Sam Bankman-Fried retreats from retrial bid as Second Circuit ruling looms
Summary
Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder of FTX, has withdrawn his "Rule 33" motion for a new trial. He made the decision after US District Judge Lewis Kaplan questioned the authorship of the filing, which Bankman-Fried drafted himself from prison. By withdrawing the request "without prejudice," Bankman-Fried preserves his right to refile in the future, choosing instead to focus his legal efforts on an ongoing appeal regarding trial fairness and judicial conduct currently before the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
