The founders of the company were arrested back in April and are facing fraud and conspiracy charges. The lawsuit not only seeks damages from the aforementioned founders but also the celebrity influencers, Mayweather and Khaled. These folks lost a LOT of money. Back in February each coin was worth $1 and now they are worth only about $0.02. Yikes.
