- Sam Bankman-Fried requested a pardon from the Trump administration in 2026 following his imprisonment.
- He was sentenced for orchestrating one of the largest financial frauds linked to the collapse of FTX.
- Bankman-Fried denies wrongdoing and claims customers received more than full compensation for losses.
- Donald Trump, once a crypto skeptic, has pardoned multiple figures tied to cryptocurrency crimes and engaged with the industry.
Sam and I argued more than once about the same thing: his refusal to accept ANY responsibility for what he did. Not once did he admit he’d done anything wrong — even after I told him repeatedly he could never begin to redeem himself without that acknowledgment. You don’t earn a pardon when you can’t admit, even to yourself, that you did wrong.— Michael Avenatti, on X, criticizing the pardon effort related to Sam Bankman-Fried; former attorney of Stormy Daniels
