A U.S. federal appeals court has formally upheld Sam Bankman-Fried's fraud conviction, 25-year prison sentence, and forfeiture order.

👉What could this latest ruling mean for the crypto industry's legal landscape?

The Road Closes and Politics Comes Into Play 🔍

On August 4, 2026, the Second Circuit issued a one-page mandate that definitively closes SBF’s appeal. Case No. 24-961 is sealed with the confirmation of the 7 counts and the 25-year sentence.

⚖️ No room for error
The panel of judges (Barrington D. Parker, Eunice C. Lee, and Maria Araújo Kahn) found no reversible errors at trial. The court was clear: the fraud occurred at the exact moment the clients’ funds were transferred to Alameda Research, regardless of whether SBF believed he could return them.

🏛️ Judicial closure and political pressure
Bankman-Fried’s options are limited. He can request a certiorari from the Supreme Court within 90 days, although the court accepts only a small fraction of these petitions.

At the same time, he has requested a presidential pardon from the Department of Justice. However, the U.S. Senate unanimously approved a bipartisan resolution (led by Senators Lummis and Gallego) opposing any pardon or commutation for SBF “under no circumstances.” Gallego’s conclusion was unequivocal: “Keep him locked up.”

💰 Separated paths
Meanwhile, FTX creditors received a fifth round of payments in late July, with nearly $900 million distributed. The recovery of funds and SBF’s criminal conviction are completely separate tracks.

Will SBF reach the Supreme Court, or will the pardon attempt fail? Time will tell. ⏳$TSMB $BTCDOM $BTCST

🚨SBF’s appeal is completely over! Is there only one way left?

点击进入玖玖的粉丝群

Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF)’s federal appeal has officially come to an end.
The latest final ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit upheld the earlier decision in full: SBF’s 25-year prison sentence for the FTX matter and the forfeiture order of roughly $11 billion remain unchanged.

The court held that SBF’s transfer of customer funds to affiliated companies already constituted fraud, and even if he were able to repay in the future, it could not change the fact of illegal conduct.
At present, SBF has only two options left:
📌 Apply to have the case heard by the U.S. Supreme Court
📌 Continue to push for a presidential pardon application

However, the reality is not optimistic.
Previously, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution opposing a pardon for SBF with 100 votes in favor and 0 against, showing a high level of bipartisan agreement on the matter.
Although the President still has the power to grant pardons, under the current political climate, the chances of success are low.
For the entire crypto industry, this also means that the judicial process surrounding the FTX case is essentially nearing its end—and for SBF to overturn the ruling, the difficulty has reached the highest level.

SBF’s appeal to an intermediate appellate court was rejected; a single court ruling has effectively ended his bid to overturn the case

On August 4, the New York Second Circuit Court of Appeals issued, the same day, the final appellate decision in the case of FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), marking the end of all his appellate efforts at the intermediate court level.

This one-page ruling added no new reasoning. It fully upheld the original judgment of the district court and kept in effect all penalties imposed on him, including his 25-year prison sentence and forfeiture orders totaling billions of dollars.

The court also held that Congress has the authority to determine the scale of forfeiture based on the amount of illegal gains by the defendant; therefore, the approximately $11 billion in asset forfeiture orders were also preserved. In addition, the trial judge Kaplan had already denied SBF’s motion for a retrial as early as April this year.

After exhausting the entire intermediate appellate process, SBF has only one remaining judicial avenue: within 90 days after the judgment takes effect, he can apply to the U.S. Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. However, the Supreme Court accepts only a very small proportion of such petitions each year, and the chance of reversal is exceedingly low.

Apart from the judicial route, SBF also sought a presidential pardon from the U.S. Department of Justice, but Trump has previously stated clearly that he will not grant such a pardon. In addition, bipartisan senators jointly submitted a resolution opposing any pardon or sentence reduction for SBF.

It is also worth noting that beyond seeking these two forms of relief, the FTX bankruptcy distribution process has continued independently, and creditors received the fifth round of repayments at the end of July.

In summary, with this final appellate order now in place, the intermediate-court judicial dispute surrounding SBF is likely to be brought to a definitive close, leaving only one variable: possible further review by the U.S. Supreme Court.

SBF’s appeal was officially smothered by the court. On Tuesday, the Second Circuit Court issued a final ruling: all 7 counts of fraud, a 25-year prison term, and a $11 billion forfeiture—nothing was missing. Requests for a retrial in June were unanimously rejected; now even the chance to argue has been cut off.

From the FTX implosion to today—nearly four years—he hasn’t managed to come up with even one workable plan. The old retail investors had already hung him up on the city wall. This news is effectively an official announcement: the story is over—don’t expect a reversal. FTT is basically just a commemorative coin now. #FTX #SBF $FTT

Congress sent a crystal-clear, unanimous message to the White House: Keep Sam Bankman-Fried locked up.

The U.S. Senate passed S. Res. 772 by unanimous consent, formally declaring that the FTX founder should "under no circumstances" receive a presidential pardon or commutation.

The move was spearheaded by crypto’s biggest ally in DC, Sen. Cynthia Lummis, alongside Sen. Ruben Gallego, ensuring SBF cannot use the crypto industry as political leverage.

While the non-binding resolution carries no official legal force, prediction markets got the message instantly: the odds of a Trump pardon for SBF by July 31 on Polymarket have cratered to under 1%.

The U.S. Senate has passed a bipartisan resolution opposing any pardon for Sam Bankman-Fried. While it's not legally binding, it sends a strong political message that lawmakers want accountability after the FTX collapse. #Crypto #FTX #SBF #SenatePassesResolutionOpposingSBFPardon

Why on earth would you do things that cause both American parties to agree to vote against a pardon, huh, Mr. Sam SBF? 😂 The chances of returning to the continent are officially at 0. Well, 2044 for you, and then we’ll backtest the orders together! It’ll go by fast—25 years.
So what do traders do right now? Choose a reliable platform, keep your security keys firmly in hand, and manage capital strictly so you don’t “go far off” like the former CEO of FTX.

US Senate Passes Unanimous Resolution: FTX Founder Should Not Receive a Presidential Pardon

On July 16, according to CoinDesk, the U.S. Senate passed a joint resolution on Wednesday that formally establishes that FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) “under no circumstances” should receive a presidential pardon or commutation.

The resolution was jointly drafted by Republican Sen. Cynthia Lummis and Democratic Sen. Ruben Gallego. It passed the legislature with unanimous approval, reflecting a rare display of unity between the two U.S. parties.

This unopposed resolution directly targets SBF’s alleged conduct, clearly condemning him for masterminding and leading what is described as the largest financial fraud case in U.S. history, and demonstrating Congress’s collective firm opposition to the related financial wrongdoing.

In November 2023, a jury found Bankman-Fried guilty on seven counts, including his direct role in causing the collapse of the FTX exchange and leading to losses of more than $8 billion in customer funds.

Under the sentence, Bankman-Fried’s total prison term adds up to more than 25 years, with eligibility for release only around 2044. By then, he will be close to his sixties, meaning he would spend nearly his entire adult life behind bars.

Notably, although President Trump previously pardoned Binance founder Changpeng Zhao and Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, he also said earlier this year in January that there are no plans to grant a pardon to Bankman-Fried at this time.

When Sen. Lummis introduced this measure in June, Bankman-Fried was already standing trial in court. Sen. Gallego’s view was even more succinct and forceful, saying that SBF should be allowed to continue serving his sentence.

The collapse of FTX began in November 2022, when the media, after obtaining Alameda Research’s balance sheet, found that most of the company’s assets were FTT tokens issued by FTX itself.

After the incident was exposed, Binance then announced it would sell its FTT holdings, directly triggering a sharp plunge in the token’s price and a customer bank run. Ultimately, on November 11, FTX filed for bankruptcy, and the entire empire collapsed.

Direction: The U.S. Senate unanimously passed a non-binding resolution opposing the pardon of FTX founder SBF, highlighting a bipartisan zero-tolerance stance toward financial fraud, in contrast to recent cases in which some figures in the crypto community were granted pardons.

The US government just moved $9.28 million in Ethereum seized from FTX and Alameda Research directly to Coinbase Prime. The government is selling Sam Bankman-Fried's crypto.
Not a wallet shuffle. Not an internal transfer.
A seized asset wallet emptied directly into Coinbase Prime. The institutional trading desk of the largest US crypto exchange.
That is a liquidation setup.
When governments move seized crypto to exchange prime desks, the next step is almost always a sale. This is SBF's money. FTX customer funds that were stolen, frozen by federal authorities, and are now being converted back to dollars through the most institutional channel available.
The irony here is extraordinary.
Sam Bankman-Fried is sitting in federal prison applying for a presidential pardon. His company collapsed in one of the largest financial frauds in history. And the US government is now using Coinbase, the exchange he competed against, to liquidate his remaining digital assets.
$9.28 million in ETH is not a market moving number on its own.
But government liquidations rarely come in single transactions. The FTX estate holds billions in various digital assets still being processed through bankruptcy proceedings. This move signals the pipeline is active and flowing.
Every time a government wallet moves seized crypto to an exchange, the market watches for what comes next.
ETH is already down 45% this year. It just started moving toward $1,800 on the Iran peace deal catalyst. Bitcoin dominance is breaking down toward 54% which historically precedes altcoin relief.
And the US government just added fresh sell pressure to the exact asset showing the most recovery momentum.
Timing is everything in crypto.

🚨Is SBF really completely out of options?
What signal does this U.S. Senate vote send?⚖️

If SBF wants to stage a comeback, the difficulty may have increased again.👀
According to the latest news, the U.S. Senate passed a resolution opposing a pardon for SBF, once again showing that the U.S. remains firmly tough on the FTX case.

Although this resolution doesn’t mean the case is over, nor will it directly change the existing verdict, the market generally believes it means the chances of obtaining a pardon through political channels in the future will be even lower.📉

💡 What’s really worth paying attention to isn’t SBF himself, but the regulatory signal behind him.
As the U.S. continues to improve the regulatory framework for the crypto industry, requirements for trading platforms, fund safety, and investor protection will most likely become stricter over time.

📌 For the whole industry:
🔹 Compliance will become the main theme of future development
🔹 Regulatory rules are gradually becoming clearer
🔹 The market will enter a new stage of growth

Will the SBF incident finally be brought to a close here?🤔
The answer may still depend on more follow-up updates.

Inmate's scoop + White House smacks down, how many more days can FTT's "pardon pump" hold up?

After SBF's "pardon pump" surged for two days, today it received two heavy blows.

First blow: A fellow inmate comes in for the kill.

Michael Avenatti, who shared a cell with SBF, has been posting on X: "I repeatedly urged him to admit his mistakes, but he never listened. He refuses to acknowledge any wrongdoing from start to finish." Avenatti was blunt—"A person who can't even admit their mistakes doesn't deserve a pardon."

Second blow: The White House confirms "no plan".

The White House spokesperson responded that Trump has no intention of pardoning SBF. Coupled with Trump’s earlier statement in January, saying there was “no plan to pardon him,” Polymarket data shows that the probability of SBF being pardoned before the end of 2026 is only 8%.

FTT has pulled back from a peak of $0.42 to around $0.31, with a drop of over 25%. The news sparked a quick surge, and those chasing highs got caught in a bind as profit-takers hammered down.

FTT isn’t a value coin; it’s a political betting “options contract.” Now the news is being disproven, and the casino is about to close.

A rebound is a selling point. Don’t be greedy for the last penny.

#FTT #SBF #消息证伪

Big news! SBF's appeal got wrecked, 25-year sentence upheld. The fall of a crypto giant, greed and violations ultimately lost to the law. The industry is getting reshuffled, and the compliance era has arrived.

It's settled! FTX founder SBF's appeal failed, and the verdict remains unchanged. Looking back at the whole saga, it's clear that market regulation is tightening. To survive in this space long-term, compliance is non-negotiable.

Final ruling is in: SBF's appeal is completely denied. A global financial circus has come to an end, and it teaches the entire industry a hard lesson: crossing legal lines will ultimately come at a heavy price. #SBF #ftt

BREAKTHROUGH

Just when you thought it was safe, SENSATORS Gallego and Lummis have obliterated any chance of a SBF pardon with a scathing bipartisan resolution (#SBF #FTX #Congress). The proof is in the details: they're calling for the chamber to go on record, making a bold statement in opposition to any clemency for Sam Bankman-Fried. This historic move puts the Senate firmly in place against a pardon, and it's the flood has started for SBF's freedom (and maybe his crypto empire too).

Now, with this resolution gaining traction, the stakes have never been higher: what does this mean for the future of SBF, FTX, and the already battered crypto space? Will this be the end of SBF's freedom or the beginning of a new chapter? Stay tuned and get ready to watch this story unfold.
