Shaquille O’Neal has been served in an FTX class action lawsuit.
"I wanted you to know the good news that we just served personally Shaquille O'Neal outside his house in Atlanta," Adam M. Moskowitz, the attorney leading the lawsuit, said in a statement. "The good news is his home video cameras recorded our service and we have made it very clear, he is not to destroy and/or erase any of these security tapes, because they must be preserved for our lawsuit."

Attorneys alleged in the motion that after an attempt to serve O'Neal in Texas, the process server "was sent an ominous and threatening text message by O'Neal or someone acting on his behalf."
The lawsuit accuses Bankman-Fried, O'Neal and other celebrity spokespeople, including Tom Brady and Larry David, of defrauding FTX investors.
"Mr. O'Neal will now be required to appear in federal court and explain to his millions of followers his 'FTX: I Am All In' false advertising campaign," Moskowitz said Sunday night.
Here's the list of celebrities being sued for promoting FTX:
- Tom Brady - NFL
