Former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal has been served with a class-action lawsuit over his promotion of the controversial FTX.

It is known that Shaquille O’Neal was one of the many celebrities who were alleged to have endorsed FTX, an exchange that has recently filed for bankruptcy. Now, a new lawsuit has been served as he allegedly founded and promoted a Solana-based NFT project called Astrals which the lawsuit claims are an “unregistered security”.

On Tuesday, process servers surprisingly reached and served O’Neal at the Miami Sports Stadium (formerly known as FTX stadium) while commentating on an NBA playoff game. Adam Moskowitz, the lawyer who filed both lawsuits said that the former NBA player was served both the FTX class-action lawsuit and a new separate class-action suit regarding his alleged promotion of the Astrals project. 

A previous claim from Shaq’s legal team states that the process servers for the FTX lawsuit “tossed” the papers in front of his moving car which his lawyers argued to be “inadequate”. According to Shaquille’s lawyers, a ‘lawsuit’ is only deemed served through “following state law and serving a summons.” Additionally, the suit was served in the state of Georgia and wasn’t made by an authorized person.

Despite loads of lawsuits, Shaq continues to work and distance himself from the issues and stating that he was “just a paid spokesperson”. During TNT’s “Inside the NBA”, O’Neal jokingly thanked Curry for putting him in trouble. Although it was unclear if it pertained to the FTX lawsuit.
