EOS Network Participants Consider Legal Action Against Block.one
The founder of the EOS Network Foundation has suggested that participants should consider taking legal action against major investor Block.one (B1). This suggestion comes after B1 failed to invest the promised $1 billion during the network’s initial coin offering (ICO) in January 2018. Yves La Rose, founder of the EOS Network Foundation stated that this would be one way to hold B1 accountable for their broken promises regarding investment into the network ecosystem.
Alternative Option – Hard Fork
An alternative option proposed by La Rose was a hard fork which would exclude all tokens held by B1, completely disassociating them from their former backer. He also highlighted that token holders purchased tokens relying on representations of ongoing investment into EOS, which never came leading some to conclude that B1 never intended to make these investments.
Foundation Prepared To Assist In Claim Against B1
If there is enough interest from token holders in making a legal claim, then a class action lawsuit could be made by La Rose and his team at EOS Network Foundation who are prepared to assist anyone interested in bringing such an action forward against Block.one.
