TechFlow news, according to The New York Times, FTX founder SBF has formally appealed his fraud convictions, seeking a new trial and accusing the judge who presided over his case of unfair bias.
In November last year, a New York jury found SBF guilty on seven counts of fraud and conspiracy related to the collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange in November 2022. In March this year, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan of the Southern District of New York (SDNY) sentenced SBF to 25 years in prison, and he has already served six months.
In a 102-page appeal filed Friday afternoon, SBF's lawyers argued that Judge Kaplan treated the FTX founder unfairly throughout the trial, making "scathing remarks that undermined the defense" and "mocking" his testimony in front of the jury.
