The application to withdraw the TradeAI/Stakx Ponzi scheme case has been rejected, with the case involving an amount of 440 million dollars
Judge Lewis Kaplan of the Federal Court for the Southern District of New York ruled to deny the motion to dismiss filed by the defendants in the TradeAI/Stakx case, allowing the case to proceed.
The case was brought by the cryptocurrency law firm Burwick Law, accusing multiple defendants of operating a fraudulent scheme resembling a Ponzi scheme using NFTs and cryptocurrency investment pools, promising high returns to investors. The estimated losses have exceeded $20 million, with a total scale of approximately $440 million involved. The court rejected all defense arguments from the defendants regarding jurisdiction, venue, and service of process.
Regarding defendant Cyrus Abraham's refusal to respond to the lawsuit on the grounds of technical defects in the service of process, the judge clearly stated that litigation is not a game of hide and seek, requiring Abraham to disclose his current residential address to the plaintiff's law firm by March 31, or he would face a default judgment and further sanctions. The court also officially extended the deadline for service to April 22 and has allowed alternative methods of serving legal documents through Ethereum wallets, email, and social media.
