Parents want Trump to pardon Sam Bankman-Fried 
The parents of Sam Bankman-Fried, the co-founder and former CEO of FTX, are allegedly seeking a presidential pardon from President Donald Trump. 
Parents want Trump to pardon Sam Bankman-Fried 
According to Bloomberg, Stanford Law School professors Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried have discussed clemency for their son, who is serving 25 years for fraud, with legal experts and “Trump’s inner circle”.
White-collar criminals seeking leniency have taken notice of Trump's pardons, notably those of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht. 
Bloomberg reports that Bankman-Fried lacks the cryptocurrency and libertarian support of Ulbricht. 
Sam Bankam-Fried claims his 25-year sentence is disproportionate, particularly since most FTX clients have recovered their losses.
Additionally, Ryan Salame, a former FTX executive who got a sentence of nearly seven years, is seeking a pardon, revealing a tendency among those engaged in the FTX scandal.
Trump’s Early Pardon Considerations
President Trump's pardon policy seems to have changed during his first term, when most clemency acts were focused near the conclusion. On the other hand, the President may pardon early, even for both parties. 
Sam Bankman-Fried was a major Democratic contributor, yet Trump has helped Democrats accused of political persecution.
Bloomberg notes that US District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, who ruled both Bankman-Fried's trial and Trump's legal issues, is a regular opponent. Both people have attacked Kaplan for “unfairness” in their cases. 
Legal scholar Alan Dershowitz, who helped numerous people get clemency during Trump's first term, has also been asked for help. Despite increased interest in pardons, Trump is preoccupied with other issues.
