SBF makes bold Supreme Court bid to overturn $11 billion FTX conviction

Sep 11, 2026 4:33 PMPublished Sep 11, 2026 4:33 PM

Sam Bankman-Fried’s $11 billion forfeiture is an unconstitutional, "excessive" penalty that violates the Eighth Amendment. The jury was denied the truth: FTX actually had the assets to repay its customers, but the court blocked that evidence from being heard. If the money was there, the fraud conviction is a miscarriage of justice that the Supreme Court must overturn. Is an $11 billion fine truly "excessive," or is this just a billionaire trying to dodge his sentence? Do you agree?
