Despite intensive lobbying campaigns, Trump has made it clear he won't be offering a pardon to Sam Bankman-Fried. The FTX founder's legal battle continues without presidential intervention—a significant moment for the crypto community watching the case unfold.

Oh no, this time the White House didn't save the day. SBF is really going to jail.

Damn, I can't believe lobbying didn't work. It looks like SBF is really beyond help this time.

Well, so SBF is really beyond saving this time, the gamble has failed. On-chain data shows that his supporters have already started to close their positions, and the liquidation pressure must be immense. But on the other hand, this might actually be a positive for the entire ecosystem—at least it proves that no one can rely on political connections to get away, which aligns with Satoshi Nakamoto's original intention. But yesterday, I went all-in on SBF-related options bets, and now I'm deeply trapped in it—that's just me.

No pardon, SBF will really have to bear it himself this time. Those in the circle who were hoping Trump would intervene are probably going to be disappointed.

After the real-name system was implemented, even Trump dares not touch it, and SBF is truly done for this time.
