In a recent development surrounding the $1 billion Binance lawsuit involving soccer icon Cristiano Ronaldo, the plaintiffs are escalating their efforts to serve him with a public notice. The November DOJ-Binance controversy, which already led to the conviction of the exchange and its founder, CZ Zhao, has now extended to legal actions against Ronaldo.
Challenges in Indictment
Efforts to indict Ronaldo for allegedly promoting unregistered securities have faced obstacles. The plaintiffs, undeterred, are strengthening their case strategies to overcome these challenges.
Court Petition for Public Notice
The plaintiffs have formally requested authorization from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida to serve Ronaldo with a public notice. The notice aims to reach the soccer superstar through the social media platform X (formerly Twitter), emails to his legal counsel, and publication on a designated service website.
Unconventional Approach to Ronaldo's Residence
Due to the difficulty in determining Ronaldo's current residential address, an unconventional approach is being pursued. The notice will be disseminated through various channels, considering the elusive nature of the soccer player's residence.
Continued Investigation
Should immediate authorization not be granted by the court, the plaintiffs are committed to ongoing investigations into Ronaldo's whereabouts. They intend to effect service through authorized means as per the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and applicable laws.
