The imprisoned former CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, is seeking a potential lifeline: a pardon from President Trump. In a recent interview, he painted his conviction as a victim of Biden's anti-crypto stance.

Bankman-Fried, once a billionaire and influential figure in the crypto world, now finds himself behind bars, hoping for clemency. Despite his significant political contributions to the Democratic party in the past, including support for Biden in the 2020 election, he is now banking on Trump's reputation for controversial pardons.

The possibility of Trump stepping in to pardon Bankman-Fried seems uncertain, given the complexity of his legal situation and political history. With contrasting loyalties between the two administrations, Bankman-Fried's fate hangs in the balance.

While the crypto community eagerly awaits the outcome, Bankman-Fried continues to maintain his innocence, countering the allegations brought against him in court. Time will tell whether his plea for exoneration will resonate with the former president.
