The former CEO of the FTX, Sam Bankman, called on his conviction in November

In November 2023, SAM “SBF” Bankman Fried, founder and former CEO of FTX, was found guilty of seven charges, including a wire fraud, a thread fraud conspiracy, a securities fraud, a fraud conspiracy on raw materials and a money laundering plot.

Freed Bankman was sentenced to 25 years in prison in March 2024. J. Lewis Kaplan, who supervised the trial and sentenced to Freed Bankman, characterized the collapse of the exchange and the role of SBF in implosion as a “serious” crime which justified decades behind bars.

Bankman Fried lawyers should appeal his conviction in November, arguing that he had not received a fair trial because he was supposedly guilty.

Lawyers also argued that the FTX was never insolvent and always had the funds to comply with its obligations and reimburse customers and creditors.
