According to Mars Finance, the New York Times reported that FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has formally appealed against his fraud charges, requesting a retrial and accusing the judge who heard his case of being unfairly biased against him.
Last November, a New York jury convicted Bankman-Fried of seven counts of fraud and conspiracy related to the collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange in November 2022. In March, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan of the Southern District of New York (SDNY) sentenced Bankman-Fried to 25 years in prison for the crimes.
