If the reports are accurate, Sam Bankman Fried @SBF_FTX has now formally applied for a Trump pardon.
Of course he has...
After weeks of posting like a starving court jester trying to make himself visible to the orange throne, the man apparently realised the algorithm was not enough and decided to take the begging directly to the paperwork department.
Quick reminder for everyone suddenly pretending this is some misunderstood genius arc.
SBF was not convicted because he had bad vibes, bad hair or bad timing.
He was convicted after FTX customers were lied to, customer funds were misused, Alameda received privileges ordinary users never had, billions moved through the machine, political influence was bought, investors were deceived and regular people woke up to find out the “safest exchange in crypto” was basically a private casino with customer deposits used as house money.
Now the same guy wants mercy from Trump after months of public bootlicking, because apparently the final stage of effective altruism is discovering MAGA when your appeal strategy looks like roadkill.
Crypto really is beautiful sometimes. Isn't it?!
You steal the money, collapse the exchange, destroy trust, help poison the reputation of an entire industry, watch retail carry the damage for years, then come back online from prison and start posting like a divorced reply guy trying to get noticed by the most pardon addicted president in modern history.
Maybe Sam should just arrange a few billion dollar deals with the Trumps first.
Apparently that tends to improve the moral clarity of certain people very quickly.
Ask @cz_binance, it works.
The ugliest part is that in this rotten political circus, asking does not even feel insane anymore.
