He seems to have been courting controversy throughout his legal career.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 81-year old super lawyer was famously represented before the Supreme Court in Bush V. Gore, the controversial 2000 election. He was a major-time Dem and he lost to Gore. Or, how he <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/01\/19\/sam-bankman-frieds-ties-with-the-clintons-helped-dupe-investors\/\">represented the Clinton administration\u2019s<\/a> antitrust department in its famous case against Microsoft. (He won).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He also doesn\u2019t mind aiming pretty low in pursuit of money and possibly publicity. He worked for convicted sex-fiend Harvey Weinstein for a time and Elizabeth Holmes of Theranos infamy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a youthful octogenarian, he\u2019s still looking to make a splash. Consider: Boies and his law firm Boies Schiller Flexner have filed a <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/02\/01\/judge-orders-sbf-to-steer-clear-of-ftx-employees\/\">high-profile class action suit

href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/01\/18\/ftx-hackers-stole-415m-in-cryptocurrency-in-transfers\/\">stole billions of dollars from customers of his FTX crypto exchange <\/a>to finance his lavish

the celebrities he hired to hump FTX in glitzy TV commercials, etc., as accessories to the crime.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>SBF has been indicted, is under house arrest and <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/01\/27\/sam-bankman-fried-used-hose-and-cold-water-to-shower-in-jail\/\">could spend 115 years in jail<\/a>. The endorsers haven\u2019t, and based on all the available evidence, won\u2019t. Yet the lawsuit says simply by lending their names they\u2019re somehow complicit in \u201ca Ponzi scheme where the FTX Entities shuffled customer funds between their opaque affiliated entities.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>Boies and his spokeswoman didn\u2019t return my repeated calls\/emails for comment, but he recently told Puck News: \u201cIf you made this into a movie, people wouldn\u2019t believe it\u00a0.\u2009.\u2009. It\u2019d be interesting even if you took three zeroes off of what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>OK I know that people like Brady or Larry David are few of the reliably solid sources of cash with a connection to the bankrupt FTX. But it\u2019s hard to fathom that people like Brady or Larry David had a clue what SBF and his creepy drug-addled crew who ran FTX from a mansion in the Bahamas were allegedly doing, which is why so many people in the legal community think the suit is another Boiesian attempt to remain relevant.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

legal circles is some curious connections Boies and his firm have with members of SBF\u2019s family. SBF, who Boies is painting as the second coming of Bernie Madoff, is the nephew of someone described as one of Boies\u2019 closest friends and law partners, James Fox Miller.<\/p>\n<p>Fox Miller has been at Boies Schiller for years. He is described as one of the best litigators in Florida and is married to Barbara Miller, SBF\u2019s aunt, and the sister of Joe Bankman, SBF\u2019s father.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>Boies and Fox Miller are so close that they vacationed together with their families over the Christmas holiday, right around the time SBF made bail and was released from that rat-infested Bahamian prison.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Uncle Jimmy wrote on his Facebook page about the getaway describing it as \u201cour 35th .\u2009.\u2009. It is really interesting watching the younger generations start to bond. It is unlikely they will ever have the kind of friendship David Boies and I have forged over 60 plus years. It is unique. We started these trips in the hopes that our children and grandchildren could learn what true friendship is all about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Interesting, because so close are Fox Miller and Barbara Miller to SBF that people involved in the FTX imbroglio say the couple may have been the yet-to-be named sources of his bond money that allows him to remain under house arrest.<\/p>\n<p>Full disclosure: I could not confirm those rumors in part because the Millers haven\u2019t returned numerous emails and calls.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a

That could include the Hackathon student participants if it can be shown that<a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/01\/25\/hopes-stir-for-ftx-creditors-but-recovery-could-take-2-years\/\"> SBF used customer money to make those payments,<\/a> bankruptcy experts tell me.<\/p>\n<p>The Boies suit, which has been consolidated into two other class actions, doesn\u2019t take aim at the Hackathon winners.
