A federal court authorized the notice. You are not being sued. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.
- A lawsuit has been filed against Athena Bitcoin, Inc. (“Athena”), claiming it sent telemarketing text messages to people who requested that those messages stop.
- You are a potential class member if you are a Florida resident and, between July 1, 2021 and August 20, 2024, sent the message “stop” to Athena but received at least one text message from Athena more than 15 days after.
- The court has decided that Athena is liable for sending these text messages, but has not made a decision on how much it owes. There is no money available now and no guarantee that there will be. Your legal rights are affected, however, and you now have a choice to make, as described below.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OPTIONS IN THIS LAWSUIT | DEADLINE | |
