U.S. District Judge Withdraws from SBF Case, Citing Potential Conflict of Interest

U.S. District Judge Ronnie Abrams withdrew her participation from legal proceedings around FTX's disgraced former CEO and founder SBF, amid a potential conflict of interest.

Abrams noted that her husband, Greg Andres, is a partner at Davis Polk & Wardwell, an FTX adviser in 2021.

"My husband has had no involvement in any of these representations," Abrams wrote in a filing on Friday. "Nonetheless, to avoid any possible conflict, or the appearance of one, the Court hereby recuses itself from this action."
