Sam Bankman-Fried , the jailed founder of bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX , appeared in court on Wednesday for the first time since his November fraud conviction.
Although former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried was convicted of a slew of fraud and related charges in the company s collapse, he was never charged with involvement in the cyber heist.
FTX attorneys have said thousands of people who were conned out of a combined $8 billion could get their money back, as auditors comb through millions of claims to verify which ones are real.
