Despite Sam Bankman-Fried’s (SBF) best efforts to convince President Donald Trump to grant him a pardon, the latest update from Washington DC isn’t looking good for the FTX founder and convicted felon. SBF stole over $8 billion from his customers, and was subsequently sentenced to 25 years in federal prison. For months, the convicted fraudster has flooded X with pro-Trump posts, blaming his conviction on “Biden’s lawfare machine” and praising MAGA policies. However, members of Congress on either side of the aisle are less than impressed. Senator Bernie Moreno, a pro-crypto Republican, told Politico, “The guy’s a piece of ***t.…
