## Summary

**The Senate expresses that Samuel Bankman‑Fried should not receive presidential clemency under any circumstances.** It recalls his conviction on seven federal counts, a 25‑year sentence and an $11 billion forfeiture after a jury found customers lost about $8 billion, equity investors lost $1.7 billion and lenders $1.3 billion, notes his refusal to accept responsibility and a pending pardon petition filed in 2026, rejects claims the prosecution was "lawfare", and warns that clemency would erase accountability, weaken deterrence and harm confidence in U.S. financial markets.
