Should US high court justices grant review of the case, they could release a decision as early as June 2027.<\/p>\n

After being convicted in 2023, losing his appeal to a Second Circuit<\/a> court in 2026 and awaiting a decision on a presidential pardon that may never come, former FTX CEO Sam \u201cSBF\u201d Bankman-Fried is hoping to take his criminal case to the US Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
