NEW YORK (Reuters) - Sam Bankman-Fried, the jailed founder of bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX, is due back in court on Wednesday for the first time since his November fraud conviction for a hearing in Manhattan over his new lawyer's possible conflict of interest.

Bankman-Fried, 31, in January hired defense lawyer Marc Mukasey to help represent him during his sentencing and likely appeal. A federal court jury found the former billionaire guilty of stealing billions of dollars from FTX customers.
