Federal Class Action Lawsuit Against Ben Pasternak, B24, Inc., and Believe Foundation on Behalf of Launchcoin, Pasternak, & Believe Token Buyers Filed
Burwick Law has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of Plaintiffs in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Ben Pasternak, B24, Inc. (d/b/a Believe, f/d/b/a Clout), Believe Foundation Inc., and Does 1 through 10. Pasternak is the founder and CEO of Believe, a Solana-based token launchpad formerly known as Clout that allowed anyone to create and trade crypto tokens through a mobile app or web browser with no technical experience required. The complaint alleges violations of New York General Business Law §§ 349 and 350, the California Unfair Competition Law, the California False Advertising Law, negligent misrepresentation, and unjust enrichment. The lawsuit seeks damages, restitution, and other equitable relief on behalf of a nationwide class.
According to the complaint, Defendants told buyers that Pasternak held "0 ownership" in the original token while allegedly maintaining insider control. Defendants then made at least twelve public promises of a "flywheel" buyback over five months that were never honored. On the day the buyback finally launched, Pasternak allegedly told buyers that "no individual or entity is getting coins for the next year at minimum" while approximately 40 million Foundation tokens had already been unlocked with no vesting restrictions. A forced October 2025 migration allegedly expanded total token supply by 33%, directed roughly 25% of the new tokens to insiders, and permanently destroyed the holdings of anyone who missed the two-week migration window.
The Believe platform launched in January 2025 on the Solana blockchain under the name Clout, offering a mobile-accessible launchpad for meme tokens and creator-backed digital assets. The platform accepted credit card payments and required no crypto wallet or prior experience. Believe cycled through three tokens: PASTERNAK (January 2025), LAUNCHCOIN (April 2025), and BELIEVE (October 2025). According to the complaint, the platform allegedly processed over $6 billion in cumulative trading volume, generating an estimated $54 million in platform fees. LAUNCHCOIN reached an all-time high of $0.3647 on May 15, 2025, pushing its market cap above $240 million and the total Believe ecosystem market cap past $400 million. By the time of filing, the BELIEVE token had lost 99% of its value from its peak, with alleged investor losses estimated in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Federal Class Action Lawsuit Against Opera Event, Community First Games, and Individual Founders on Behalf of Communi3 and Rifters NFT Purchasers Filed
Burwick Law has filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of Plaintiff Alex Orea in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against Opera Event, Inc., Community First Games, Brandon Byrne, Andrew Ringlein, Erik Bryant, Eddie Tsaio, and Matt Espinoza. The complaint alleges violations of California's Unfair Competition Law, California's False Advertising Law, and unjust enrichment. The lawsuit seeks restitution, disgorgement, and injunctive relief on behalf of a nationwide class.
According to the complaint, Defendants marketed Communi3 as a thriving enterprise software platform serving blue-chip clients including The Sandbox, Yield Guild Games, and Magic Eden, while selling a series of non-fungible token collections on the Solana blockchain tied to promises of a forthcoming cryptocurrency token called $SCI. The complaint alleges that Defendants told Mad Scientist NFT holders that ten percent of the $SCI token supply would be airdropped to them and projected a fully diluted market capitalization of $250 million to $500 million, with per-token prices of $0.25 to $0.50. The complaint further alleges that Defendants promised the $SCI token launch for Q3 2022, then December 2022, then Q1 2023, and that each successive promise served to keep investors from selling while Defendants continued collecting proceeds. The $SCI token was never launched and no airdrop was ever distributed.
The Communi3 platform launched in approximately 2021 as a pivot from Opera Event's original esports-focused software business. Defendants launched multiple NFT collections on the Solana blockchain between April 2022 and late 2023: Communi3: Laboratories (100 NFTs at approximately $100,000 each), Communi3: Mad Scientists (5,001 NFTs at 2 SOL each), Adorable Assistants, and Rifters: Exiles (7,037 NFTs at 10 SOL each). The complaint alleges that Defendants raised conservatively $6.5 million to $8 million or more in direct NFT mint proceeds. The complaint further alleges that Defendants promoted the project at NFT NYC 2022 in New York City, hosting an exclusive investor event and using the industry's flagship conference to reinforce the same representations they were disseminating through Discord, Twitter, and Medium. According to the complaint, in a June 2023 Discord exchange, Defendant Ringlein stated in substance that any investors who sued would be unable to recover against him because the Rifters entity had been organized in Panama and he was effectively judgment-proof. By early 2023, platform activity had ceased, the $SCI token had not launched, and the digital assets became effectively worthless.
