That the Senate— (1) expresses the unambiguous sense of the Senate that Samuel Bankman-Fried should not, under any circumstances, receive a presidential pardon, commutation, or any other form of Federal clemency; (2) affirms that the 25-year sentence imposed upon Bankman-Fried reflects the extraordinary scale and deliberateness of his crimes, his lack of remorse, and the catastrophic harm inflicted upon millions of victims, and that such a sentence serves the interests of justice; (3) rejects any characterization of the FTX prosecution as lawfare, and affirms the integrity of the Federal criminal justice process that produced Bankman-Fried’s conviction by a unanimous jury and sentence by an independent Federal judge; and (4) reaffirms the Senate’s commitment to protecting the integrity of United States financial markets, safeguarding investors and consumers, holding accountable those who commit large-scale fraud and theft, and ensuring that the rule of law applies equally to all persons.
