Tom Brady, Steph Curry, other stars face class action suit alongside FTX founder
Washington Examiner ^ | November 16, 2022 | by Zachary Halaschak, Economics Reporter

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried and several celebrities are being sued in a class action that seeks to recover damages following the company’s dramatic collapse.

Oklahoma resident Edwin Garrison filed a complaint on Tuesday in Florida federal court. In the complaint, Garrison notes that the class action lawsuit could involve thousands “if not millions” of consumers nationwide that were enrolled in yield-bearing cryptocurrency accounts with FTX, which Garrison contends constitute unregistered securities.

In addition to Bankman-Fried, the defendant is also targeting Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, Stephen Curry, the Golden State Warriors, Shaquille O’Neal, Udonis Haslem, David Ortiz, William Trevor Lawrence, Shohei Ohtani, Naomi Osaka, Larry David, and Kevin O’Leary.

Larry David shouldn’t be in there, he still doesn’t trust any of that stuff and he’s never wrong about that kind of thing. ;-)

For those who don’t know, the scam artists had a Super Bowl ad....

Or so I am told—I have boycotted the NFL since the knee-bending BLM days.

No basis against the people on the ads. The guy’s lawyer is fishing.

In any event these people are on the wrong side of politics so F'em. Brady should have stayed retired, locked in his gains and enjoyed the rest of his life. F'em.

Is doing a commercial for crooks illegal now? I like it!!!

Larry probably had a more in depth role in the company like Brady and Gristle.

Brady and his old lady actually worked for FTX in paid roles. I suspect the others did too.

I wish him well -- if only to set an important precedent.

I think it would be a fine thing to hold public figures accountable for peddling COVID "vaccines" to the public.

Including paid spokesmen in a class action suit is a waste of time. It’s a publicity stunt.

Being a leftist means never having consequences for your actions. “mens rea” or something. They are such good people with good intentions.
