The US Justice Department’s bankruptcy unit has picked a former federal prosecutor who led the government’s case against the Unabomber to conduct a new outside investigation of FTX and its bankruptcy law firm.
Robert J. Cleary has been picked as an examiner to lead the inquiry by the Office of the US Trustee, an arm of the Justice Department that monitors corporate bankruptcies. Cleary is being asked to review potential conflicts of interest involving FTX’s bankruptcy law firm Sullivan & Cromwell, according to a Tuesday court filing.
