Lawyers for NBA star Shaquille O\u2019Neal, who previously endorsed the now-bankrupt crypto exchange FTX, have claimed two process servers inadequately delivered legal documents after previous failed attempts.<\/p>\n
In a May 8 filing for the United States District Court in the Southern District of Florida, O\u2019Neal\u2019s legal team said following \u201ca failed motion to serve\u201d the NBA star, two process servers \u201ctossed\u201d papers for a legal complaint in front of his moving car. According to the filing, O\u2019Neal did not stop to pick up the papers but left them in the road.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis purported \u2018service\u2019 is inadequate under Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Georgia law,\u201d said the filing. \u201cIt should be quashed, and the claims against Mr. O\u2019Neal dismissed.\u201d<\/p>\n
O\u2019Neal was one of many high-profile figures who endorsed FTX before its bankruptcy filing in November 2022. The NBA star appeared in a commercial saying he was \u201call in\u201d for the crypto exchange. Following the exchange\u2019s collapse and facing potential legal action, O\u2019Neal reportedly said he was \u201cjust a paid spokesperson\u201d for the firm.<\/p>\n
