ChainCatcher news, former CEO and co-founder of the cryptocurrency exchange FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), took a pro-Trump stance in his first interview since going to prison. SBF claimed in the interview that he is also a victim of "politicization by the Department of Justice," and that his support for Republican causes is greater than people realize.

According to an interview with SBF by a reporter from The New York Sun, SBF donated $40 million to the Democratic Party in 2020 and $5.2 million to the Biden campaign. He is currently serving a 25-year sentence at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, New York, on multiple charges including fraud.

Previous reports from U.S. civil groups indicated that the likelihood of SBF receiving a pardon is very low, although he seems to be seeking a pardon from the current U.S. president.
