The organisers of the Tezos ICO have been hit with another lawsuit for its controversial fundraising with a token sale.<\/p>\n
As per the allegations, $232 million was raised to issue a new cryptocurrency by deceiving investors. Moreover, there was no clear end date to fund the development of the transaction system.<\/p>\n
Coral Springs-based law firm Silver Miller filed the class action lawsuit in a US District Court in Florida. According to the court documents, the allegations against Tezos\u2019 organizers are that they broke US securities laws and defrauded and misled participants in the online fundraiser.<\/p>\n
The defendants are Arthur and Kathleen Breitman, the co-founders of the project; their Delaware-based company Dynamic Ledger Solutions, which owns the rights to the transaction system\u2019s code; and the Tezos Foundation, a Swiss entity that was set up to carry out the fundraiser.<\/p>\n
