The lawsuit, which has been in progress for over a year, accuses O\u2019Neal of promoting these NFTs as unregistered securities. On August 16, Judge Federico Moreno ruled<\/a><\/strong> that O\u2019Neal must respond to claims that he acted as a \u201cseller\u201d for Astrals NFTs. However, the judge dismissed the allegations that O\u2019Neal had control over the project.<\/p>\n

Filed in May 2023, the lawsuit argues that Astrals and Galaxy tokens should be regulated as securities under U.S. law. It claims O\u2019Neal encouraged investors to buy in before the project\u2019s value was expected to rise, but that the value collapsed after he exited.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit highlights that O\u2019Neal\u2019s promotion contributed to a significant drop in the value of these assets.<\/p>\n
