Odaily Planet Daily reports that TX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) posted on X stating that there is a phenomenon of “lawfare” in the United States, and that the related law enforcement logic is “to prevent the defendant from having the opportunity to present evidence.” He claimed that the Biden administration’s judicial system has launched “baseless charges” against himself and former U.S. President Donald Trump, and has restricted their ability to respond publicly. In his speech, SBF mentioned the accounting records case involving Trump, stating that related expenses often involve accounting classification disputes within companies, yet prosecutors still brought multiple charges based on this. He also said that in his own case, he has faced gag orders and pre-trial detention measures, and that FTX remains solvent.
SBF also stated that he believes he has been targeted for opposing U.S. crypto regulations and for changing his stance on political donations. However, these claims are his personal opinions and have not been confirmed by judicial authorities. He is currently lobbying for a pardon.
