A former FTX insider joins the class action lawsuit against celebs like Tom Brady and Shaq who touted crypto
Dan Friedberg, the former chief compliance officer of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, is cooperating with the plaintiffs bringing a class action suit versus a group of sports stars and entertainers, Fortune has learned from a new legal filing. The lawsuit's targets include, among others, Shaquille O’Neal, Tom Brady, Naomi Osaka, and Larry David.

The firms representing the defendants include Latham & Watkins and Colson Hicks Edison of Coral Gables.)....
