US Senate unanimously passes resolution opposing pardon for SBF
The US Senate unanimously passed a nonbinding resolution (S.Res.772) stating that Sam Bankman-Fried should not receive a presidential pardon. It is a political statement but does not legally prevent a pardon.
- Senate passed by unanimous consent resolution opposing clemency for SBF.
- Introduced by Sen. Gallego and Sen. Lummis.
- Nonbinding, but strong political signal.
- Comes after Trump pardoned CZ and Ross Ulbricht.
Shows bipartisanship in crypto regulation, specifically on fraud and accountability. May influence future pardon decisions and broader crypto regulatory tone.
