An Am Law 100 firm filed a lawsuit in federal district court in California on behalf of a corporation that develops software related to the Nibiru Chain and is seeking discovery to uncover the players behind a $4 million malicious email spoofing attack.

“This will be important for people to look at because … I think it will be one of those test cases in the blockchain space,” said Dr. Tonya M. Evans, a tenured law professor at Penn State Dickinson Law who is an expert on crypto law and policy. Evans is not involved in the action filed by the plaintiff, Nibi Inc., against the defendant, John Doe.
