Cryptocurrency mogul Sam Bankman-Fried, once a prominent Democratic donor, is now embroiled in controversy as he seeks a pardon from the Trump administration, according to a report by the New York Times.
Bankman-Fried's parents, Joe Bankman and Barbara Fried, along with a small group of supporters, are advocating for his pardon. This comes after Bankman-Fried was convicted of fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering related to the collapse of his crypto exchange, FTX, resulting in a 25-year prison sentence.
