Odaily News As the number of pardon cases surges during Trump's second term, many people in the crypto industry, including FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried, Binance co-founder Zhao Changpeng (CZ), and early Bitcoin evangelist Roger Ver, are actively seeking pardons from the White House. Some people have fought for opportunities through donations, social media campaigns, and millions of dollars in legal fees. It was revealed that Roger Ver has hired lawyers and lobbyists who are close to Trump, and Sam Bankman-Fried's family has also hired lawyers in the Republican circle to submit pardon applications. Trump has pardoned or commuted the sentences of 1,600 people, exceeding the total number in his first term. (Bloomberg)
