According to The Block, law firm Kirby McInerney and Radice sent a letter to the judge asking to replace Roche Freedman, the lead attorney in the case in the Tether class action. Previously, Kyle Roche, the founding partner of Roche Freedman Law Firm, affected the entire company because of the Ava Labs-related revelation video. At the end of August, Kyle Roche withdrew from several class actions, including class actions against Tether and Bitfinex, Tron, BitMEX and Binance. Defendants in the Tether class action think that’s not enough and have asked the company to be removed from the case. Roche Freedman responded, "Defendants have failed to provide any evidence that the company's attorneys who remained on the case did anything questionable, and the reasonable inference is that defendants continue to pursue disbarment because they stand to benefit from it."
