Sam Bankman-Fried has filed an appeal against his conviction, challenging the fairness of the trial and the presiding judge's rulings that limited his defense.
His lawyer argues that Judge Kaplan's decisions during the trial created a presumption of guilt against Bankman-Fried, hindering his right to a fair trial.
Despite his conviction on charges of fraud and conspiracy, Bankman-Fried maintains his innocence, insisting he was wrongly accused by prosecutors after FTX's collapse.
The appeal process following a federal conviction is notoriously challenging, as it attempts to address issues raised during the original trial hearings.
