Scott+Scott Attorneys Strong Points
Recall that TerraUSD (UST) lost parity with $1 and went as low as $0.07 on May 25. Likewise, LUNA saw a massive 99.7% plunge between May 7 and May 12. Sadly, there has been no recovery in sight since both digital assets went south.
On this premise, Scott+Scott Attorneys contends that TerraForm Labs and other defendants violated provisions of the Exchange Act by carrying out fraudulent schemes that caused retail investors huge losses.
Secondly, the firm claims that the defendants failed to observe provisions of the Securities Act by selling non-exempt security without registration. Similarly, by participating in TerraForm Lab’s failure to register the Terra (LUNA) tokens, the firm holds that the defendants infringed provisions of the Securities Act.
According to the update, the case alleges that “the Defendants violated provisions of California Common Law by possessing the monetary value of Terra tokens at an inflated value which rightfully belongs to the Plaintiff and members of the Class.”

In terms of the California common law, the class action alleges that the defendants aided and assisted civil conspiracy.
Ultimately, Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP claims that TerraForm Labs and other defendants disregarded provisions of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”) when they handled the affairs of the enterprise using a racketeering activity pattern.
