Which Crypto Founders Are Seeking Pardons From President Trump?
President Donald Trump has implemented a pro-crypto regulatory environment, granting pardons to several crypto figures. He pardoned Silk Road creator Ross Ulbricht shortly after taking office, followed by pardons for BitMEX co-founders Arthur Hayes, Benjamin Delo, Samuel Reed, and Gregory Dwyer. This has inspired other crypto personalities to seek pardons, including Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, who is pursuing legal avenues for relief. Imprisoned FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried is reportedly campaigning for a pardon with the help of his parents. Roger Ver, facing tax evasion charges, publicly appealed for a pardon but faces complications due to renouncing his U.S. citizenship. Jobadiah Weeks, involved in the BitClub Ponzi scheme, hinted at seeking a pardon as well.
