NBA Hall of Famer Shaq is settling a class action lawsuit brought by FTX investors who claim they were misled. NBA Hall of Famer (and prolific franchise owner) Shaquille O'Neal will pay $1.8 million to settle claims from investors that he misled them into investing in FTX, the bankrupt and infamous crypto exchange formerly led by Sam Bankman-Fried. The settlement will cost Shaq around $1 million more than he got paid for the FTX commercial in the first place, which was reportedly around $750,000. "A lot of people think I'm involved, but I was just a paid spokesperson for a commercial," O'Neal said at the time. O'Neal allegedly dodged process servers for months but was served with legal documents in April 2023.
