Andrew A. Fahie files appeal against 2024 conviction
The appeal was submitted on Tuesday, February 3, 2026.
Fahie was convicted in February 2024 and sentenced to 11 years in prison on August 5, 2024, in relation to cocaine smuggling and money laundering charges.
'There was no actual cocaine'
In his filing with the 11th US District Court of Appeals, Fahie’s attorneys presented three reasons for vacating the conviction.
According to an article by the St Thomas Source, Fahie's lawyers argued that "Fahie couldn’t be guilty of conspiring to import cocaine because there was no actual cocaine, and the fictional narcotics he agreed to import were supposedly treated in a way that made them undetectable."
The appeal further claims that the fictional drugs were not illegal in their pre-transformation state, even if that state was also fictitious. The argument is that a substance cannot be classified as cocaine if it does not test positive for cocaine.
It is unclear when the appeals court will make a ruling on Fahie’s appeal.

Uh, is there the possibility that a potion of our finances has been being used to help pay for his appeals bills? It's possibly so, but I have no evidence. He is "not out of the woods (mettle bar cage yet in Florida yet.)
It’s ok don’t worry, let’s put some pictures of him smiling in the article, the same look he probably had on his face when he took the $$$.
