Edwin Garrison, an FTX investor from Oklahoma, filed a lawsuit in opposition to the cryptocurrency trade and its celeb endorsers after FTX declared chapter. The swimsuit named athletes together with Tom Brady, Stephen Curry, Naomi Osaka and Shaq.
According to Garrison’s legal professionals, when course of servers visited his home, O’Neal has refused to reply the door. An electronic mail to the defendants stated O’Neal was dodging service “to draw out these proceedings, or to otherwise attempt to avoid answering for these allegations.”
O’Neal made a industrial for FTX the place he declared he was “All-in!” on FTX. He additionally narrated an FTX advert starring Curry, who professes not to be an knowledgeable on cryptocurrency. It ends with O’Neal asking Curry to train him to shoot free throws.
FTX additionally sponsored Shaq’s Fun House, a music occasion headlined by Lil Wayne and that includes O’Neal, AKA “DJ Diesel” manning the turntables.
O’Neal informed CNBC he was “just a paid spokesperson” and never concerned within the operations of the corporate.
