Techub News reports that FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried has officially filed a motion requesting a retrial of his current 25-year prison sentence. SBF states that former FTX executives Daniel Chapsky and Ryan Salame can serve as new witnesses to counter the prosecution’s allegations of fraudulent transactions involving customers. He also requests the appointment of a different judge to review the motion, claiming that the original trial judge, Lewis Kaplan, exhibited “clear bias.”
The motion was drafted on February 5 and officially filed on Tuesday in the Manhattan Federal Court by SBF’s mother, retired Stanford Law Professor Barbara Fried. Currently, a three-judge appellate panel is reviewing his overall appeal, as he believes certain rulings during the trial phase affected the final verdict.
