🌟 About This Video 🌟
Sam Bankman-Fried asked a court for a new trial, saying testimony from a new witness could alter the case, a move with significant legal implications.
The filing asserts that FTX executive Nishad Singh changed his account after alleged government threats and that executives Daniel Chapsky and Ryan Salame would dispute prosecution claims. The request is separate from Bankman-Fried’s appeal and follows his 2023 conviction on seven counts tied to the collapse of crypto exchange FTX.
He says Chapsky avoided testifying due to concerns about media scrutiny and potential retaliation, and he seeks a different judge, alleging ā€œmanifest prejudiceā€ by Judge Lewis Kaplan. He is serving a 25-year sentence; Caroline Ellison has been released, and Salame’s release date was advanced. #sambankmanfried #ftx #cryptotrial #legalappeal #justice
