Texas judge backs Logan Paul’s bid to escape CryptoZoo lawsuit

A Texas magistrate judge, Ronald Griffin, recommended that a federal court allow YouTuber Logan Paul's bid to dismiss a proposed class-action lawsuit over his defunct CryptoZoo NFT project. Griffin said the class group had not sufficiently tied Paul to its claims of financial loss, and he recommended permanently dismissing the commodity pool fraud claim while allowing the group to amend the other 26 claims. In a 75-page report, Griffin wrote that the group's option contract theory involved "mental gymnastics" that were "truly dizzying."
