US Senate unanimously resolves that SBF cannot be pardoned under any circumstances

Comparatively speaking, the US Senate passed a unanimous resolution on Wednesday stating that FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried should not be pardoned or commuted by the president under any circumstances.

The non-binding resolution was co-sponsored by two leaders of the Senate Banking Committee's Digital Assets Subcommittee — Wyoming Republican Senator Cynthia Lummis and Arizona Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego. Lummis is the crypto industry's staunch supporter in Congress and has been driving the industry's legislative framework for years, but clearly advocated the continued imposition of SBF in this case. Gallego's statement ended with four words: keep him in jail. According to the current sentence, SBF will not be able to apply for release until around 2044.
