FTX Investors Sue Law Firm, Claiming Complicity in Exchange’s Fraud
Investors in FTX have filed a lawsuit against the law firm Fenwick & West LLP, accusing them of aiding and abetting the fraud perpetrated by the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange.

The investors are seeking damages for the losses they incurred as a result of FTX’s collapse, and are demanding that the law firm be held accountable for its role in facilitating the fraud. The case is expected to be complex and lengthy, with the potential to reveal further details about the fraud that led to FTX’s downfall.
