Internet reports that Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), former CEO and co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, took a pro-Trump stance in his first interview after being jailed. In the interview, SBF claimed that he was also a victim of "politicization of the Justice Department" and that he supported more Republican causes than people knew. According to an interview with SBF by A reporter from The New York Sun, SBF provided $40 million to the U.S. Democratic Party and $5.2 million to the Biden camp in 2020. He is currently serving a 25-year sentence at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York, on multiple charges including fraud. U.S. civil society groups have previously reported that there is little chance that SBF will receive a pardon, although he appears to be seeking a pardon from the current U.S. president.
