SBF criticizes Biden and highlights GOP ties in political posts from prison
-

From federal prison, Sam Bankman-Fried has publicly rebuked President Joe Biden, accusing him of having “bungled crypto” through regulatory appointments, and contrasting that with praise for Donald Trump’s crypto stance.
Bankman-Fried’s recent comments online also applauded Trump’s international actions, calling the arrest of Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro “smart, gutsy, and pro-democracy,” and framing Trump as favorable to digital assets.
The remarks come alongside his ongoing legal efforts: he appealed his conviction in late 2025 and continues to await a decision from the US Court of Appeals. While speculation about a presidential pardon persists, recent reporting indicates Trump currently has no plans to pardon Bankman-Fried.
