Lack Of Facts Kills Bitcoin Cash Hijack Suit, Fla. Judge Says
Law360 (April 1, 2021, 7:32 PM EDT) Prominent bitcoin investor Roger Ver and several other individuals and bitcoin-related entities secured a victory in Florida federal court with the dismissal of an antitrust suit by cryptocurrency company United American Corp., which alleged they schemed to hijack the Bitcoin Cash network.

Attorney-at-law Bert Samuels is seeking immediate answers into whether four Jamaicans arrested at sea by the United States Coast Guard were “kidnapped” under the veil of the Shiprider Agreement two months ago.
His query has to do with the recent demolition at sea of the Jamaican-registered vessel
Lady Lawla and the taking into custody of its four-man Jamaican crew, who are yet to be repatriated even after a judge in the Southern District Court of Florida ruled that their detention be terminated.
The men, Anthony Clark (captain), Radcliffe Simmons, Howard Patterson and Warren Rowe, remain in US custody.
