Trump rõ ràng từ chối ân xá SBF, việc xem xét tuân thủ trong ngành công nghiệp tiền điện tử tiếp tục sâu sắc hơn

【Block Rhythm】Regarding whether FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) can obtain a presidential pardon, there is now a new conclusion. US President Trump recently stated unambiguously during a media interview — he will not consider pardoning SBF.

This cryptocurrency industry figure, who was convicted of serious crimes including misappropriation of customer funds and financial fraud in 2023, now finds the path to early prison release through executive pardon blocked. During the interview, reporters specifically asked about whether multiple high-profile incarcerated individuals could potentially receive pardons, with SBF among them, but he was clearly excluded. Trump’s stance is firm: he has no intention of exercising pardon power for individuals such as SBF.

An interesting contrast is that musician Diddy also sent a letter requesting a pardon, which was similarly rejected. While Trump has in recent years exercised pardon power for some political allies or individuals fitting his narrative of “politicized justice,” SBF clearly does not fall into this category.

What does this mean? Simply put, SBF’s criminal liability and civil accountability process will not change due to political factors and will continue to proceed. This will also have a lasting impact on the cryptocurrency industry’s compliance and regulatory discussions — the FTX case, as the most emblematic cautionary tale in industry history, its warning effect remains far from dissipated.
