Add to this inciteful list, @kellyscaletta.bsky.social post outlining the 'logic' of the Hernandez pardon in light of the connection between Zhao, Thiel, crypto, the Trump family and others.
So far, Trump has pardoned:
Changpeng Zhao (founder, Binance) - pled guilty to money laundering. Facilitated millions in transactions for terrorist organizations such as Hamas.
Ross Ulbricht (founder of the Silk Road) - the dark web Costco of illegal drugs.
