Investors in Logan Paul’s troubled NFT gaming project CryptoZoo are reportedly still waiting for any specific details on the 1000 Ether (ETH) refund (worth $1.93 million at current prices) that was promised back in January. In a YouTube video posted on June 30, “internet detective” Coffezilla — the person who initially brought the project’s issues to light in December 2022 — asserted that Paul’s communication with the CryptoZoo community has dried up over recent months: “It’s been six months, so here’s a follow-up. Logan Paul has not paid back his victims, he hasn’t talked about it since he first announced he was gonna pay them back. And what’s worst of all, he doesn’t seem to have a plan in place to refund anyone.” “How do I know that? Well because I've been asking Logan for that plan to refund people, the entire t...

Shaquille O’Neal has finally been served, according to lawyers representing a class-action lawsuit against FTX and celebrity spokespeople who appeared in promotional materials for the defunct exchange.  A process server was reportedly able to reach O’Neal during the broadcast of the Miami Heat vs. Boston Celtics game in Miami, Florida, on Wednesday, May 24.  Ironically, the game was being played at what is now Kaseya Arena, after being renamed from FTX Arena following the eponymous exchange’s collapse. However, this isn’t the first time that the law firm claimed to have served O’Neal, who was named in the lawsuit in November 2022.  Last month, the lawyers said that a process server had reached O’Neal outside of his Texas house and served him. O’Neal’s lawyers, however, claimed that the papers had been thrown at a car and landed on a public road.  “It seems absurd to have to go to such great lengths to serve Mr. O’Neal, who is a deputy of the law,” Adam Moskowitz, one of the lawye...

Arbitrum, the Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution, stopped sending transactions to mainnet for roughly two hours on Wednesday due to a software bug affecting the optimistic rollup’s sequencer. The snafu effectively left more than $2.2 billion in crypto in the lurch, locked inside dapps running on the blockchain, including GMX and Uniswap. Arbitrum, like other rollup-centric networks, is intended to relieve Ethereum mainnet of activity by providing users an off-chain environment in which to transact. The company behind Arbitrum is Offchain Labs. Every so often, Arbitrum must batch those transactions together and forward them to Ethereum for finalization. Code associated with a network node crucial to this process — the sequencer — was responsible for the outage.  In order for the node to send the transactions to Ethereum, one of the two wallets associated with the node needs enough ETH to pay for transaction fees.  Arbitrum developers explained in a tweet thread that a “malfunction”...
