Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried has stormed back into the headlines this past week, as his fight for a new trial unfolded before a skeptical panel of judges at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan. The former FTX CEO, notorious for orchestrating what prosecutors called an eleven billion dollar fraud, is now two years into a twenty-five-year sentence at FCI Terminal Island. His legal team, led by Alexandra Shapiro—who, in a twist of legal fate, is also representing Sean Diddy Combs in his appeal—argued that his first trial was fundamentally unfair, insisting that judge Lewis Kaplan fatally limited the defense and refused to let Bankman-Fried testify fully about the involvement and advice of lawyers. According to Business Insider, the judges appeared unimpressed with these arguments, repeatedly questioning whether any omitted testimony would have shifted the outcome given what one described as “robust evidence” against him.CoinDesk reports that the appellate judges were intensely focused on the fairness of excluding his testimony about legal advice and whether prosecutors told a misleadingly “morally compelling” story about “forever lost” billions. Sam's attorney pushed the argument that FTX investors and customers are actually slated to recover, and even exceed, their losses thanks to recent asset liquidations. Judge Eunice Lee openly challenged whether that matters for fraud conviction—referencing recent Supreme Court precedent that says making victims whole doesn't erase a crime if you appropriated their funds.The press fixated on Sam's parents, who watched the proceedings nervously and are reportedly working every angle, including a possible pardon from President Trump—fuelled no doubt by the news, shouted from the likes of SFist and Bloomberg, that Trump recently pardoned Binance founder Changpeng CZ Zhao, whose company famously donated to a Trump crypto venture. Bankman-Fried's new “I'm a Republican now” tack even saw him reportedly appear from jail on Tucker Carlson's show. On social media, echoes of the family's lobbying and trial drama inched up trending topics, but little in the way of true public sympathy emerged.Despite the legal spectacle and the outsized personalities, most legal experts quoted in outlets like the Associated Press and Banking Dive remained convinced that overturning Sam's conviction is exceedingly unlikely—especially after multiple jurors, including his one-time romantic partner, testified he personally ordered financial coverups. The judges deferred their ruling, but the consensus is that Bankman-Fried's hope now pivots less on the courts, and far more on politics and presidential mercy. No major new business ventures, public appearances, or authentic social interactions from Sam himself have registered—though accounts suggest he continues to post on social media through intermediaries, keeping the legend, and the scandal, alive.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

The world's attention is focused on the Middle East this week as a fragile ceasefire takes hold in Israel's two-year long war in Gaza. Split-screen images show joyous reunions as Palestinians and Israelis who had been held captive greet their families, alongside scenes of shocking devastation in the Gaza Strip.For Mohsen Mahdawi, this story is personal. In April, Mahdawi sat in a Vermont jail cell for more than two weeks fighting for his freedom. Mahdawi is a Palestinian-born student at Columbia University who was arrested by immigration agents at what he was told would be a citizenship interview in St. Albans. Mahdawi, 35, grew up in a refugee camp in the Israeli-occupied West Bank but is now a legal permanent resident living in Vermont. He is a practicing Buddhist, was president of the Columbia University Buddhist Association and co-founded Columbia's Palestinian Student Union.The Trump administration is trying to deport Mahdawi, claiming that his pro-Palestinian campus activism poses a threat to national security. Vermont federal Judge Geoffrey Crawford ordered Madahwi's release on bail on April 30, comparing his arrest to the unlawful repression of free speech under McCarthyism. But the Trump administration appealed, arguing that Crawford did not have the right to intervene in Mahdawi's detention. Madahwi vs. Trump was argued before the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in New York on Sept. 30. Madahwi has a separate deportation case in immigration court that is ongoing.“It's not my case that is on trial,” Mahdawi said. “It is the constitution that is on trial. One of the most important and significant principles of democracy is the ability of expression and free speech. That's the first amendment right in this country, and what we've seen through targeting me and other students and other even journalists is a direct violation of this principle that every American is so proud of and they hold very dearly.”This legal drama has not slowed or silenced Madahwi. While out on bail this spring, Mahdawi graduated from Columbia University, receiving a standing ovation from his classmates as he walked across the stage to receive his diploma. This fall, he began a master's degree at Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs.“I felt validated, that my efforts and the risk that I have taken is being honored and respected,” he said of the support from his Columbia classmates. “I felt that I'm not alone, and I felt a strong level of solidarity and that the community here made it very clear to the government and to those who have been targeting me that they are standing on the right side of history.”Mahdawi was just named a 2025 Beerman Foundation Fellow for Peace and Justice for his work that “bridges faith, activism, and dialogue to advance nonviolence and dignity for all.”Mahdawi is guardedly optimistic about the new Israeli-Palestinian peace plan.  “While there is a sense of relief and ability to say 'I'm glad this is happening', there is also still suspicion about how long this would last,” he said.“I pray that the war is over, but at the same time, I see that Israel now is saying that they have a historic right to the West Bank, which would prevent the creation of a Palestinian state, something that the majority of the world, more than 80% of the international community, the states, have recognized Palestine as a sovereign state, except America, and America has vetoed it,” Mahdawi said. “So I don't say the war is over before giving Palestinians their rights, the right to self-determination, the right to freedom, the right of return and the right to live in dignity.”The Vermont Conversation also spoke with Bernard Avishai, a visiting professor of government at Dartmouth College, and the author of four books including “The Tragedy of Zionism.” He writes regularly about Israeli politics for the New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, Politico and other publications. He lives half the year in Israel.“I do feel much more sense of hopefulness that both sides have learned what losses are entailed by this kind of war, and that it might be time to turn the page,” Avishai said. Avishai is a strong critic of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who he believes “is slowly converting (the) country from an open society to a closed and authoritarian one.”“The real divide in Israel is between supporters of Greater Israel," the nationalist movement intent on taking over Palestinian lands — “and supporters of global Israel," or those who want to integrate Israel into the global economy.Avishai believes that the Netanyahu government must go. “A change of government, a change of face to Israel, will at least begin the process of having Israel kind of rebuild relations with the Western world, but it's a fundamentally dangerous economic situation for Israel to be on the one hand trying to build a global technological center, a hub in the global economy, and at the same time be alienating all the people they have to work with.”Avishai said that Israeli media largely showed images of Israeli losses over the past two years, not Palestinian suffering. “It became tremendously numbing, and we have not, with all that numbing and self absorption and grief, really been able to focus on the cruelty and the difficulties we created in Gaza,” he said. “And I would like to believe that over the next five, six years, we will.”

His legal team argued that his trial was unfair due to jury misconduct and the harsh conditions of his solitary confinement, which they claimed impacted his ability to mount a defense.Despite these arguments, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the original verdict, praising the trial judge's management of the high-profile case and rejecting the claims of juror misconduct. The court also dismissed the argument regarding Guzman's solitary confinement, stating it did not infringe on his right to a fair trial.In this episode, we take a look at the DOJ's El Chapo Brief.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Chapo-ca2-us-brief.pdf (courthousenews.com)Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

The Second Circuit Court of Appeals' ruling that cleared the way for the release of Jeffrey Epstein's Florida grand jury documents was a landmark moment in the long fight for transparency. The court essentially rejected the government's attempts to keep the lid on crucial records that could shed light on how Epstein's 2006 case was handled and, more importantly, how the infamous 2007 Non-Prosecution Agreement was engineered. By greenlighting their potential release, the judges signaled that the public interest in understanding the inner workings of Epstein's sweetheart deal outweighed the government's habitual reliance on secrecy. It was a rare rebuke to the Department of Justice, which has consistently dragged its feet or outright resisted efforts to expose its complicity in protecting Epstein.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Epstein Docs - DocumentCloud

The 2007 NPA granted Epstein immunity from federal prosecution, explicitly including “any potential co-conspirators.” However, courts have ruled that this immunity only applied within the jurisdiction of the Southern District of Florida, which negotiated the deal. The Second Circuit Court held that the agreement did not bind other U.S. Attorney's Offices, such as the Southern District of New York (SDNY), where Ghislaine Maxwell was later tried—and upheld her prosecution despite the NPA's language. This is because prosecutors in different districts are not automatically constrained by deals made in Florida.Prosecutors themselves have highlighted the absurdity of a scenario where Epstein could potentially still face prosecution in another district, while his co-conspirators remain untouchable nationwide. In a Supreme Court filing, the Justice Department stressed how logically inconsistent—and legally bizarre—it would be if a defendant could be pursued in District A, but their collaborators remain immune everywhere else due to an out-of-state agreement. The broader principle endorsed by courts is that NPAs do not grant blanket immunity beyond their originating district.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/sdny-rejects-absurd-notion-that-jeffrey-epsteins-non-prosecution-agreement-still-protects-ghislaine-maxwell/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In her reply supporting the petition for a writ of certiorari, Ghislaine Maxwell—referred to as Sealed Defendant 1—argues that the Second Circuit Court of Appeals erred in denying her appeal and that the Supreme Court must intervene to correct what she claims are fundamental constitutional violations. Maxwell's legal team contends that the trial was tainted by extensive pretrial publicity, juror misconduct, and decisions that unfairly limited her ability to present a full defense. Central to her argument is the assertion that the lower courts failed to safeguard her Sixth Amendment rights to an impartial jury and effective counsel, especially given the media firestorm surrounding her case and her association with Jeffrey Epstein.Maxwell also challenges the handling of jury selection and post-trial revelations regarding a juror who failed to disclose a history of sexual abuse during voir dire, which her attorneys argue should have triggered a new trial. Her legal team insists that the appellate court's deference to the district court's findings undermines the integrity of the judicial process, especially in a case involving such serious allegations and public scrutiny. The reply urges the Supreme Court to take up the case to ensure that high-profile defendants are not denied due process and to reaffirm standards that protect the fairness of criminal trials nationwide.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:20250728111721067_24-1073ReplyInSupportOfPetitionForWritOfCertiorari.pdf

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I break down the key gun policy provisions included in House Republicans' new Department of Justice funding bill. We also unpack a new Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruling tossing the NRA's free speech case against a New York official that pressured financial companies to cut ties with the group over its politics.

Michael Popok is back with Karen Friedman Agnifilo with the Legal AF podcast, the #1 law and politics podcast on this week's YouTube rankings, and they take on: 1) a judge finding that the Trump Administration's "evidence" did not support holding Kilmar Abrego in jail nor prove that he was in the MS13 gang; 2) Trump suing all the federal district judges in Maryland in a blatant example of forum shopping; 3) the ultimate DOJ insider blowing the whistle on the DOJ and its assault on federal judges and its impact on the confirmation hearings of Trump's top lawyer Emil Bove for a lifetime appeals court judge position; 4) the Trump Administration running back to the Supreme Court because a Federal Judge ruled that he still has jurisdiction to stop removals without due process to third world countries; 5) E Jean Carroll winning again for the second time in 2 weeks at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to affirm her almost $100 million in judgments against Trump, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

It's been a big week for some of the dumber litigation we follow around here. It's not all dumb — we start with an update on California's litigation over the deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles, where the state has gotten relief at the trial court level but faces a tough road in the appeals courts. And we look at a case in Boston where a federal judge has blocked, for now, the cancellation of certain grants the National Institutes of Health have deemed excessively DEI-related.Then we have updates on Mike Lindell, who says the $2.3 million defamation judgment against him is actually a victory; Michael Avenatti, who appealed his sentence and got it reduced very slightly (rare win!); and various Proud Boys, who made the mistake of hiring a felon to be their lawyer; some weird drama at the Second Circuit Court of Appeals, where Judge Stephen Menashi is really annoyed his colleagues didn't want to reopen the E. Jean Carroll litigation. And we look at juror drama at the P. Diddy trial. And — most excitingly — Josh makes Ken talk about the Real Housewives.Visit serioustrouble.show to sign up for our newsletter and find a transcript of this episode. This is a public episode.

Good morning, I'm reporting live on the latest developments in the legal saga surrounding former President Donald Trump. It's Friday, May 9th, 2025, and the past few months have seen significant developments in Trump's various legal battles.Earlier this year, on January 10th, Justice Juan Merchan sentenced Donald Trump to unconditional discharge following his conviction on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in Manhattan. This marked the conclusion of the first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president, which had captivated the nation since it began on April 15th, 2024, resulting in the jury's guilty verdict last May.Meanwhile, in the classified documents case in Florida, a dramatic turn occurred when Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the federal indictment against Trump last July, ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed and funded. Though the Justice Department initially appealed to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, they ultimately dropped the appeal against Trump in late November 2024, followed by dismissing appeals against his co-defendants Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira in January of this year.The legal calendar continues to be packed with Trump-related proceedings. Mark Meadows, Trump's former chief of staff, has petitioned the Supreme Court following the 11th Circuit's dismissal of his attempt to move his Georgia criminal case to federal court.In the New York civil fraud case, Trump and his co-defendants have filed appeals against Justice Engoron's decisions from last year. Attorney General Letitia James successfully requested to consolidate these appeals, which are now proceeding with a single record and set of briefs.Just three months ago, in February, a new lawsuit emerged challenging the Trump administration's handling of the refugee processing system. The case, Pacito v. Trump, was filed on February 10th with plaintiffs seeking a preliminary injunction the following day.Trump is also making another attempt to remove Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's state prosecution to federal court. After his second notice of removal was rejected and Judge Hellerstein denied his request for leave, Trump appealed to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.As these cases continue to unfold, the intersection of law and politics remains at the forefront of American discourse, with each development adding new chapters to this unprecedented legal saga surrounding the former president.

In this episode, Jordan discusses a Second Circuit Court of Appeals opinion on statute of limitations, and a Central District of California decision on trade secret identification, and specifically the importance of distinguishing alleged trade secret information from public information included in patents.

On March 25, 2025, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruling in Tudor v. Whitehall Central School District fundamentally changes how we interpret the Americans with Disabilities Act, establishing that employees may qualify for reasonable accommodations even when they can technically perform their job without them.We break down Angel Tudor's journey—a teacher whose request to leave campus during prep periods to manage her PTSD symptoms was denied, despite having previously received this accommodation. The conflict emerged when a new administration implemented a blanket policy against leaving school grounds, prioritizing standardized operations over individual needs. While Tudor could technically teach without these breaks, she maintained they were crucial for managing her disability and maintaining her wellbeing.The fascinating legal battle hinges on interpretation of the ADA's specific language. The initial district court ruled that since Tudor could perform her essential job functions, she wasn't entitled to accommodation. But the Second Circuit emphatically disagreed, focusing on the critical phrase "with or without reasonable accommodation" in the law. Their interpretation opens new possibilities for workplace equity, recognizing that accommodations may address pain and other disability effects even when basic job performance is possible.This case exposes the tension between employers' desire for standardized policies and their obligation to accommodate individual employees with disabilities. It raises profound questions about moving beyond minimal compliance toward creating genuinely inclusive environments where everyone can contribute their best work. Whether you're an employer, employee, or simply interested in workplace rights, this ruling provides a powerful framework for understanding what true accessibility looks like in practice.
