“# Crypto Capital owner\u2019s attorneys no longer want to represent him <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

The attorneys representing Reggie Fowler \u2014 the accused operator of the notorious shadow-bank to the crypto sector, Crypto Capital \u2014 have filed a motion to withdraw as Fowler\u2019s counsel.<\/p>\n

According to the motion<\/a>, Hogan Lovells US’s James McGovern and Michael Hefter have discussed withdrawing from the ongoing case between the businessman and the U.S. government since Feb. 26, after Fowler rejected a nine-figure plea deal the prior month.<\/p>\n

Crypto Capital is accused of providing unlicensed money transmitting services, committing bank fraud, and laundering funds on behalf of Columbian drug cartels.<\/p>\n

Crypto exchange Bitfinex and sister-company Tether further claim the Panamanian shadow-bank lost more than $800 million in funds they entrusted to the firm in a series<\/a> of enforcement actions targeting banks used by Crypto Capital worldwide.<\/p>\n

The motion from Fowler’s attorneys does not give the specific reasons they wish to withdraw, although it does state that \u201cProfessional considerations require termination of the representation.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe issue of Counsel\u2019s withdrawal has been the subject of discussion with Mr. Fowler since February 26, 2020, and Counsel has informed Mr. Fowler orally and in writing on multiple occasions since then that there were grounds for Counsel to seek to withdraw.\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

New York regulations mandate that the attorneys can only withdraw through an order of the court, provided the \u201cwithdrawal can be accomplished without material adverse effect on the interests of the client.\u201d<\/p>\n

The attorneys claim they can withdraw without compromising Fowler\u2019s interests, noting that the case has only seen \u201climited pertinent discovery,\u201d and the anticipated trial is still more than five months away \u2014 allowing ample time for new counsel to prepare their defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cCounsel took reasonable steps to protect Mr. Fowler\u2019s interests by repeatedly informing him that there were grounds for Counsel to seek to withdraw and that Counsel intended to seek to withdraw […] Mr. Fowler has had ample time to find new counsel should he wish to do so.\u201d\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fowler was indicted on charges of bank fraud and operating an unlicensed money transmitting business on April 30, 2019<\/a>, with the United States Attorney\u2019s Office alleging that \u201chundreds of millions of dollars flowed through\u201d the accounts of Fowler and his associates under fraudulent pretenses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
