Scooter was named as one of 25 “John Doe” defendants in an amended suit filed in the Southern District of New York, according to court documents. The law firm behind the filing is Burwick Law.
Burwick alleges Scooter threatened other influencers on X with “livelihood-destroying campaigns” and tried to position himself to profit from “future scam launches,” the firm wrote in its amended complaint. The suit says those statements aimed to secure invites to exclusive launches.
Scooter, whose X profile is linked here, responded to the allegations on the platform. He wrote, “I will be discussing multiple legal angles with my legal team to file for potential defamation.” He later added, “my name/brand will not be manipulated and tarnished for your enjoyment and engagement.” (tweet)
The complaint names headline defendants Pump.fun and Solana’s Foundation and Labs entities, and also lists individuals including Alon Cohen and Anatoly Yakovenko, along with various social media users. The litigation seeks class-action certification, alleging a “coordinated criminal organization that constructed and operated a rigged, unlicensed gambling operation” across Solana and Pump.fun ecosystems, according to the filing.
For clarity, defamation is a legal claim for false statements that harm reputation. Written defamation is commonly called libel.
Burwick Law describes itself as a crypto litigation firm and says it has brought claims worth billions; more about the firm is available on its site (Burwick Law). Protos reached out to both Burwick Law and Scooter for comment; neither responded before publication.
