A bipartisan group of US senators plans to introduce a resolution reaffirming the conviction and sentence of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. The move follows his request for a presidential pardon.
Senators Ruben Gallego and Cynthia Lummis are leading the effort. They aim to put the Senate on record against any clemency for the FTX fraudster.
The resolution will reaffirm Bankman-Fried’s conviction and sentence. It comes in direct response to his pardon request.
The bipartisan measure seeks to prevent any future leniency. Senators Gallego and Lummis want the chamber to oppose clemency under any circumstances.
