Welcome to the website for Block.one Settlement, pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Action”).
This message is to inform you that final approval of the class action settlement in Williams, et al. v. Block.one, et al., No. 1:20-cv-2809-LAK, was denied on August 15, 2022. The Court declined to approve the Settlement because it determined that the Lead Plaintiff, Crypto Assets Opportunity Fund, was unable to adequately represent the interests of Class Members who purchased EOS Securities in the United States, because the Court could not determine that the majority of Lead Plaintiff’s transactions were domestic. The Court stressed that its decision was not due to any misconduct on the part of Lead Plaintiff or its counsel. You can access the full opinion linked here and under the “Important Documents” tab of this website here.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss these matters, feel free to contact Plaintiff’s counsel Rachel Berger (Rberger@gelaw.com), Cecilia Stein (cstein@gelaw.com), or Caitlin Moyna (cmoyna@gelaw.com).
