Twitter war erupts as FTX bankruptcy case heats up. Former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried faces criticism for social media activity targeting the law firm representing debtors.
James Bromley, one of the lawyers representing debtors in FTX’s bankruptcy case, has criticized social media activity against his law firm promulgated by posts from former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried.
In a Jan. 20 hearing in the District of Delaware, lawyers spoke on motions dealing with potential conflicts of interest between Sullivan & Cromwell, the law firm tasked with the investigation of FTX’s bankruptcy, and the crypto exchange.
Friedberg signed onto the virtual bankruptcy proceedings, but was not allowed to speak due to him not appearing in court in person. The judge ruled there were no potential conflicts of interest sufficient to bar Sullivan & Cromwell for continuing to act as the debtors' counsel. “One of the things that the debtors have been facing generally in these cases is assault by Twitter,” said Bromley. “It is very difficult, your honor, to cross examine a tweet, particularly tweets that are being issued by individuals who are under criminal indictment and whose travel is restricted.
“Mr. Bankman-Fried is behind all of this, and whenever we were to move this, wherever we moved it to, there is in my mind an absolute certainty that he’s going to try to do something to get in the way. He’s lashing out.”
