Sam Bankman-Fried has publicly expressed support for Donald Trump's policies on energy and crypto regulation, sparking speculation that he may be seeking a presidential pardon.
The FTX founder made the comments while in prison, praising Trump's handling of these issues as a way to 'save' the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Bankman-Fried's remarks add to a series of pro-Trump statements he has made since his imprisonment, including claims that US gas prices were lower under Trump's administration and support for recent military action against Iran.
