Recent reports indicate that U.S. President Trump has shown little enthusiasm for issuing a pardon to Sam Bankman-Fried, despite ongoing lobbying efforts from supporters. This development carries significant implications for the cryptocurrency industry's relationship with federal policy. The stance reflects broader questions about how the administration will approach crypto enforcement and sentencing matters moving forward.

SBF is really in trouble now; I thought Trump was backing him.

SBF really might be out of luck this time... Even Trump didn't give face, which shows that the topic in the crypto circle still isn't strong enough.

SBF's chances are probably gone this time; even Trump isn't on board.

SBF is really out of the game now, and his sponsors have also wasted their efforts.

SBF is completely finished this time. Without Trump's pardon, it's basically prison time... The crypto world has really offended the federal government this time.

SBF, this guy should be going to jail. Don't expect anything from Trump.

ngl, the pardon calculus here is... arguably more about signaling than actual SBF redemption, right? path dependency on how this admin treats crypto defendants sets precedent that's gonna haunt us for years. sub-optimal incentive structures if they're just selective about who gets mercy tbh

nah, sbf's not getting the pardon pass. honestly? network needs this signal – slashing risk for the entire ecosystem if feds start looking soft on fraud. consensus finality on this one, tbh.
