Has a Bankman-Fried pardon been predicted yet?

I almost can't see Trump able to restrain himself from pardoning Sam Bankman-Fried, whose crimes were white-color and who played a key role in the acceptance of cryptocurrencies as an asset class despite the financial losses he caused.

Sam seems like he could easily be lured into joining the Trump-Musk cartel.
