In Miami Law’s podcast, The Explainer, Investor Rights Clinic director Scott Eichhorn discusses the fraud trial of Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, following the company’s high-profile collapse in 2022. Listen here.
In his role, Eichhorn supervises and teaches student interns the substantive law and practical skills necessary to handle securities arbitration and mediation cases before the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA). Prior to joining the Law School, he was in private practice for seven years, specializing in securities litigation in state and federal courts and FINRA arbitration.
Eichhorn was recently honored by the Daily Business Review with the Unsung Hero Award because of his work this last year helping vulnerable investors and his advocacy to improve the rules governing brokers/dealers. The Investor Rights Clinic offers its services free of charge and is the only securities arbitration clinic in Florida providing free assistance to small claim investors. Eichhorn's clinic celebrated a notable milestone this year, reaching the $1 million mark in client recoveries.
