An Am Law 100 firm partner filed a federal lawsuit in Florida over an alleged international investment and real estate fraud that he said was emblematic of how social media influencers promoted cryptocurrencies, except the rap artist endorsed himself and swindled seven figures.

David Haft, a partner at Lewis Brisbois Bisgaard & Smith in Fort Lauderdale, represents the plaintiffs, Patrick Muller and Mouna Bouzid, who alleged that Iteb “Swagg Man” Zaibet and multiple other defendants violated civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act law.
