Bankman-Fried was found guilty of criminal offenses and is currently appealing his sentence. It is also known that in 2020 he donated $5.2 million to Joe Biden’s presidential campaign.
Trump’s statement eliminates the possibility of a pardon from either the current or former president, which significantly affects the former financier’s legal prospects.
