If you purchased or acquired Hashlets, Hashpoints, HashStakers, or Paycoin from GAW Miners, LLC and/or ZenMiner, LLC, a class action lawsuit may affect your rights.
What is the lawsuit about? Plaintiffs allege that GAW Miners, LLC and ZenMiner, LLC made false and misleading statements to potential investors about their virtual currency mining operations. Plaintiffs allege that GAW Miners, LLC and ZenMiner, LLC sold a progressive array of products and investment contracts to investors that GAW Miners LLC and ZenMiner LLC claimed would yield profits from mining or otherwise investing in virtual currency. Plaintiffs allege that, because GAW Miners, LLC and ZenMiner, LLC sold far more computing power than they owned and dedicated to virtual currency mining, GAW Miners, LLC and ZenMiner, LLC owed investors a return larger than any actual return GAW Miners, LLC and ZenMiner, LLC were making on their limited mining operations.
GAW Miners, LLC and ZenMiner, LLC have defaulted and the sole remaining defendant is Stuart A. Fraser. Plaintiffs allege, among other things, that Mr. Fraser assisted the other defendants and exercised control over them such that he is liable for any injuries caused by the misconduct allegedly perpetrated by GAW Miners, LLC and ZenMiner, LLC described above. Mr. Fraser denies all allegations against him. The Court has not decided that Mr. Fraser is liable.
