Sam Bankman-Fried filed a motion for a new trial on Feb. 10, advancing a claim that reframes FTX’s collapse not as fraud-driven insolvency but as a recoverable liquidity crisis.The motion invokes Rule 33 of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, which permits courts to grant new trials when “the interest of justice so requires,” typically when newly discovered evidence surfaces or fundamental trial errors taint the verdict.SBF’s filing argues both that testimony from silenced witnesses would have refuted the government’s insolvency narrative and that prosecutorial intimidation denied him due process.At the motion’s center sits a striking numerical claim: FTX held…
