Binance users involved in a class-action lawsuit against Cristiano Ronaldo are taking unconventional steps in their pursuit, filing a motion to serve the elusive soccer star through alternative channels, including X.
Binance users who lodged a proposed class-action lawsuit against Cristiano Ronaldo over his promotion of the crypto exchange are now seeking to serve the elusive soccer player through other viable channels, including X (formerly Twitter).
The motion filed on Jan. 16, 2024, argues for alternative service due to difficulties in traditional methods. Their proposal involves e-mail, X and website publication, arguing that it complies with international agreements and provides notice to the defendant.
The motion highlights the uncertainty about Ronaldo’s current address in Saudi Arabia and claims the Hague Conventions don’t prohibit these service methods, especially when the person’s address is unknown.
