Trump Refuses to Pardon SBF Despite His Desperate Pleas

Ah, Sam Bankman-Fried – the man, the myth, the convicted legend. Once a towering figure in the world of finance, now languishing behind bars, serving a hefty 25-year sentence for those little things called fraud and conspiracy. What does one do when trapped in such a charming predicament? Why, of course – appeal for a presidential pardon! And so, Bankman-Fried, with the passion of a man who believes he can charm his way out of anything, has been tirelessly courting conservative audiences, trying to sway them into his corner.

But, alas! It appears his efforts are in vain. A White House spokesperson, without the slightest flicker of hesitation, made it quite clear that President Donald Trump, who we all know has a soft spot for certain individuals, has no intention of pardoning SBF. Not now, not ever. Apparently, no amount of pleading will sway the man who, in January, made it clear that he had no desire to let Bankman-Fried off the hook. And let’s not forget the little addendum to the story: Trump also doesn’t plan to pardon other such notable figures as Robert Menendez or Nicolás Maduro. Just in case you were wondering.

It seems the case is closed, folks. No amount of appeals will change the White House’s stance. A delightful turn of events for those who enjoy seeing the mighty fall. The question now is: What will SBF do next in his quest for freedom? Perhaps another appeal to the moon or maybe a well-placed tweet? Ah, the drama never ends.
