The maximal-volume conjecture for clean lattice tetrahedra

Let Sk3\mathscr{S}_k^3 denote the family of clean lattice tetrahedra in R3\mathbb{R}^3 with kk interior lattice points, and let Vol(T)\operatorname{Vol}(T) denote the normalized volume of TT. Maximal-volume conjecture. If TSk3T\in \mathscr{S}_k^3, then

Vol(T)16!(12k+8).\operatorname{Vol}(T) \le \frac{1}{6!}(12k+8).

This conjecture proposes a linear upper bound for the volume of clean lattice tetrahedra in terms of their number of interior lattice points. The bound is motivated by computations; the source does not report a proof or a counterexample.
