+0.0%DWF-linked firms sue BitGo for $141M over early token sales
Image: Crypto.newsTwo companies linked to Dubai-based market maker DWF Labs have filed a $141 million lawsuit against digital asset custodian BitGo in London's High Court. The plaintiffs allege BitGo released Falcon Finance and ESPORTS tokens before their agreed lock-up periods ended, pushing token prices lower and reducing the value of their remaining holdings. BitGo has declined to comment on the allegations.
Key points
- Two DWF Labs-linked firms sued BitGo for $141 million over alleged early token releases.
- The disputed tokens are Falcon Finance and ESPORTS, subject to pre-agreed lock-up terms.
- Plaintiffs claim the early releases lowered token prices and reduced their remaining holding values.
- BitGo has not publicly commented on the lawsuit allegations.
- BitGo faces other active legal claims including a terminated merger dispute and a securities class action.
Why it matters
The lawsuit highlights operational risks for crypto custodians handling locked tokens under private agreements. It also adds to BitGo's existing material legal liabilities from other active disputes.
What's unclear
No publicly verified on-chain evidence has confirmed BitGo sold the disputed restricted tokens before lock-up expiry.
The final outcome of BitGo's multiple active legal disputes remains undetermined.
