FTX Founder’s Parents Seek Trump’s Pardon Following Ross Ulbricht’s Release
Sam Bankman-Fried’s parents, Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried, have reportedly started taking steps to secure a presidential pardon for their son. This move follows the recent decision by US President Donald Trump to commute the sentence of Ross Ulbricht, also known as Dread Pirate Roberts, who was serving a life imprisonment term for his role in the Silk Road case.
According to sources, Bankman and Fried have been engaging with legal experts and individuals believed to be connected to the Trump administration. This effort is aimed at securing their son’s early release from prison. The 25-year prison term received by Sam Bankman-Fried includes charges related to the FTX collapse and the failure of Alameda Research.
It is essential to note that unlike Ulbricht, who has garnered widespread public support for his pardon, Bankman-Fried has struggled to gain significant backing. This lack of support stems from claims that most victims of the exchange’s downfall have been compensated, making it difficult to garner public sympathy.
