According to Bankman-Fried's lawyer, Bankman-Fried was already considered guilty by the media, FTX's debtor estate, federal prosecutors and even the judge before he was indicted.
The 102-page appeal has been filed with the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
Bankman-Fried was convicted in November by a New York jury on all seven counts of defrauding FTX customers, lenders and investors.
