@TechCrunch Phone call interview with Sam about the Trump pardon

@Forbes And he will get one as long as he donates to trumps PAC

@Forbes Such audacity asking for pardon. I don’t want to believe Trump will allow this

@Forbes Hahahahahaha!!!!

@TechCrunch the pardon application is just effective altruism applied to personal liberty
@Forbes He looks like a serial killer.

@Forbes Might want to request a haircut while he is at it too. 😑 #NoPardon

@TechCrunch

@Forbes Screw him. Does not deserve to be pardoned.

@Forbes The pardon application from Sam Bankman-Fried highlights how high-profile financial crime cases continue to test the boundaries of executive clemency under Donald Trump, especially in politically sensitive prosecutions.

@Forbes

@Forbes

@TechCrunch To apply for a pardon, apparently you no longer must admit guilt. Whoops.

@TechCrunch Let him rot

@Forbes SBF: Dear Donald Trump, I still have millions in offshore accounts.

@TechCrunch And of course he needs to be given some tens of millions from that Trump’s 1,8 billion Crooks Fund.

@Forbes Nice

Sam Bankman-Fried is serving 25 years for fraud and has now formally applied for a presidential pardon from Trump.
The question isn't whether he wants one—every convicted person would.
The real question is: Should white-collar criminals ever receive pardons for crimes that cost investors billions?

@TechCrunch I mean if that Rascal Hunter Biden got a Full Pardon... then surely Trump could have mercy on cheeky SBF? 🤔
