Convicted FTX CEO SBF Cries ‘Biden Lawfare’ In Trump Pardon Pitch

Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) claimed in a February 9th X thread that his criminal conviction was part of "Biden’s political lawfare," comparing his case to those of Donald Trump and former FTX executive Ryan Salame in what many interpreted as a direct appeal for a future pardon. He argued that the Biden administration and the DOJ brought bogus charges and prevented him from presenting evidence, specifically claiming the court "gagged" him and hid proof that FTX was solvent and that no money was stolen. SBF criticized Judge Lewis Kaplan, who also presided over a Trump case, for rubber-stamping DOJ requests and imposing a gag order. He drew parallels between his pretrial detention and Trump's legal battles. The thread was widely seen as a political maneuver rather than a legal argument, with critics accusing him of angling for a pardon from Trump.
