who is really in charge and who is really powerful has become a little more solidified.
And I think it is the tech titans that are no longer just powerful in Silicon Valley, but they're really powerful on a national political scale in the U.S., but also it seems like on somewhat of a global scale.
So you're really seeing that it seems like there is, for lack of a better term, like an open dialogue between all of these power players.
All right.
Well, moving on to another story that caught my attention recently.
Have you heard anything?
Have you thought about Sam Bankman Freed convicted fraudster in the crypto sphere recently?
Until recently.
OK, so the reason that this has come up is that Sam Bingman Freed is lobbying Trump for a presidential pardon.
Basically, he wants the president to come in and be like, OK, just kidding.
Your crimes are forgiven.
And oftentimes this means you can get out of prison very, very early.
The reason I think this is coming up is that there's been some speculation and talk around the White House that Trump might pardon around 250 people for America's 250th birthday coming up in July.
No, yeah.
But this would be a new list.
Sam Bankman Freed wants to be one of those people.
I would be personally very surprised if he got on that list.
Of course, Trump continues to surprise at all times.
But there's a lot of opposition to him getting out of prison because, again, he defrauded many powerful people.
And they are very upset with him.
