Appeals Court Skeptical of Sam Bankman-Fried's Unfair Trial Claims in FTX Case

A federal appeals court appeared unconvinced by former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried's arguments that he received an unfair trial. During oral arguments, the three-judge panel questioned Bankman-Fried's legal team about their claims of procedural errors and improper jury instructions. The judges expressed skepticism that any alleged trial flaws actually prejudiced the case outcome. This development represents a significant setback for Bankman-Fried's appeal efforts as he serves his 25-year prison sentence for fraud and conspiracy charges related to the collapse of the FTX cryptocurrency exchange.
