According to Reuters, citing former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), a spokesman confirmed that SBF has hired Mark Cohen, a partner of Cohen & Gresser law firm, as its defense lawyer after FTX went bankrupt. SBF previously hired Martin Flumenbaum of law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, but the law firm said last month that it was no longer representing him because of the conflict. In addition, Ellison, the head of Alameda Research, has hired law firm Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr as defense counsel, sources said.
