Cryptocurrency users seek resolution of class-action lawsuit with former FTX CEO SBF in Florida
Have you heard about Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF)? He’s the co-founder and former CEO of the FTX crypto exchange. Recently, he was sentenced to 25 years in jail for his involvement in the bankruptcy of the FTX crypto empire. However, there’s a new twist in the story!
Just a few days ago, the former FTX clients who filed a lawsuit against FTX influencers in 2022 announced that they have reached a settlement with SBF. They realized that continuing the legal battle against SBF would be costly and time-consuming, so they decided to focus on using evidence from his criminal trial to strengthen their case against other FTX promoters.
By teaming up with SBF, the plaintiffs believe they will have a stronger case against the remaining defendants in the FTX bankruptcy case. It’s a strategic move that could potentially benefit all parties involved in the lawsuit.
The plaintiffs have requested SBF’s assistance in going after the FTX influencers. They want him to provide documents and testimony from his criminal trial to help the former FTX customers reclaim their lost funds. In their filing, they also mentioned celebrities like Naomi Osaka, Tom Brady, Stephen Curry, and Shaquille O’Neal, who promoted the FTX crypto exchange before its downfall.
Furthermore, the plaintiffs have asked SBF to remain at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn to aid in his defense, rather than being transferred to a federal prison in the San Francisco Bay Area. It’s all part of their strategy to strengthen their case and seek justice.
It will be interesting to see how this legal saga unfolds and how many more parties will be implicated in the FTX scandal. There are rumors that even prominent political figures may be revealed for receiving donations from the FTX exchange. Only time will tell!
