U.S. Senator Responds to SBF's Plea for Clemency: If the CLARITY Act Applies, the Sentence Could Exceed 25 Years

Odaily Planet Daily reports that SBF posted on X claiming the CLARITY Act will be a significant milestone in the history of cryptocurrency development and a major achievement for Trump. U.S. Senator Cynthia Lummis responded, saying SBF is seeking a pardon but doesn’t realize that the CLARITY Act could result in a sentence far exceeding 25 years. She emphasized that her legislative proposal is completely different from the bill SBF tried to buy from Congress in 2022 and clearly stated, “We neither need nor want SBF’s support.”
