Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence, alongside YouTube influencers Keven Paffrath and Tom Nash, reached proposed settlements in the FTX class-action lawsuit, according to court documents filed on Friday.<\/p>\n
No details or settlement terms were disclosed in the filing.<\/p>\n
In addition, the counsel for the class action noted that they\u2019re \u201cengaged in ongoing confidential, settlement discussions with additional FTX defendants.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mediation dates are set<\/a> for October and November, and lawyers revealed their intention to file Motions to Dismiss soon.<\/p>\n In a separate filing on Friday, attorneys representing the plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of Ben Armstrong. Armstrong, in April, was accused of harassing attorneys<\/a> involved in the suit.<\/p>\n If the settlements move forward, the counsel plans to submit a filing on Jan. 5 seeking to schedule a Motion for Preliminary Approval.<\/p>\n In addition to Nash, Paffrath and Jackson, a number of celebs including Tom Brady, Shaquille O\u2019Neal, Gisele Bundchen and Larry David were named in class action suits following the collapse of FTX<\/a>. The suits were consolidated in Miami before a federal judge.<\/p>\n A class action suit was also filed against Steph Curry and the NBA\u2019s Golden State Warriors<\/a> in July. Plaintiffs claim that the Warriors and Curry engaged in a conspiracy that \u201c\u200b\u200bsubstantially assisted or encouraged the wrongdoing conducted by the FTX Group.\u201d<\/p>\n The settlement filings come just weeks before FTX\u2019s former CEO Sam Bankman-Fried<\/a> is set to stand trial on Oct. 3. Bankman-Fried faces fraud charges in relation to the collapse of FTX last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n Additionally, Bankman-Fried pleaded not guilty to seven fraud and conspiracy charges<\/a> last month.<\/p>\n
