CoinVoice recently learned that on August 12, according to The Block, a class action lawsuit against crypto payment company MoonPay and BAYC development company Yuga Labs was recently amended to include new testimony and include auction house Sotheby's on the defendant list. The plaintiff accused Sotheby's representatives of misleading buyers, saying that a "traditional" art collector purchased 101 BAYC NFTs for $24.4 million, when in fact FTX purchased these NFTs. The lawsuit stated: "Sotheby's claimed that the undisclosed buyer was a "traditional" collector, which made people think that the BAYC NFT market has turned to a mainstream audience." Sotheby's said in a statement that "the allegations in this lawsuit are unfounded and Sotheby's is ready to actively defend itself." The class action lawsuit accuses celebrities such as Justin Bieber, Madonna, and Stephen Curry of conspiring with MoonPay and Yuga Labs to exaggerate the value of NFTs. The lawsuit is currently awaiting a procedural ruling. [Original link]
