SBF Decides Against Filing Post-Trial Motions, Shifts Focus to Appeal The lawyers of disgraced FTX founder, Sam Bankman-Fried,
have decided to not file any post-trial motions following his fraud conviction on November 2nd, according to a letter filed by his attorneys on December 1st. “After further consideration, we have decided not to file any post-trial motions,” wrote Bankman-Fried’s attorneys in a letter to Judge Lewis A. Kaplan.
“We reserve our rights to pursue any claims on appeal.” Depending on the kind, a granted post-trial motion has the potential to change the result of a trial entirely.
The decision by Bankman-Fried’s defense suggests that they will be focusing their efforts on an appeal. “Mr Bankman-Fried maintains
his innocence and will continue to vigorously fight the charges against him,” said defense attorney, Mark Cohen, in a statement shortly
following his client’s conviction.
