Why Is Mark Cuban Being Sued?
According to a report from August 11th, Mark Cuban is being sued in a Florida court for allegedly luring customers to a crypto platform that eventually went bankrupt. The bankruptcy cost investors a total of $5 billion. This platform was Voyager Digital – a name that many in the crypto scene will no doubt be familiar with.
Specifically, Cuban is being accused of misleading investors in a way that misled and deceived them, causing them to believe that Voyager Digital was a much safer bet than it actually was. The lawsuit points out that even though Voyager advertised itself as having zero commission fees, customers often discovered that they were being asked to pay “exorbitant” hidden commissions on every single crypto trade they made.
First, Voyager Digital froze withdrawals, leaving investors holding the bill. Next, they filed for bankruptcy, causing an uproar among the crypto crowd. Initially, Voyager claimed that it was insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, but the company was eventually ordered by the Federal Reserve to cease making these claims back in July. One person who wasn’t fighting Voyager for his money back was Mark Cuban – leading many to believe whether he was ever a legitimate investor in the company. Cuban has never revealed how he was compensated for promoting Voyager, but we can assume that it wasn’t a low price. Cuban is of course well-known in the entrepreneurial community for his role in the series Shark Tank, as well as for his connection to the Dallas Mavericks.
