Crypto collapses generate hundreds of millions of dollars for lawyers
Lack of cryptocurrency regulations have made the legal work on crypto bankruptcies more difficult and expensive, FTX lawyers said.
The legal industry has emerged as a major winner amid cryptocurrency collapses like FTX and Celsius, generating hundreds of millions of dollars for lawyers.
Lawyers, accountants, consultants, analysts and other professionals have collected at least $700 million in fees from the bankruptcies of major crypto firms over the past year, according to a report and an analysis by The New York Times.
The calculated amount includes the costs charged as part of the crypto bankruptcy cases of five crypto firms — FTX, Celsius Network, Voyager Digital, BlockFi and Genesis Global — between July 5, 2022, and July 31, 2023. The figure is likely to grow significantly as the cases unfold in the near future, with Sam Bankman Fried’s trial coming in October.

Source: The New York TimesAccording to the data, the legal experts involved in the FTX case are the biggest winners of cryptocurrency bankruptcies, charging a total of $326 million. The law firm Sullivan & Cromwell, which is managing FTX’s bankruptcy, has reportedly charged over $110 million in legal fees, in addition to $500,000 in expenses.
Andrew Dietderich reportedly noted that the costs are particularly driven by the lack of clear cryptocurrency regulations, which made the cases more complex and time-consuming.
Kirkland & Ellis, which handles Celsius, Genesis and Voyager bankruptcies, has billed $101 million for its work, with $2.5 million in expenses, The New York Times analysts said. Alvarez & Marsal, a turnaround management firm, has reportedly charged more than $125 million for its work on FTX, Celsius and Genesis.

Some of the initial reports indicating that firms such as Sullivan & Cromwell would reap a fortune from their crypto bankruptcy work surfaced in January 2023. The firm reportedly had more than 150 people working on the FTX case at the time, including 30 partners with rates exceeding $2,000 per hour.
Amid concerns over high legal fees, the United States bankruptcy court appointed Katherine Stadler as fee examiner for the FTX case. In June, Stadler reported that the team working on FTX had requested more than $200 million in fees since the November bankruptcy, stating that the fees were reasonable.
Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried’s legal team is continuing to fight against the United States Department of Justice, asking the court on Sept. 1 to deny all recent requests by the authority. As previously reported by Cointelegraph, one of the DOJ’s requests included an appeal to ban all of SBF’s seven expert witnesses from testifying in court. Some of the witnesses could cost SBF up to $1,200 per hour to testify.

Writing this review is a joy. Marie has provided excellent service ever since I started working with her in early 2018. I was worried I wouldn't be able to get my coins back after they were stolen by hackers. I had no idea where to begin, therefore it was a nightmare for me. However, things became easier for me after my friend sent me to [email protected] and +1 7127594675 on WhatsApp. I'm happy that she was able to retrieve my bitcoin so that I could resume trading.

God bless Capital Crypto Recover Services for the marvelous work you did in my life, I have learned the hard way that even the most sensible investors can fall victim to scams. When my USD was stolen, for anyone who has fallen victim to one of the bitcoin binary investment scams that are currently ongoing, I felt betrayal and upset. But then I was reading a post on site when I saw a testimony of Wendy Taylor online who recommended that Capital Crypto Recovery has helped her recover scammed funds within 24 hours. after reaching out to this cyber security firm that was able to help me recover my stolen digital assets and bitcoin. I’m genuinely blown away by their amazing service and professionalism. I never imagined I’d be able to get my money back until I complained to Capital Crypto Recovery Services about my difficulties and gave all of the necessary paperwork. I was astounded that it took them 12 hours to reclaim my stolen money back. Without a doubt, my USDT assets were successfully recovered from the scam platform, Thank you so much Sir, I strongly recommend Capital Crypto Recover for any of your bitcoin recovery, digital funds recovery, hacking, and cybersecurity concerns.
