Sam Bankman-Fried's latest move has been in the making since the moment FTX, his crypto exchange, collapsed in 2022 .
The disgraced boy king of crypto jotted down 19 ideas to rehabilitate his reputation in a court document.
Now he's angling for a pardon from Donald Trump .
Julian Zelizer : Bankman-Fried's criminality was of the good, old-fashioned variety: lying to customers and investors, and laundering money.
Trump is easy to flatter, he loves the notion of sticking it to the Dems , he says.
Zelizer says the prosecutors who tried his case were from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York , the jurisdiction that handles high-profile financial cases.
