Rushing McCarl’s cryptocurrency fraud lawsuit highlighted in Forbes

by Nov. 18, 2022

Cryptocurrency-related fraud and scams are now appearing in the news every day. Today, the new CEO of cryptocurrency exchange FTX just admitted in a bankruptcy filing that the company’s financial records were rife with indicia of fraud and poor data security. And followers of Molly White’s blog Web3 is Going Just Great are treated daily to jaw-dropping reports of fly-by-night cryptocurrency companies bilking investors and consumers of millions of dollars.

The crypto bubble has burst, and we expect waves of litigation to follow. Litigation boutique Rushing McCarl LLP — which this week rung the bell with a $17.8 million federal jury verdict in a breach-of-contract case —  will be on the front lines.

Rushing McCarl filed one of the earliest cryptocurrency fraud cases: the matter of Chavez v. Jordan- Jones, Case No. 22STCV12216 (Los Angeles Superior Court, filed Apr. 12, 2022). Chavez and Rushing McCarl were featured this week in a Forbes article about the defendant, Jeremy Jordan-Jones.
