Former FTX CEO Sam “SBF” will take the next step in his appeal process with a prescribed hearing for November, serving a 25-year sentence after his sentence on the counting of seven hooligans.
According to Wednesday’s notice at the US Court of Appeals for the second circuit, the case of bankman-Friday’s appeal case has been given a calendar for arguments on 4 November. The court proceedings will mark the first important movement in the criminal case of the former CEO as a New York City was transferred to one in California from a new York City facility.

The second circuit was expected to hear as the bankman-Friday lawyers filed an appeal in April 2024 on their 2023 sentence and 25 years of sentence. The legal team of the Bankman-Fride in their appeal filed in September 2024 argued that the former CEO was “never considered innocent”, claiming that the prosecutors permanently lost the “false tale” of FTX user funds.
The bankman-Friday case included some of the most important criminal charges against a high-profile cryptocurrency figure at that time. Whether the appellate court reversed the lower court’s verdict, it can mean a new test or sentenced to hearing for SBF.

FTX, along with several employees located in Bahamas, experienced serious liquidity issues and was filed in November 2022 for bankruptcy. Several C-suits officers of the exchange were criminally charged after its collapse, but the bankman-fride was only sticking with a guilty petition, monitoring by many people worldwide.
Although initially his parents were allowed to stay in California’s house after their extradition from Bahamas, a judge quashed SBF’s bail in August 2023, which after hearing evidence that he tried to intimidate the witnesses in his case.
Since March, the Bankman-Fride has been placed in the federal corrective institute in the Terminal Island in California. According to the bureau of American jails, their expected release will be on October 25, 2044.
There is still a criminal case that is related to FTX, waiting for its day in court
Following the testing and punishment of the Bankman-Fride, the US district court for the SBF for New York’s southern district sentenced to four associates: CEO CEO of former Almeda Research CAO Caroline Alison (SBF’s ex-girlfriend), former FTX Digital Markets co-CEO Ryan Salim, FTX Co-founder Gary Wang.
Alison, who testified in the conviction and testing of the bankman-Friday, was sentenced to two years in jail in September 2024. He is expected to be released in March 2026. Wang and Singh, who also testified, were sentenced to time.
However, Salam initially convicted in 2023, but later tried to vacate his petition in response to the prosecutors chasing the allegations against his partner, Mitchell Bond. He was eventually sentenced to a prison of over seven years, which he reported in October 2024. Bond case was still going on at the time of publication.
Rumors of a president forgiveness
Reports have suggested that bankman-fruid may ask for an apology from US President Donald Trump, despite proceeding in the appellate court. In an interview released in February, he indicated a desire to be more closely identified with Republican and right-free politicians rather than Democrats.
It is unclear that Trump may consider an forgiveness for the bankman-Friday, paying attention to the public. Shortly after taking over in January, Trump waived Silk Road founder Ross Albriich, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in jail.
