The US authorities have rejected SBF's appeal to overturn the conviction and sentence related to FTX's bankruptcy

According to recent court documents, the government believes Sam Bankman-Fried's claims are baseless, asserting that the jury's verdict and trial results were reasonable.

SBF had appealed for a conviction overturn in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in September. He argued that Judge Lewis Kaplan's judicial bias and procedural errors weakened his trial. Bankman-Fried stated that the judge's decision limited key defense arguments and restricted evidence about his investments. He also implied that FTX's financial issues were exaggerated, suggesting clients could still recover their funds.

The government dismissed these arguments, pointing out SBF’s appeal failed to prove any mistakes or biases in the original trial. The government also supported rejecting SBF’s request to force third-party debtors to provide specific documents, stating it was correct because those documents were not within the court’s possession.
