    4. Former professional basketball player Shaquille O’Neal has faced a lawsuit concerning unregistered NFTs of the Astral project. The case has been ongoing for over a year, and O’Neal will now need to address the claims.

    Case History

    The lawsuit, which started over a year ago, raises claims against O’Neal regarding unregistered securities that he promoted online. The current suit alleges that Astral and Galaxy tokens are securities that were not registered under federal laws.

    Court's Decision

    In an order dated August 16, Miami federal court judge Federico Moreno found that the plaintiffs properly alleged O’Neal to be a 'seller' of the Astral NFT project. The judge rejected the claims that O’Neal controlled the project. Additionally, the court acknowledged that the plaintiffs sufficiently alleged that Astral and Galaxy tokens are securities under federal law.

    Judge Moreno wrote that the lawsuit 'sufficiently alleged that Astral and Galaxy tokens are securities subject to federal securities laws.'Federico Moreno

    Current Situation

    O’Neal’s lawyers argue for the case's dismissal, claiming he is neither a 'seller' nor a 'control person' of the project and that the NFTs and Galaxy tokens are not securities under U.S. law. Currently, Astral tokens are valued at approximately 0.106 SOL, equivalent to around $15.50 on the Magic Eden marketplace.

    Shaquille O’Neal must respond to the lawsuit's claims by September 12. O’Neal's representatives have not yet commented on the case.
