FTX Lawsuit Involving Multiple Public Figures
Embedding Partnerships: Tom Brady, Naomi Osaka, Larry David, and others face legal scrutiny.
In the aftermath of Sam Bankman-Fried stepping down from his role at FTX and the subsequent bankruptcy declaration, a storm of controversy has enveloped him. The demise of FTX has caused a significant dent in the value of even the most reliable cryptocurrencies, prompting investors to seek retribution from Bankman-Fried.

A newly filed class-action lawsuit in Florida has prominently positioned Bankman-Fried as the primary defendant. The lawsuit contends that Bankman-Fried’s promotions of FTX and its services essentially operated as a fraudulent scheme, where he urged investments solely for personal gain. Described in the lawsuit as a platform that aimed to exploit inexperienced investors nationwide who use mobile apps for their investments, FTX’s operations are under intense legal scrutiny.

Besides Bankman-Fried, several renowned celebrities have also been implicated in the lawsuit. Notable personalities such as Tom Brady, Naomi Osaka, Larry David, Shaquille O’Neal, David Ortiz, Shohei Ohtani, Trevor Lawrence, and Udonis Haslem are among those facing legal action. Each of these public figures had endorsed the FTX platform either through their personal social media channels or via commercial agreements.
The lawsuit is pushing for $11 billion in compensation for FTX platform users. The distribution of this sum between Bankman-Fried and the celebrity endorsers remains uncertain.
