The U.S. Senate is unanimously opposing clemency for FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, passing a nonbinding resolution without objection. Bankman-Fried has requested clemency, following a trend of leniency shown to other major crypto figures, including Changpeng Zhao and Ross Ulbricht, who received pardons from Trump, highlighting a stark contrast in treatment. Market sentiment remains cautious towards crypto leaders.
The nonbinding resolution passed without objection after Bankman-Fried asked for clemency, months after Trump pardoned other major crypto figures, including Changpeng Zhao and Ross Ulbricht.
