In a court <a href=\"https:\/\/s3.documentcloud.org\/documents\/23531804\/order-in-ftx-case-judge-abrams-recuses-herself-after-delayed-transcripts-unsealed-recusal-order-here-whos-next-innercitypresscom-is-on-it.pdf\">order<\/a>, the federal judge for the US District Court for the Southern District of New York cited possible conflict of interest as the reason for stepping down.<\/p>\n<p>In the order, the judge said that the law firm of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP, in which her husband is a partner, provided legal advice to the now-defunct crypto exchange FTX in 2021. The judge added that Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP had represented parties &#8220;that may be adverse to FTX and Defendant Bankman-Fried in other proceedings (or potential proceedings).&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The court order noted that Abrams' husband, Greg D. Andres, &#8220;had no involvement&#8221; in any of the representations of FTX and related parties. While the details of the dealings between FTX and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP are confidential and consequently unknown to Abrams, nevertheless, she recused herself &#8220;to avoid any possible conflict or the appearance of one.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_284261\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-284261\" style=\"width: 729px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-284261 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-12-24-at-16.25.09.png\" alt=\"Court order by Judge Ronnie Abrams recusing herself from SBF's criminal trial.\" width=\"729\" height=\"719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-12-24-at-16.25.09.png 729w, https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Screenshot-2022-12-24-at-16.25.09-300x296.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 729px) 100vw, 729px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-284261\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Court order by Judge Ronnie Abrams recusing herself from SBF's criminal trial. Source: documentcloud.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It is unknown when a new judge from the Southern District of New York will be selected for the SBF trial. Usually, judges are randomly assigned cases and only excluded when there is a potential conflict of interest.<\/p>\n<p>Some have raised questions about why Abrams waited so long to recuse herself. According to a report by The New York Times, Abrams was appointed to the case even before SBF was extradited to the US on Dec. 21.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is to be noted that judges usually discuss the conflict of interest matters with the district's chief judge and an ethics committee and look up precedents before making such decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Abrams' recusal comes a day after another judge, Gabriel Gorenstein, approved SBF's release against a $250 million bail bond. The humongous bail amount, however, has created controversy since SBF did not pay a penny.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the bail was secured by SBF's parents, who put up their family home, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/12\/22\/heres-where-sam-bankman-fried-will-be-under-house-arrest\/\">reportedly<\/a> worth $4 million, as collateral. The bail amount is only owed to the court if SBF fails to attend his court hearings.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, some question the leniency of approving bail and whether it was justified given the scale of alleged fraud charges against SBF. Some have also derided that SBF had failed to secure bail in the Bahamas but that the US legal system was more lenient.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-meta-serif-pro font-normal text-lg sm:text-xl sm:leading-9 tracking-px text-body\">According to a Reuters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/legal\/ftx-founder-bankman-fried-make-us-court-appearance-after-extradition-2022-12-22\/\">report<\/a> on Dec. 22, SBF was set to appear in court in front of judge Abrams on Jan. 3, 2023. In the meantime, the former billionaire is under house arrest in his family home in Palo Alto, California. The fallen crypto mogul is facing multiple counts\u00a0of federal wire fraud, securities fraud, and money laundering charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Federal Judge Ronnie Abrams, who was assigned to oversee the high-profile criminal trial of former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF), recused herself from the case on Dec. 23.
