Sam Bankman-Fried destroyed the Biden administration for its “politicization” of the Department of Justice and expressed sympathy for President Donald Trump in a recent interview in prison.
The shamed fraudster FTX, who has been a major financial supporter of the Democratic Party, is set to start serving a 25-year-old prison sentence after he was convicted of using customer funds to make dangerous betting with the fund of his protective Alameda Research.
In a recent interview with New York Sun, Bankman-Fried said he and Trump share “disappointments” with the federal judge appointed by Bill Clinton who headed his trial.
US District Judge Lewis Kaplan, who was appointed to the bench at the Manhattan Federal Court of Clinton in 1994, presided over the Bankman-Fridal Fraud and Contemporary Court for sexual slander and abuse.
“I know that President Trump had a lot of disappointment with Judge Kaplan. I certainly did,” Bankman-Fried the Sun told a 45-minute telephone conversation from the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
Trump, who has the power to forgive Bankman-Fried, has referred to Kaplan as a “harassment” and “completely out of control, Trump hating the judge”.
The president’s lawyers have argued that Kaplan had a “conflict of interest” in Carroll’s issues as he and the writer’s lawyer once worked together in the early 1990s in the same legal firm.
Bankman-Fried told The Sun that the Biden-led Justice Department was widespread with “prosecutor abuse” and that he, like Trump, fell victim to “politicization to do”.
In a turn of irony, the federal prosecutor who led the case against Bankman-Fried was Danielle Sassoon, a US lawyer for the southern New York District.
Sassoon, who was appointed by Trump as a US duty lawyer for SDNY, resigned from her post last week after refusing to implement a directive by Doj Trump to reject a corruption issue against the New York City mayor Eric Adams.
Bankman-Fried told The Sun that he was not given a “righteous and balanced” trial and that “the story the jury was told” by Sassoon “was false.”
Bankman-Fried noted that his other AT FTX assistants, including the constant girlfriend-again Caroline Ellison, received lighter sentences in exchange for their cooperation with prosecutors.
Bankman-Fried was a great donor to the Democratic Party, playing an important financial role in the 2020 election cycle.
However, Bankman-Fried insisted that he “had given the Republicans much more than he had been public” and that he had “worked with the Republicans much more than he had previously thought”.
Bankman red was very critical of the strict Biden administration rules that regulate Cryptocurrency, saying he was “frustrated and disappointed” by the actions of implementation taken by the Insurance and Exchange Commission.
He told the Sun that he discovered that “the Republican Party was much more reasonable.”
Bankman-fried also praised Elon Musk, Tesla General Director who is helping Trump reduce the size of the federal government.
FTX’s former chief greeted Musk for his “Saw” approach.
The post has requested comment from the White House.
