Court Proceedings and Allegations
On July 11, 2025, Judge Naomi Reice of the Southern District of New York dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Dolce & Gabbana USA. The brand was accused of failing to fulfill its obligations related to the DG Family NFT project, which was launched in September 2024, resulting in losses for investors.
Overview of the DG Family NFT Fraud Case
The plaintiffs claimed that the DG Family project collected over $25 million and did not provide promised digital and physical goods, as well as event access. However, the court cleared the U.S. branch of Dolce & Gabbana from liability, stating that the parent company was responsible for the project.

Following the acquittal, it remains unclear how the case will proceed. Additionally, Dolce & Gabbana has faced past legal challenges, including a tax evasion case that was also dismissed.
