Objections Raised Over Appointment of Sullivan & Cromwell as Debtors’ Counsel for FTX – Bitcoin News

On Friday, bankruptcy judge John Dorsey approved the law firm Sullivan & Cromwell (S&C) to be appointed as the debtors’ counsel for FTX, despite an objection from Daniel Friedberg, a former FTX US compliance officer. During a Zoom presentation, Friedberg claimed there was a conflict of interest between former and current FTX executives and FTX US’ general counsel, as Ryne Miller once worked for S&C. Judge Dorsey, however, was not swayed by Friedberg’s 17-page objection and appointed S&C, stating that “there’s no evidence of actual conflict here.” FTX Bankruptcy Raises Questions of Conflict of Interest and Odd Decisions The day
