Former CEO of FTX, Sam Bankman-Fried, is seeking a new trial after being convicted of fraud and money laundering in connection with FTX's collapse. His legal team alleges that the judge was biased and treated Bankman-Fried unfairly, influencing the jury and depriving him of a fair trial. The appeal highlights specific rulings and procedures that were deemed improper and unfair. Bankman-Fried's defense argues that the government presented a misleading narrative and that his conviction and sentencing to 25 years in prison were unjust. FTX, which declared bankruptcy in November 2022, is currently working on consolidating funds to repay creditors and potentially relaunch the exchange once the bankruptcy process concludes. The relaunch will depend on successfully closing out bankruptcy proceedings, financing operational costs, and overcoming reputational challenges.
