Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), the convicted former CEO of FTX, is seeking a new trial. He claims that the judge presiding over his case showed bias and repeatedly ridiculed him in front of the jury. His legal team argues that Judge Lewis A. Kaplan's conduct, including alleged disapproving facial expressions and frequent interruptions, violated SBF's constitutional rights to a fair trial. This appeal adds a new twist to the high-profile case surrounding the collapse of the crypto exchange FTX.
