SBF changed his political stance to support Trump in his first prison interview, suspected of seeking a pardon

Odaily News Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), former CEO and co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange FTX, took a pro-Trump stance in his first interview since going to jail, in which he claimed that he was also a victim of the "politicization of the Department of Justice" and that he supported more Republican causes than people knew. According to an interview with SBF by a reporter from The New York Sun, SBF gave $40 million to the Democratic Party of the United States and $5.2 million to the Biden camp in 2020. He is currently serving a 25-year sentence at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York, on multiple charges including fraud. U.S. civil groups previously reported that SBF had little chance of receiving a pardon, although he appeared to be seeking a pardon from the current U.S. President.
