Lawyers representing Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried have filed the paperwork to appeal the conviction and sentence of the former FTX CEO.

In an April 11 notice filed in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, attorney Alexandra Shapiro said Bankman-Fried intended to appeal his conviction for seven felony counts by a jury and Judge Lewis Kaplan’s sentence of 25 years in federal prison. SBF’s lawyers said they planned to appeal at the March 28 sentencing hearing, so the filing was expected.

The filing came two weeks after Bankman-Fried’s sentencing hearing. On April 8, the former FTX CEO’s lawyers asked Judge Kaplan to approve an order allowing SBF to remain at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn for the appeal rather than a federal prison in the San Francisco Bay Area.
