The US Senate has passed a resolution opposing the pardon of FTX founder Sam Bankman Fried

The United States Senate has unanimously passed a non binding resolution that explicitly states that FTX founder Sam Bankman Fried should not receive a presidential pardon or commutation of sentence under any circumstances. The resolution was pushed by Senators Cynthia Lummis and Ruben Gallego. Sam Bankman Fried was convicted in November 2023 on seven charges related to the collapse of FTX and is expected to be released as early as around 2044. US President Trump stated in January this year that there are no plans to pardon Sam Bankman Fried.
