Bankman-Fried is serving a 25-year prison sentence for fraud-related convictions tied to the collapse of FTX. However, President Donald Trump previously said in January that he would not pardon him, a position the White House reiterated on Monday. While Trump has granted clemency to some crypto industry figures, Bankman-Fried\u2019s request currently appears unlikely to succeed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<section>\n<div>\n<h3>Was this writing helpful?<\/h3>\n<ul data-post-id=\"569100\">\n<li> <\/li>\n<li> <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Story Ends Here<\/p>\n<div>\n<h3>Trust with CoinPedia:<\/h3>\n<p>CoinPedia has been delivering accurate and timely cryptocurrency and blockchain updates since 2017.
