Federal appeals court upholds Sam Bankman-Fried's fraud conviction and 25-year sentence.
A three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously rejected Sam Bankman-Fried's appeal to overturn his fraud conviction and 25-year prison sentence for the collapse of FTX. The court found the evidence against him "robust" and ruled that customers were defrauded when their funds were transferred to Alameda Research, regardless of his intent to repay.
