However, his flamboyant style failed to impress Indonesia's Supreme Court in Jakarta. Last week, it reinstated Corby's original 20-year sentence to the delight of prosecutors.
Hutapea said he sent a letter to Corby and her Bali lawyer Erwin Siregar yesterday informing them of his resignation.
"My power of attorney was only to the level of the Supreme Court appeal," he said.
"I do not want to stay on the team for the judicial review, but I wish Corby every success."
He would not comment on whether his resignation was related to news that Corby's half-brother James Kisina has been arrested in Australia on drug and assault charges following a violent home-invasion.
Queensland police allege Kisina may have been involved in the attempted smuggling of cannabis into Bali for which his sister is serving time inside the island's Kerobokan Prison.
Kisina flew into Bali with Corby and was there when airport customs officials found 4.1kg of marijuana in her bodyboard bag. Kisina's lawyer has said he would vigorously defend the smuggling allegations.
Hutapea said he will now get back to enjoying his glitzy lifestyle.
"I have everything that every man dreams of," he said.
"I work from 6am to 6pm. Then I go to the best hotels and I find the best bottle of wine, of course, with a beautiful movie star.
"That's a pretty good life, isn't it?
"I am a playboy, but I am always a good husband and father when they need me."
Siregar, who had been trying to convince Hutapea to stay on the team, was this morning unaware of his resignation.
He is preparing an extraordinary appeal for Corby.
He plans to fly to Australia within the next fortnight to seek new evidence and hopes to interview Kisina.
