The judge presiding over the FTX Group bankruptcy case declined to appoint a different legal team to handle the Chapter 11 lawsuit for the insolvent ການແລກປ່ຽນ crypto; deciding that last-minute criticism of the attorneys were just “rumors”. The ruling, which was handed down by Judge John T.

Sullivan & Cromwell Gets Green Signal
Two creditors of FTX have accused the law firm of Sullivan & Cromwell of having a conflict of interest in the matter due to the fact that a former partner of the company worked as a leading in-house lawyer for FTX. These creditors are being represented by a law firm, which has initiated legal action against ແຊມທະນາຄານ-ຈືນ, the founder of FTX, as well as other corporate leaders.
During the hearing in Wilmington, Delaware, Dorsey was quoted as saying:

On Thursday afternoon, former FTX compliance officer Dan Friedberg, who was involved in the Ultimate Bet poker disaster that occurred in 2008, issued a last-minute affidavit against Sullivan & Cromwell. Marshal J. Hoda, who has been representing the FTX creditors, submitted a request to Dorsey asking that Friedberg be allowed to testify via a Zoom call. The judge stated that the witnesses had to be physically present in the courtroom, hence could not grant the request.
