Sam Bankman-Fried tries to get on Donald Trump’s good side by backing his Iran strikes

Sam Bankman-Fried, the former CEO of the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX, has issued a statement from prison supporting President Donald Trump's recent decision to launch military strikes against Iranian targets. The move comes as speculation grows that Bankman-Fried is seeking a presidential pardon for his 25-year sentence. Critics argue the endorsement is a calculated political maneuver, while the strikes have heightened geopolitical risks globally. The strikes, ordered by the Trump administration, targeted several military installations in Iran, leading to immediate market volatility and concerns over regional stability.
