Biden Mega-Donor Sam Bankman-Fried bends the knee to Trump in
Desperate bid to escape 25-year prison term
SBF turns on Democrats to hail Trump as appeal crumbles
Biden megadonor Sam Bankman-Fried is now praising Trump for his various pardons as his 25-year prison appeal falters, signaling he may be seeking a presidential pardon for himself.
For a man who handed Joe Biden $5million for his 2020 election run, it might seem an impossible ask.
But with an appeal against his 25-year prison term off to a shaky start, Sam Bankman-Fried's current language is a message he's ready to bend the knee to Biden's successor for a presidential pardon.
The mop-haired crypto crook, who also dished out another $40million to Democratic candidates in the 2022 mid-terms, has always been a gambler.
Even so, few who watched his spectacular downfall that year amid the $8billion collapse of his FTX crypto exchange might have predicted his latest spin on the roulette wheel of fate as he languishes in prison.
Despite reportedly once considering 'paying' Donald Trump to drop out of 2024 contention, it seems the prospect of another 23 years in prison and a flurry of presidential pardons has changed his tune.
In particular, after former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernandez was given one earlier this month, Bankman-Fried declared the politician had been 'framed' by 'Biden's DEA' over drug-trafficking and weapons charges.

f Bankman-Fried does win freedom through whatever route, it will have been an astonishing ride in the span of only a few years.
He co-founded FTX in 2019 in Hong Kong. By 2022, with the operation moved to The Bahamas, it had acquired a value of $32billion before crashing spectacularly.
The mogul, who suffers from attention deficit disorder,
Commentary:
Unless Bankman-Freid can give evidence against some corrupt top dog Democrats, there is nothing he can do to save himself.
Too late Sam; I don’t think there’s a pardon in this for him.
Democrats are the only group who kept the donations. Weird huh?
He made his bed with the Democrats. now let him lay in it by serving his sentence. One less Democrat money supplier sounds good. Let them pull his posterior out of the fire of the pen.
The fact is that Sam Bankman-Freid stole from his investors so he could help ruin the U.S. He is an enemy of the state and is exactly where he belongs. I would invest in real estate on Mars before I ever invested in crypto currency, so I don't have too much sympathy for his investors.
Ytump has not mentioned him and I doubt if he will.
As far as a pardon for Sam is concerned, that's a pipe-dream of Democrats.
