pardon is only 16%. This indicates that market participants believe the likelihood of such an event is minimal.

With upcoming bankruptcy proceedings for FTX set to begin in January 2025, speculation about a possible pardon for Sam Bankman-Fried continues. However, experts suggest the probability of this happening remains low.
