Sphere 3D has filed a lawsuit against its partner Gryphon Digital for losing $500,000 worth of Bitcoin in a reported spoofing attack. The lawsuit was filed with New York’s Southern District Court on April 7.
Sphere 3D’s CEO, Patricia Trompeter, said about the subject:
“Today we filed litigation against Gryphon, the custodial management services provider of our blockchain and cryptocurrency-related services. Gryphon has put the Company’s assets at significant risk and willfully violated their contractual duties.”
The complaint states that Gryphon Digital’s CEO, Rob Chang, wired 18 BTC in January to a scammer who disguised himself as Sphere 3D’s chief financial officer. Chang sent another 8 BTC to the same address a few days later. The company seeks damages in excess of $75,000, exclusive of interest and costs.
