#SBF1stTweetIn2Yrs
The news of the moment about Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the founder of FTX, is that on February 24, 2025, he broke a two-year silence on social media by posting his first tweet since 2023. He is currently serving a 25-year sentence at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn for fraud and conspiracy related to the collapse of FTX in 2022. Although he does not have direct access to platforms like X, it is assumed that he used the Corrlinks system, which allows prisoners in the U.S. to send messages through third parties.
The content of his posts, according to reports, included reflections on corporate management and employee layoffs, as well as a comment on how "being unemployed is less relaxing than it seems." This return to the public sphere generated immediate excitement: the FTT token, associated with FTX, experienced a brief price increase, going from $1.55 to $2.07, before stabilizing around $1.78. Some interpret this as a sign that SBF still holds influence in the crypto market, despite his situation.
The moment coincides with other events, such as speculations about a possible pardon from Donald Trump — something his parents have explored, according to Bloomberg — and comparisons with figures like Elon Musk, whom SBF praised for his drastic approach to bureaucratic cuts. However, there are no official details about the exact tweet, as reports are based on summaries and real-time reactions.
Do you think Donald Trump will pardon him?
