Shaquille O’Neal, a renowned NBA center and dominant player of his time, has been accused of evading lawyers in an FTX lawsuit.
He was among several celebrities, including Stephen Curry, Tom Brady, and Larry David, named in the lawsuit filed by FTX investors. Shaquille O’Neal was one of the most prominent promoters of the crypto exchange service, advocating for it in commercials, on social media, and representing it during live events.
Despite being named in the lawsuit, O’Neal has reportedly avoided being served for months, with attempts made on numerous occasions to serve him in person. Even though all other celebrities named in the lawsuit have been served already, O’Neal has yet to be served. He at one point hid in his home. Shaq also dodged being served by speeding away in his SUV to avoid the process server.
