Morrison Cohen Cryptocurrency Litigation Tracker Featured in Cointelegraph
A Cointelegraph article entitled “New Crypto Litigation Tracker Highlights 300 Cases from Safemoon to Pepe the Frog” discussed Morrison Cohen’s Cryptocurrency Litigation Tracker and reported on some of its noteworthy data.
The article noted, based on the information provided in the Tracker, that the SEC, CFTC and DOJ have seven cases either resolved or ongoing this year, including “the most notable of all,” the ongoing litigation involving the Department of Justice v. Ilya Lichtenstein and Heather Morgan, “the husband-wife duo charged with an alleged conspiracy to launder funds relating to the 119,756 Bitcoin (BTC) Bitfinex hack in 2016.”
The article also highlighted “a unique case that seems to have mostly flown under the radar,” in which the plaintiff alleges that Matt Furie, who created Pepe the Frog, and his co-defendants “fraudulently misrepresented the value of a Pepe the Frog NFT.”
The Cryptocurrency Litigation Tracker is a comprehensive, ongoing report that keeps watch on all of the latest cryptocurrency and blockchain litigation developments. It is updated regularly by Jason Gottlieb, Partner and Chair of our White Collar and Regulatory Enforcement Group, as well as Partners Daniel Isaacs and Michael Mix, and Associate Alexandra Wang.
