Can Do Kwon bet enough money on “yes” to over his own roughly $30M bribe.

The max he can get is 20. More likely he will get half of that which would be around 10. If he goes to federal prison that means he would have to at least 8.5 years. The other issue is he's not a US citizen so they could also just deport him, confiscate his passport and put him on a no-fly list to keep him out of the country.
There's no reason to pardon him.

That doesn't really seem to be stopping pardons from going ahead.

The Jan 6th protestors were sentenced for far fewer months and were all pardoned even after completing their time.

Money, clout, and leverage.

Looks like he's going to do about 12 years which is insanely low for the financial damage caused and after he will be deported to South Korea where he will be immediately put on trial and sentenced to prison again.
"might". It seems like that's the way business is operating these days with this kind of activity.

probably 1000s of ppl have been sentenced to fed prison over the past decade for white collar crimes. 4 pardons is hardly an outlier .

How much money he had when he was caught? How much you profited usually makes a difference in sentencing.

the key here is intent. the Luna protocol was flawed but this is not the same as him intentionally scamming people

Also baffled to see Zhu Su not in prison and tweeting.

Making bad leveraged bets and sticking your lenders with the bill has surprisingly lenient sentences, compared to defrauding retail customers, like in the case of FTX.
Do Kwon at 5% as of this comment.
