- tptacekThis story doesn't mean anything. SBF has been "seeking" a pardon for over a year now. There's no due process consideration for obtaining a pardon; "applying" for one doesn't get you anything more than asking for one on Twitter would --- given the current administration, asking on Twitter might get you further! I don't think SBF's case is slipping the administration's mind.
- Tangurena2Staff working for Giuliani reported that pardons cost $2,000,000.
- YizahiWell, he knows the price for this service - you donate 2 billion real USD to Mr. Orange private shittoken scam "fund" and you go free. He should scrounge his pockets or ask his cronies to prepare a required fee.https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/23/pardon-binance-founder-cz-tr...
- beastman82Unless he's the only rich person on earth who can't figure out how to bribe, this will happen.
- yaloginI was expecting this to be done by now as the administration is not worried about optics, so not sure what’s holding it up.
- jihadjihad> Trump has pardoned a number of people who have donated large sums to his political campaigns.It will be interesting to see how he'll be able to spin his well-documented donations to Democratic causes and sell that to the current administration:"He personally gave at least $40 million to politicians and political action committees ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, mostly to Democrats and liberal-leaning groups, making him the second overall top donor to Democrats, only behind George Soros, according to the Center for Responsive Politics" [0].0: https://time.com/6241262/sam-bankman-fried-political-donatio...
- mattasI had no idea there was an _application_ you could fill out for a pardon.
- christoff12I'm surprised it's taken this long.
- AnimatsDoes the White House take Visa for pardons?
- ortusduxDo pardons require a full confession?

- b0skRemember Sam -- Trevor Milton got a pardon via hiring Pam Bondi's brother as his lawyer.
- AgentMEThis isn't that surprising after it was reported on that he had notes about claiming to "come out as a Republican and against the woke agenda" as a PR plan to defend himself. (https://gizmodo.com/sbf-floated-coming-out-republican-tucker...) I wonder if Trump is selling pardons and whether SBF still has the means for it. It's depressing that the US's state of affairs is such that this might be a workable strategy for him.
