Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn his 2023 convictions for fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering. Bankman-Fried is currently serving a 25-year prison sentence.

They are also challenging a $11 billion asset forfeiture order. The U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld his convictions in June of this year. It remains uncertain whether the Supreme Court will accept his petition. Public records indicate that Bankman-Fried has also applied for a presidential pardon, a request that is currently pending. #crypto #blockchain #news
