Disgraced FTX founder and Democrat super donor Sam Bankman-Fried is reportedly being represented by lawyers who have previously defended Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell and infamous drug lord “El Chapo.”
Cohen and Everdell were referred to by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, who had been advising Bankman-Fried before the federal charges but could not continue representing him due to a conflict of interest. Since then, the attorneys have already navigated their client through a complicated extradition process from the Bahamas, where Bankman-Fried had been arrested at the request of the U.S. Justice Department. They also secured his transfer to U.S.
The legal team is now tasked with combing through vast amounts of technical discovery, including documents relating to FTX investors, debtors, and political campaigns. Cohen and Everdell’s experience as former federal prosecutors and their firm’s reputation for attracting able lawyers makes them well-equipped for this challenge.
As the legal proceedings continue, Bankman-Fried has stated that he intends to help customers recover their money. However, some legal experts have pointed out that this could conflict with his own defense
