Beleaguered FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried has reportedly tapped a key member of convicted sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal team to represent him following the collapse of his cryptocurrency empire.
Bankman-Fried hired Mark S. Cohen, a managing partner and co-founder of the Cohen & Gresser law firm in New York, Reuters reported, citing a message from the former FTX boss’s spokesperson Mark Botnick.

Democrats are placing a lot on money out to cover up the money trail fail ensues.
Can’t cover up a trail that wide.
Democrat motto: NEVER RETURN MONEY
With what monies?
Maxine knows she’s in deep Sbf doo doo......
says she’s not calling him to testify.
There’s no way he engineered this himself and there’s no way you can “lose” 2 billion completely without a trace. SBF knows the names and where the bodies are buried. Just as with Maxwell the powers that be have a vested interest in keeping him quiet. This lawyer is there to convince SBF if he doesn’t shut up like Maxwell he will be silenced like Epstein.
Spam Bankfraud-Fried KNOWS he commmitted massive fraud, but is “lawyering up” to try to escape any conviction. A truly protected class of felons.
Bingo. Gubmint-sanctioned money laundering operation for DemonRat elections with Zelensky as bag man.
Look further back.
Bush41 was still alive when the first word of crypto hit the streets.
But of course lawyer for the deep state.
Sam Bankman-Fried didn’t kill himself.
Because to democrats, every legal problem is a just political problem. You just have to know which politicians to pay, and he paid them $1 Billion.
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Ghislaine Maxwell was a pimp, not a customer. Her sexual preferences were putting rich, powerful johns together with underage prostitutes, and getting money and/or blackmail photos.

I haven’t invested in crypto currency because I don’t understand how it works. Now after reading this I understand.
How Crypto Currency works... an analogy in Layman’s terms.
Not long ago a merchant found a lot of monkeys that lived near a certain Village. One day he came to the Village saying he wanted to buy these monkeys!
He announced that he would buy the monkeys at $100 each. The villagers thought that this man must be crazy - How can somebody buy stray monkeys at $100 each? Still some people caught some monkeys and gave it to this merchant and he gave $100 for each monkey. This news spread like wildfire and people caught monkeys and sold them to the merchant.
After a few days, the merchant announced that he will buy monkeys at $200 each. The lazy villagers also ran around to catch the remaining monkeys! They sold the remaining monkeys at $200 each.
The merchant then announced that he will buy monkeys for $500 each! The villagers start to lose sleep!.....They caught six or seven monkeys, which was all that was left and got $500 each.
The villagers were waiting anxiously for the next announcement. Then the merchant announced that he is going on Holiday for a week, but when he returns, he will buy monkeys at $1,000 each! He also said that his employee will be in charge, and would take care of the monkeys he bought pending his return. The Merchant went on holiday!
The Villagers were frantic and very sad as there were no more monkeys left for them to sell it at $1000 each as was promised by the Merchant. Then the Merchant’s Employee contacted them and told them that he would secretly sell them some monkeys at $700 each. The news spread like wildfire. As the Merchant promised on his return that he would buy monkeys at $1000 each, they would achieve a $300 profit for each monkey.
The next day The Villagers queued up near the Monkey Cage. The Employee sold all the monkeys at $700 each. The Rich bought monkeys in large lots The poor borrowed money from money lenders and bought the rest of the monkeys!
The Villagers took care of their monkeys & waited for the Merchant to return! However nobody came ! ..... Then they ran to Find the Employee....However he was not to be found!
The Villagers then realized that they have been duped buying the useless Stray monkeys at $700 each, and were now unable to sell them!
This Monkey Business is now known as Bitcoin!
Sounds like he’s ready to go to jail too
“This lawyer is there to convince SBF if he doesn’t shut up like Maxwell he will be silenced like Epstein.”
I wonder if SBF has the names listed somewhere - that somewhere being a place where if he suddenly “kills himself”, that info will be released to the public?
On his part, it’d be a good insurance policy to have.
And....
