<p style="text-align: justify"> The ongoing legal saga surrounding the FTX collapse sees former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried confronting fresh challenges in court. Bankman-Fried, already found guilty on seven counts, now faces scrutiny over his new lawyer’s potential conflict of interest. The Manhattan court session today will deliberate on the issue concerning Bankman-Fried’s recent legal representation. </p> 
<h2 id="judicial-review-of-defense-counsel-s-conflict">Judicial Review of Defense Counsel’s Conflict</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify"> Bankman-Fried, 31, selected defense attorney Marc Mukasey in January, hoping to secure a favorable outcome during his sentencing and appeals. Yet, Mukasey’s concurrent representation of Alex Mashinsky, founder of the defunct Celsius crypto firm, has sparked concerns. Mashinsky, under scrutiny for alleged financial manipulations, maintains his innocence amidst the controversy. </p> 
<p style="text-align: justify"> Prosecutors are now pointing out that Mukasey and his associate Torrey Young may have interests at odds with their client’s case. This stems from accusations that Bankman-Fried diverted FTX customer funds to settle Alameda Research’s debts with Celsius, thus creating a complex web of potential conflicts. </p> 
<p style="text-align: justify"> Despite these claims, the defense insists on Bankman-Fried’s right to retain Mukasey, provided he acknowledges the risks involved. With a sentencing date of March 28 looming, the ex-CEO might face a lengthy prison term. </p> 
<h2 id="defense-attorney-s-notable-background">Defense Attorney’s Notable Background</h2> 
<p style="text-align: justify"> Marc Mukasey’s legal pedigree includes his father’s tenure as a federal prosecutor and U.S. Attorney General. With past clientele including Donald Trump and Nikola founder Trevor Milton, Mukasey brings a wealth of experience to Bankman-Fried’s defense. As the crypto community and Wall Street observe, the upcoming rulings in March and today’s hearing resolution remain high-interest events.</p>
