District Judge Ronnie Abrams, therefore, canceled her participation in the continuing judicial procedures involving former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). The removal of Judge Abrams from the FTX lawsuit eliminates any potential conflict of interest since Andres remains a partner at Davis Polk & Wardwell.

In addition, Abrams noted that the law firm represented parties that may be adversaries of FTX and SBF in other legal procedures. Abrams stated that her husband has had no involvement in any of these arguments, adding that the District Court is unaware of them because the subject is confidential.

In other news, according to information that was made public on the 23rd of December, Russian legislators claimed that the measure to regulate cryptocurrency mining and mining operations had been postponed. Reportedly, this is because opponents are afraid of the organization turning to become a gateway for the flight of capital.

However, according to the bill’s language, the effective date of its regulations is January 1. The deputy claims that cryptocurrency mining is expanding rapidly in Russia, but the industry lacks adequate legal control. However, the passage of the bill could be further delayed if no agreement is reached with competitors in January.
