Customers of FTX, the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange, accused Mr. O’Neal and other celebrities of illegally promoting it.

The collapse of FTX still resonates in the court system, with civil claims pending against former NFL quarterback, Fox lead NFL broadcaster, and minority Raiders owner Tom Brady.

Shaquille O'Neal has agreed to pay $1.8 million to settle a class-action lawsuit brought by investors in the collapsed crypto exchange FTX. The payout is approximately $1 million more than the $750,000 O'Neal was reportedly paid for his role in an FTX commercial.
