Lose money in NFTs or tokens?

You may be entitled to compensation.

  • You may qualify for a claim if you purchased or received an asset from a project that failed to deliver on its promises and subsequently lost its value.
  • Crypto token and NFT investors who want to see rugpulls held accountable should sign up.

Many individuals invest in cryptocurrency tokens & NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) due to project-set expectations of substantial financial returns. These digital assets are often marketed as opportunities for significant profit, with project creators highlighting potential value appreciation, exclusive access to services or content, and utility within their ecosystems. The allure of quick gains and being part of innovative technology often drives investors to participate in these projects, sometimes without fully understanding the risks involved.

Various legal causes of action may arise in cases involving digital assets and cryptocurrencies, particularly when projects fail to deliver on promises of financial return. These can include fraud, misrepresentation, breach of contract, and violations of securities laws. The U.S. legal framework provides protection for investors through securities regulations, which may apply to some digital assets.

The Howey Test, established by the Supreme Court, helps determine whether an investment contract qualifies as a security. If a project is deemed a security, it may be subject to registration requirements and other regulations enforced by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The specific legal strategies employed will depend on the outcome of our investigation, particular circumstances of each case, and the nature of the promises made by the project creators.

Investors who have been affected by a project's actions may be entitled to compensation if their claims are successful. This compensation could potentially cover losses incurred, promised returns that were not delivered, or other damages related to the project's alleged misconduct. Our firm is thoroughly investigating all claims and seeking to protect the rights of investors who may have been misled or suffered financial harm.
