SBF Appeal

[Unlocked]

So this news is already semi-old, but I thought I'd share it anyway since it's pretty big news in the finance/cryptocurrency field:

Does SBF’s Appeal Stand a Chance of Succeeding?

Lawyers contacted by CoinDesk are skeptical the FTX’s founder will get another trial.

SBF (Sam Bankman-Fried), the previous owner of FTX who was jailed earlier this year in the US for 25 years for his involvement in mass fraud against members of the cryptocurrency website, is attempting to appeal his conviction/sentence and there is an outstanding decision being awaited as to whether or not he'll be granted permission for a full appeal and then potentially a retrial.

What are others thoughts on this? Do you think SBF got a fair trial the first time around? If not, do you think there was enough of an injustice to warrant a second trial in this case?

I did not use FTX, so I was not affected by FTX collapse. But I can feel for the people who lost their money because of FTX collapse because I have also lost crypto assets multiple times. When you lose your investment, it is not just the money you lose, it is your hope that you lose, it is your dream that you lose. If time is favorable, money can be earned again, but when you lose your dream and hope, you might not be able to recover. I do not think SBF appeal for retrial should be approved. I think slapping him with 25 years jail is fair. He killed dreams and hope of hundreds of thousands of people.
