FTX Founder SBF Appeals Conviction, Citing Bias in Trial

Sam Bankman-Fried, former CEO of FTX, is appealing his conviction for fraud and conspiracy, claiming judicial bias during the trial. His legal team plans to challenge the outcome with a hearing scheduled for November 4, 2025, at the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals. The appeal focuses on alleged procedural errors and biased rulings by Judge Lewis Kaplan. Despite this high-profile case, there’s minimal immediate impact on major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.
