I had a very weird dream last night… CZ and Sam Bankman-Fried were having beers in a bar close to my house. What does this mean?
Maybe it’s a premonition that the notorious FTX scammer is getting out? Conservative activist Laura Loomer has alleged that a “well-funded and highly coordinated” campaign is pressuring figures in Donald Trump’s orbit to support a presidential pardon for convicted SBF.
Loomer made the claims in multiple posts on X, warning that political operatives and crypto donors are attempting to recast SBF as a victim of political persecution.
“There is a highly mobilized and well-funded effort on the right to lobby Trump world to pardon crypto scammer Sam Bankman-Fried,” Loomer wrote.

Conservative Circles Split Over Loomer’s Claims: Will Sam Bankman-Fried Get Out?
CZ was the one who actually started the downfall of SBF and FTX when he mass sold all his FTX.
For exposing the scam, many in the crypto community thought he was pretty based for doing that at the time, but clearly both have played dirty tricks in the crypto space. Regardless, because of the massive amount of wealth among crypto founders they can evade the law.

Loomer’s remarks triggered debate within Republican circles, with some conservatives agreeing that a pardon would contradict Trump’s anti-corruption message. Others questioned her evidence, noting the lack of official confirmation from Trump’s campaign or SBF’s legal team.
According to court documents, Bankman-Fried remains convicted on multiple counts of fraud and conspiracy, sentenced to 25 years in prison and ordered to forfeit $11Bn.

Data Shows FTX Fallout Still Ripples Through Crypto
Crypto still hasn’t shaken off the FTX shadow. DeFi Llama puts total CEX value locked near $300 Bn, but is split between rising decentralized exchange value.
There’s no evidence of a coordinated campaign for SBF’s release, but this underground, well-funded lobby movement seems plausible. Moreover, the controversy shows how deeply FTX still cuts through the industry’s fault lines. Even in collapse, SBF’s story keeps bending markets out of shape.
