FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) is set to appeal his fraud conviction and 25-year prison sentence this Tuesday. His legal team argues that SBF was prejudged as guilty due to a combination of public opinion, prosecutorial bias, the FTX takeover team, and Judge Kaplan's influence, claiming procedural unfairness in the original trial. SBF was charged with misappropriating customer funds following the collapse of FTX in 2022 and was convicted in 2023.
