In a recent court appearance following his guilty verdict for fraud and money laundering, FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried’s current legal representation, Mark S. Cohen and Christian Everdell of Cohen & Gresser, announced their plan to withdraw from the case. The information came via Bankman-Fried’s incoming counsel.
Replacing Cohen and Everdell are lawyers Marc Mukasey and Torrey Young of Mukasey Young. According to previous reports, Mukasey and Young have a strong track record in such high-pressure circumstances. They are set to draft and file the sentencing memorandum for their new client, marking the next stage in Bankman-Fried’s legal journey.
