US Senate Unanimously Opposes Any Pardon for Sam Bankman-Fried After FTX Fraud

The U.S. Senate unanimously approved S.Res. 772, a bipartisan resolution opposing any presidential pardon or commutation for former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. This action reinforces Senate support for financial accountability following the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange. Bankman-Fried, who received a 25-year prison sentence on fraud charges, officially requested a pardon from the Trump administration in early June. The resolution declares that the founder should not receive clemency while his petition remains pending.
