Sam Bankman-Fried’s Parents Scheming to Get Son Pardoned by Trump

Sean Moran 30 Jan 2025

The parents of disgraced former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried are reportedly scheming to get Sam pardoned by President Donald Trump.

Stanford Law School Professors Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried reportedly had meetings recently with lawyers and others in Trump’s orbit to have Sam Bankman-Fried receive clemency.

Bankman-Fried was sentenced last March to 25 years after being convicted of five counts of conspiracy and two counts of wire fraud.

The former CEO of the digital currency exchange FTX has made the case that his sentence was “draconian” as FTX customers have largely recovered most of the money they had lost.

Ryan Salame, a former FTX executive who was sentenced to more than seven years in prison, also seeks a pardon.

It may also be more difficult for Bankman-Fried to receive clemency, as his parents have reportedly “exploited their access and influence” to make money from FTX.

If Trump is at all serious about wanting to make the US a haven for cryptocurrency transactions, he damned well better not pardon Bankman-Fried or anyone else associated with FTX, nor even commute their sentences.  Letting a Ponzi-scheme operator who, for a while, brought cryptocurrency trading into disrepute by his cupidity off the hook sends exactly the wrong signal to cryptocurrency traders, ordinary people interested in crypto, or anyone who might want to set-up a fiduciarily sound version of what FTX purported to be.
And when they behead your own people in the wars which are to come, then you will know what this was all about.

If Trump pardons this dirtbag, he is ABSOLUTELY part of the DEEP STATE.

NO JOKE!!!

In his 1st term he eased off his rhetoric about everything.  It was then that I thought the DEEP STATE made him an offer he could not refuse, like the elimination of one of his children, or something harsh to tamp him down and quiet him.

Bankman Freed was far more than just a Ponzi scheme operator.  I think there is sufficient proof that he was a CONDUIT FOR US TAXPAYERS' FUNDS TO UKRAINE BACK TO THE POCKETS OF DEMOCOMMIE POLITICIANS, and with that likelihood, he should serve every day of his 25 years and not receive any early out for good behavior.

As it is, Trump is already screwing the pooch!  Yeah, that's right.  His bull in the china shop approach to reducing the resources working for the federal government WILL RESULT IN THE REPUBLICANS LOSING BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS COME THE ELECTION IN 2026, and then his 3rd impeachment, which will have both Houses of Congress voting for his removal. 

There is a right way to approach reducing the federal resource numbers, and there is a wrong way.  Trump/Musk's approach is an extreme wrong way, and it will absolutely damage the Republican numbers in 2026.  What he is doing is beyond foolish.  Musk can get away with many things in leading his companies because they are his companies, but the government sector operates very much in a different manor.

My wife, a staunch Republican, is already saying she is voting Democrat in 2026.  She has NEVER voted for a Democrat.  NO JOKE!!!  She indicated everyone she is working with is terrified.  These are all highly credentialed physicians, many working their *ss off in their roles, and they are terrified.  There is absolutely NO REASON to send daily emails threatening the workforce for the federal government as Trump/Musk are doing.

Trump and Musk cannot conduct themselves in this manor and not expect backlash.  I see 2026 being a overwhelming victory for the Democommies, and it did not need to happen, not at all!!!!!!

I have spent a lifetime working with corporations and government agencies streamlining them to optimum staffing levels, and in almost every case, never had to put the resources in a position of feeling threatened, and in every case, I achieved or exceeded the desired objective of reducing operating expenses.

Again, what Trump and Musk are doing is assinine!!!
