According to FoxNews, NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal has agreed to a $1.8 million settlement in a class-action lawsuit for promoting the collapsed crypto exchange FTX, a figure substantially higher than the $750,000 he was reportedly paid for the endorsement. In a separate development crucial for FTX creditors, the bankrupt exchange's estate is formally challenging a $1.53 billion claim from the liquidators of crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC). FTX's lawyers argue in a court filing that 3AC is owed nothing, attributing the hedge fund's collapse to its own risky trading strategies and market declines, not any malfeasance by FTX. The filing states the actual value of 3AC's assets on the exchange was only $284 million in June 2022, disputing 3AC's claim that FTX improperly liquidated $1.53 billion of its assets.

According to BitMEX Research, the UK's Court of Appeal has rejected BSV Claims' attempt to pursue Kraken and Binance for BSV's 'forgone growth effect,' effectively ending the £9.3 billion lawsuit (source: BitMEX Research, May 21, 2025). The case now concerns a significantly smaller amount, estimated to be about 360 times less.
