According to The Block, U.S. District Judge Kaplan of the Southern District of New York issued an order on Tuesday formally denying Sam Bankman-Fried’s motion for a new trial and sharply criticizing the new evidence he submitted, describing his claims as “highly conspiratorial.” Notably, Bankman-Fried had previously moved to recuse Judge Kaplan from the case.
In November 2023, Bankman-Fried was found guilty by a New York jury on all seven criminal charges, which involved defrauding FTX customers, lenders, and investors.
