- last year
Retired basketball player Shaquille O’Neal is contesting a lawsuit that alleges he duped investors in FTX cryptocurrency exchange.
O’Neal’s attorneys claim the documents were not properly served, as the plaintiffs’ lawyers threw them at the front of his car as he drove through the gates of his Georgia home, according to Bloomberg.
The lawsuit alleged that several celebrities promoted FTX's unregistered securities and funneled investors into a Ponzi scheme including O’Neal.
Despite plaintiffs’ lawyers making numerous attempts to serve him the complaint at various known addresses in Georgia, Texas, and other locations, O’Neal refused to acknowledge receipt of the document. This made him stand apart from other celebrities targeted in the suit who received it.
