Sam Bankman-Fried’s lawyers have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn his conviction and challenge an $11 billion forfeiture, according to a report by Cointelegraph. The legal filing argues that evidence concerning customer losses was improperly excluded from the case. His attorneys also contend that the forfeiture imposed on Bankman-Fried was excessive. The appeal places both the conviction and the financial penalty before the Supreme Court, although the supplied report does not indicate whether the court has agreed to hear the case or describe any ruling. The challenge is the latest reported legal effort by Bankman-Fried concerning the judgment against him. No additional details about the underlying conviction, the specific evidence at issue, or the structure of the forfeiture were provided in the source material.
