Influencer served settlement demand via NFT following $7M token presale

A nonfungible token (NFT) influencer has been served with a settlement demand via an NFT — which casually dropped the “F-bomb” several times — alleging that the influencer engaged in wire fraud “at a minimum” on a recent $7 million token presale.
