SRES 772 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A resolution expressing the sense of the Senate that under no circumstances should Samuel Bankman-Fried receive executive clemency, including a pardon or commutation, and affirming the Senate's commitment to the rule of law and integrity of the United States financial system.

This Senate resolution expresses the official stance that former FTX co-founder Samuel Bankman-Fried should never receive a presidential pardon, commutation, or any other form of executive clemency. The measure directly addresses Bankman-Fried, who is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence for fraud and money laundering related to the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange. By formally rejecting the idea of clemency, the bill aims to ensure that the penalties imposed by the courts remain in effect and to signal that large-scale financial crimes carry permanent accountability. Additionally, the resolution affirms the integrity of the federal justice process that convicted Bankman-Fried and reaffirms the Senate's commitment to protecting the integrity of the U.S. financial system.
