SBF Claims “New Evidence” Shows DOJ Silenced Key Witnesses
-

Sam Bankman-Fried says he has uncovered “new evidence” that the U.S. Department of Justice under the Biden administration pressured key witnesses into silence during his fraud trial. In a post on X from prison, SBF argued that threats and intimidation prevented crucial testimony from being heard — and that his conviction should be overturned.
The claim is tied to a new court filing requesting a retrial under Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 33. The motion references a declaration from a former FTX executive who says he was advised not to testify due to fears of retaliation and media backlash. Bankman-Fried, currently serving a 25-year sentence, continues to challenge the verdict tied to FTX’s collapse and the alleged misuse of billions in customer funds.
