The Feud between Yuga Labs & Scott+Scott
Law firm Scott+Scott started acquiring Yuga-backed NFTs and tokens back in April up until June with the hopes of guaranteed returns which is also promoted by Yuga Labs. Unfortunately, instead of getting guaranteed returns, the law firm is suspecting that they may experience losses because the Ethereum token plummeted in value over the last three months.
Although the firm is already in the preliminary stage of seeking plaintiffs who also suffered losses in association with the purchase of Yuga-backed NFTs and tokens from April to June, they have not left a response yet regarding the said announcement.
