Latest developments on the FTX bankruptcy case: On January 9th (UTC+8), U.S. President Trump confirmed in an interview that he does not intend to exercise clemency for former CEO SBF, who was sentenced due to FTX's collapse. This statement essentially closes the possibility of SBF receiving a presidential pardon.

Trump also explicitly stated that he would not consider pardons for other publicly controversial figures, including musician Shawn Combs and former Senator Robert Menendez. This means that SBF's prison sentence and subsequent judicial appeals are entirely dependent on court rulings and procedures.

For the crypto market, this signal is very clear—the regulatory authorities' stance on exchange violations has not shifted. The FTX case serves as a wake-up call within the industry, continuing to remind all participants of the importance of compliant operations.

Ha, SBF is really out of the game now. The path to pardon is completely blocked. Alright, this is a warning sign. Play it honestly with trading profits. SBF is done, but isn't this good news for the crypto circle? Clearing out the old. No pardon? Then just stay put quietly. This time, no one can save you. Now all leveraged exchanges have to tremble. Regulations are determined. SBF is basically a sacrificial victim of FTX. Other exchanges should watch out.

SBF is really out of the game now, the path to pardon is completely cut off. --- Alright, this is the signal—exchanges must be honest and compliant, no backdoors. --- Haha, what are you expecting again? It should have been like this a long time ago. --- Regulatory attitude hasn't changed, which is actually good for us—at least it's clear now. --- Forget it, SBF. Accept your fate, everyone. --- Compliance, compliance, compliance—I'm already tired of hearing this word. --- It's a classic case: you reap what you sow. I thought Trump would let him go. --- Now the market should settle down; no one is trying to find loopholes anymore. --- Really, the FTX incident should serve as a lesson for everyone.

Well, SBF is really out of options now; the path to pardon is completely blocked. --- I knew long ago that Trump wouldn't touch him; the FTX pit is too deep. --- So, exchanges should just be honest and not think about turning things around with political connections. --- It's a bit of a pity for SBF, but he deserved it... embezzling customer funds, tsk tsk. --- Regulatory attitude hasn't loosened, which is actually good for the entire ecosystem—cleaning things up. --- Damn, some people were still hoping Trump would pardon him if he took office, haha. --- Once it's locked in, it's locked in. Accept the verdict; this is the final chapter. --- The key is, how many potential non-compliant players have been scared off by the FTX incident. --- Honestly, greed is never satisfied; trying to swallow the elephant alone, you can't blame anyone else for messing up. --- Now I understand, no matter what political background you have, it can't save you if you're truly illegal.

SBF, this guy is truly hopeless; the pardon door is completely closed... --- I'm tired of hearing the same compliance talk, but this time we really need to take it seriously. --- Haha, even Trump wouldn't give him a chance, which shows how serious the matter is... --- The exchanges are optimistic, this is what you call a lesson learned. --- I just want to know if there's any chance of a reversal later, how will the court rule? --- Damn, FTX's mess still needs to get worse; we have to keep an eye on it. --- If the regulatory attitude doesn't shift, then let's just trade honestly. --- No pardon... forget it, this guy has accepted his fate. --- This matter is actually good news for the ecosystem, even though it sounds frustrating.

Oh, SBF really has no chance this time. Trump directly passed He's not on the pardon list, so he's got to obediently go to jail Compliance is the way to go, everyone, don't follow FTX's example SBF's chance of a comeback is basically zero, accept your fate Now all exchanges have to play it straight, no savior

SBF is really finished this time; Trump directly nailed the coffin shut. There's no chance to even seek sympathy.
