Judge Denies Consolidation of FTX Lawsuits, Reprimands Celebrity Defendants for Improper Request

A federal judge in Florida is considering dismissing NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal and tennis athlete Naomi Osaka from the FTX lawsuit, as it is unclear whether they have been served. The judge has given the FTX customers until December to show cause, and has reprimanded other celebrity defendants for requesting to push back a scheduled conference without following the proper steps. Meanwhile, a judge has denied the request to consolidate five proposed class-action suits against FTX.
