SBF says court barred defense from responding to $10B FTX loss claims
- —SBF's lawyers filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court on September 10 to review the case
- —Judge Kaplan sentenced him to 25 years and about $11 billion in forfeiture
- —The Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the sentence on June 12, 2026
- —The defense calls the $11 billion forfeiture an excessive fine under the Eighth Amendment
Why it matters: The outcome of the Supreme Court appeal could influence evidentiary practices for harm and forfeitures in crypto cases.
