United States President Joe Biden, set to leave office on Jan. 20, still has time to issue pardons and commute sentences for federal crimes. Some crypto users are wagering on him focusing on Silk Road and FTX founders. Polymarket shows 4% odds for Biden pardoning former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried and 2% for Silk Road's Ross Ulbricht. Bets exceed $5 million for SBF and $1.2 million for Ulbricht. Bankman-Fried, convicted in 2023 for fraud at the exchange, is serving a 25-year term and has appealed. Ulbricht got life imprisonment in 2015 for darknet marketplace crimes. Biden recently commuted over 1,500 sentences due to COVID-19 and pardoned his son. It's uncertain if more pardons are coming, but Biden could pardon Ulbricht, Bankman-Fried, or both. Trump vowed to commute Ulbricht but didn't. Biden and Trump haven't mentioned SBF. Trump's advisers pushed for Edward Snowden's pardon. The crypto industry awaits Biden's decisions before his term ends. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
