The lawsuit alleged that O’Neal served as the face of Astrals, urging investors to “(h)op on the wave before it too late.” Even as cryptocurrency exchange FTX collapsed in November 2022, O’Neal posted a graphics interchange format (GIF) on The Wolf of Wall Street’s community message board Discord that read “I’m not F***ing Leaving,” according to the court document. The lawsuit alleged that O’Neal subsequently left the project and “the value of Astral’s financial products plummeted.”
