WASHINGTON – Sens. John Kennedy (R-La.) and Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) today wrote to Stanford University President March Tessier-Lavigne and Stanford Law School Dean Jenny Martinez about the involvement of law professors Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried with the cryptocurrency exchange FTX and its related entities. 

“Please send me a copy of any reports, analyses or documents that the university or the law school have prepared about the involvement of Professor Bankman or Professor Fried with FTX or its related entities,” wrote the senators. 

Additionally, Kennedy and Marshall requested a copy of Stanford Law School and Stanford University’s written policies governing faculty members’ involvement in non-university extracurricular activities, including for-profit activities. The senators also asked for any periodic reports or disclosures filed by either Bankman or Fried according to school policy.
