Mark Cuban faces lawsuit for supporting crypto firm Voyager digital<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Mark Cuban was sued by The Moskowitz Law Firm in civil court in Southern Florida for advertising Voyager's unlicensed cryptocurrency products. A jury trial was demanded in the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cuban was accused of repeatedly misrepresenting the company, including making questionable claims that it offered “commission-free” trading services and was less expensive than rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lawsuit claims that Cuban and the CEO of Voyager Digital, Stephen Ehrlich, used their years of experience to entice uninformed clients into investing their life savings in what they referred to as a Ponzi Scheme\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A section of the lawsuit was as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCuban and Ehrlich, went to great lengths to use their experience as investors to dupe millions of Americans into investing\u2014in many cases, their life savings\u2014into the Deceptive Voyager Platform and purchasing Voyager Earn Program Accounts (\u2018EPAs\u2019), which are unregistered securities.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In spite of knowing this, the lawsuit claimed that Cuban kept promoting Voyager's products and encouraging retail investors to buy in them. Cuban declared the Voyager platform to be “as near to risk-free as you're going to get in the crypto<\/a>” on the record. The complaint stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVoyager Platform relied on Cuban\u2019s and the Dallas Maverick\u2019s vocal support and Cuban\u2019s monetary investment in order to continue to sustain itself until its implosion and Voyager\u2019s subsequent bankruptcy.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

One of the several cryptocurrency lenders to Three Arrows Capital (3AC) that failed after a subsequent insolvency was Voyager. On July 1, the crypto lending company<\/a> halted trading and withdrawals, and on July 5, it eventually filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy. Nearly 5 billion dollars' worth of bitcoin assets owned by over 3.5 million American users are currently locked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The judge presiding over Voyager's bankruptcy proceedings in New York gave the company permission to refund $270 million in client funds stored at the Metropolitan Commercial Bank (MCB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day later, the loan company said that beginning on August 11, customers having U.S. dollars in their accounts could withdraw up to $100,000 in a 24-hour period, with the money arriving in 5\u201310 working days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
