Crypto’s tumultuous year marks the beginning of a new bull market in crypto lawyering. From the meltdown of Terra/Luna, to the stunning implosion of FTX, the blow-ups are public and the lawsuits are here. Alan Cohn, Jason Weinstein, and Coy Garrison, partners at white-shoe law firm Steptoe & Johnson, sit down to tell Jack Farley, host of Blockworks’ Forward Guidance podcast, all about the legal ramifications of FTX’s fall. As they disclose in the interview, clients of Steptoe & Johnson include members of FTX’s C-Suite (NOT Sam Bankman-Fried), the stablecoin Tether, as well as other digital asset firms. Filmed on November 30, 2022, at Algorand’s Decipher conference in Dubai.  -- Follow Algorand on Twitter https://twitter.com/Algorand Follow The Algorand Foundation on Twitter https://twitter.com/AlgoFoundation Follow Steptoe & Johnson on Twitter https://twitter.com/SteptoeLLP Follow Jason Weinstein on Twitter https://twitter.com/jasonweinstein6 Follow Jack Farley on Twitter https://rb.gy/uesguv Follow Forward Guidance on Twitter https://rb.gy/cy0dki Follow Blockworks on Twitter https://rb.gy/igyzsj -- Get top market insights and the latest in crypto news.
