With the class-action lawsuit against Tezos likely to soon end in a $25 million settlement, ICO participants are encouraged to submit claims by Oct. 16, 2020.
Listen to article Investors who participated in Tezos' initial coin offering between July 1, 2017, and July 13, 2017, have been notified that they may be eligible for a share of the $25 million settlement proposed settlement to an ongoing class-action lawsuit alleging securities violations.
What may comprise the case's final Settlement Hearing is set to take place on August 27 to determine whether the settlement and proposed plan of allocation will be approved as "Fair and reasonable," and whether attorney's fees will be awarded as part of the agreement.
Per a June 1 release, Block & Leviton, the firm behind the lawsuit, are now seeking to notify qualifying investors that they may be eligible to receive a share of the settlement.
Tezos ICO participants may qualify for settlementThe settlement was proposed by the Tezos Foundation on March 20, who asserted that the move "Is in the best interest of the Tezos project and community as a whole" due to the expense and time associated with continuing to fight the case.
Despite the proposed settlement, the Tezos Foundation denies any wrongdoing, maintaining that the lawsuit is "Meritless."
The complaint alleged that the Tezos Foundation illegally raised $232 million worth of Ether in an unregistered securities offering.
Investors have until Oct. 16 to submit claimsAn April 30 hearing saw U.S. District Judge Richard Seeborg grant preliminary approval for the settlement, writing: "[T]he court will likely be able to approve the settlement, subject to further consideration at the Settlement Hearing.
The settlement would also avoid Tezos risking its ICO being named a securities offering, which could incur a fine of up to $150 million.
Investors have until August 6 to object to the settlement, and until October 16 to submit a claim.
