Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, challenging the use of evidence concerning FTX customer losses at trial and arguing that the $1.1 billion forfeiture order violates the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme Court has extended the deadline for the government to submit its response to November 16, 2026. Reports say the Court may decide whether to hear the case in late 2026 or early 2027; if it accepts the case, it could lead to a new trial. Analysts believe the possibility of reducing the forfeiture amount may be greater than overturning the conviction.
