On November 4, Bloomberg reported that SBF's lawyers will tell the appeals court that the media, prosecutors, and U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan rushed to judgment, leading to his wrongful conviction. SBF's lawyers are requesting a retrial with a different judge. The defense team argues that SBF had no intention of defrauding customers, that he always believed user funds would be fully repaid, and that Judge Kaplan wrongly prevented him from telling the jury the crucial fact that "FTX had enough assets to repay exchange users."

According to a person familiar with the matter earlier this year, in addition to appealing, SBF's parents have been seeking a pardon from President Donald Trump.
