A class action lawsuit against celebrities who allegedly promoted the now-bankrupt FTX has scored the cooperation of a former exchange executive — ex-compliance chief Daniel Friedberg. A May 11 proposed amended complaint filed in a Florida District Court from the class action lawyers said Friedberg provided evidence that promotional activity for FTX originated from Florida. Friedberg was the chief regulatory officer at FTX and the chief compliance officer of FTX US, the exchange's United States arm. He said Dabir operated from an FTX office in Miami “early in 2021.” The class action lawyers said this refutes the arguments made by the defendants in their motions to dismiss. The class action lawyers are using the new evidence to amend their lawsuit to try to address the jurisdictional claims by the suit's defendants.
