Baldy's question is pretty good, and the answer is no, it won't be refunded. Trump's pardons are generally for federal criminal cases and won't automatically lead to the Treasury or DOJ returning funds that have already been executed, because those are administrative penalties, not part of the sentence. As for the $4.3 billion paid by CZ and Binance, it was part of a joint settlement with the DOJ (Department of Justice) and FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network), categorized as fines + a plea agreement. To put it simply, Trump's pardon for CZ is symbolic and political, not because of a wrongful conviction. The meaning is similar to going to church for confession, and the priest tells you that God has forgiven you—same concept.
