À propos de cet audio
Sam Bankman Fried has spent the past few days doing something unusual for a man serving 25 years in federal prison: nudging the outside world and, perhaps, auditioning for a future chapter in his biography. According to Benzinga and The Block, an X account run by his friends on his behalf reappeared online to praise Donald Trumps plan to grant a full and complete pardon to former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez, a onetime fellow inmate of his in Brooklyn. He reportedly called Hernandezs prosecution a travesty and said he was glad about the clemency move, framing Hernandez as more deserving than anyone of a pardon. The Currency Analytics and Cryptopolitan both report that this December 2 to 3 burst of commentary is widely being read by lawyers and market watchers as a coded plea for mercy in his own case, a way of wrapping his fate in a broader story of justice, excess punishment, and second chances.
The biographical stakes are not trivial. Cryptopolitan notes that Bankman Fried remains a convicted fraudster fighting a 25 year sentence and 11 billion dollars in forfeiture while his appeal sits before the U S Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, with no decision expected for many months. Prisonpedia confirms he is incarcerated in federal custody pending that appeal, having been found guilty on seven counts tied to the multibillion dollar FTX collapse. So every public word now is part legal positioning, part reputation salvage, and part history making.
On the market gossip side, Bitget and AInvest report that rumors of a potential Trump pardon for Sam Bankman Fried helped fuel a sharp speculative rally in bankruptcy linked tokens like LUNA in early December. Analysts there stress that this is driven by sentiment and chatter, not by any verified step toward clemency. AInvest cites prediction markets putting his actual pardon odds at around 2 percent, underscoring how far this is from reality.
There have been no verified in person public appearances or new business ventures; he remains behind bars. But his name stays in the headlines via comparison pieces on crypto crime and through this latest calculated flirtation with the politics of presidential grace.
