Sam Bankman-Fried filed a 102-page appeal, requesting a retrial on fraud charges. In the 102-page appeal, the lawyer representing Sam criticized New York Judge Lewis Kaplan for not allowing his client to present certain important evidence. The lawyer argued that Sam Bankman-Fried was considered guilty from the beginning. Before being officially convicted, he had been accused by various parties, including the media, prosecutors, the legal team of the FTX exchange, and even the presiding judge. During the trial, the jury was only exposed to "half the truth" because the court had pre-judged that Sam Bankman-Fried had the "intent" to steal customer funds, without allowing an appeal. This prevented Sam from being able to prove that he had relied on the advice of lawyers on certain business matters, as he was barred from presenting this before the court. Meanwhile, the prosecutors implied that both of SBF's companies, Alameda and FTX, were insolvent. The appeal is currently ongoing, and there are no new updates from the US Court.
