Sam Bankman-Fried Appeals Fraud Conviction, Citing Judge’s Conduct and Prosecutorial Misconduct in FTX Case



FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has initiated an appeal of his fraud conviction related to the cryptocurrency exchange’s dramatic collapse. Bankman-Fried’s appeal takes aim at the trial judge’s handling of the case and accuses FTX’s debtor counsel, Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, of acting in concert with the prosecution. The details of Bankman-Fried’s appeal were reported earlier this week by Law360 (Law360).
