The Senate unanimously approved a nonbinding resolution declaring that former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried should "under no circumstances" receive a presidential pardon or commutation.
One of Sam Bankman-Fried's final viable avenues to overturn his conviction closed Friday after a federal appeals court upheld both his fraud conviction and 25-year prison sentence, keeping the disgraced FTX founder behind bars.
Sam Bankman-Fried has formally petitioned for a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump, even as Trump has publicly indicated he does not intend to grant clemency to the convicted FTX founder.
