AI-generated summary, report an errorThis Senate resolution states the Senate's position that Samuel Bankman-Fried, the co-founder of the FTX digital asset exchange who was convicted of fraud and sentenced to 25 years in federal prison, should not receive a presidential pardon, commutation, or any other form of federal clemency. It states that his 25-year sentence serves the interests of justice. It rejects describing his prosecution as "lawfare" and affirms the jury verdict and sentence.
