The lawsuit claims that Akridge controlled and operated the accounts in question from early March to mid-May, during which time he allegedly stole the staking rewards. The value of the tokens involved in the lawsuit has not been disclosed, although Rossi has requested that parts of the lawsuit remain confidential due to the “huge amounts” involved.
