Pretty much what the title says. I know he’s a former president and has all of his supporters, but what’s the official reason? Thanks.

    I understand what you’re saying but the logic is a little flawed.

    Yes, they both committed fraud.

    SBF defrauded the crypto community, his investors, and FTX users.

    Trump defrauded lenders, property insurers, and various tax authorities (and via that tax fraud, the taxpayers of NY and possibly the USA.)

    SBF was charged criminally and found guilty. I assure you, the civil cases are coming against SBF. And the plaintiffs will most likely win those civil cases.

    Trump was charged civilly and found guilty. I assure you, the criminal cases are coming against Trump. And the plaintiffs will most likely lose those criminal cases.

    That’s the true difference.

      Fucking when, after he becomes president again and pardons himself, or after he croaks from obesity and dementia?

          After all you’ve seen Trump get away with I can’t believe that you still somehow think this little detail will matter. SCOTUS will create an exemption of some kind for him.

          “White male Presidents over the age of 75 that wear predominantly red ties can pardon themselves at both the federal and state level.”
