FTX Lawyers Pay $54M In Settlement Over Services Rendered To Exchange – Details

U.S. law firm Fenwick & West has agreed to pay $54 million to settle claims from FTX customers who alleged the firm facilitated the crypto exchange's fraud. The settlement, pending court approval, resolves accusations that the lawyers helped craft regulatory and operational structures tied to the misuse of customer funds. Fenwick denied any knowledge of FTX's illicit activities. This marks the largest settlement in a second wave of FTX-related class actions, following the exchange's 2022 collapse and the conviction of founder Sam Bankman-Fried. The FTX bankruptcy estate has meanwhile distributed billions to reimburse creditors.
