- Despite numerous refusals to grant pardons, Sam Bankman-Fried continues to praise Donald Trump’s views from prison.
- His post states that Trump is the first US president to acknowledge the strategic importance of cryptocurrencies and AI for the country.
- He also approves of policies on gasoline prices and strikes against Iran.
Sam Bankman-Fried, the convicted founder of the bankrupt exchange FTX, published a post from federal prison praising President Donald Trump’s views on cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence.
He reposted the US President’s speech at the Future Investment Initiative summit in Miami, in which he spoke about the strength of Bitcoin, the growing demand for cryptocurrency payments, and the role of artificial intelligence agents.
Cryptocurrency is being used not only by those who want to pay you in cryptocurrency, but also by agents with artificial intelligence. Cryptocurrency — this is the future of payments using artificial intelligence, — written by Bankman-Fried.
He added that Trump is the first US president to recognize the strategic importance of cryptocurrencies and artificial intelligence for the country.
Sam Bankman-Fried, serving a 25-year sentence for misusing over $8 billion in FTX funds, continues to communicate through his social media account, which is managed by a trusted confidant. Since Trump’s return to the White House in January 2025, he has repeatedly praised the Trump administration’s policies on the economy, cryptocurrency regulation, gas prices, and even foreign policy, including the strikes on Iran.
However, such a loyal attitude toward Trump and his decisions is unlikely to help Bankman-Fried. White House officials have repeatedly stated that the question of his pardon is not even considered.
