[SBF Praises Trump for Pardoning Former Honduran President and Seeks His Own Pardon] Former FTX CEO SBF (Sam Bankman-Fried) praised Trump on social media Tuesday for pardoning former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández, stating that 'few people are more deserving of freedom than him.' Hernández was sentenced to 45 years in prison for drug-related charges. SBF himself is serving a 25-year sentence for fraud and conspiracy involving the misappropriation of billions of dollars in customer funds and is hoping for a pardon from Trump. Analysts believe that due to SBF's $5.2 million donation to Biden's campaign team, his chances of receiving a pardon are relatively low. Currently, SBF's appeal case is still being reviewed by the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals, with results expected next year.
