A Customer filed a lawsuit against an Italian fashion brand, Dolce & Gabbana, for inappropriate handling of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). He blamed these NFTs, which were sold with certain benefits, for losing 97% of their value due to delays and unkept promises.
The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan federal court on May 16, accused NFTs and associated benefits of delays in delivering them, which resulted in a significant drop in their value and losses.
According to court documents, the NFTs were marketed as providing owners with digital, physical, and advantages, tradable on the Ethereum blockchain. The person who filed the lawsuit, Luke Brown, says the digital items were delivered 20 days late and could only be used on a metaverse platform with very few users.
Furthermore, it took an additional 11 days before the items could be utilized, as the required approvals from the metaverse platform were not obtained in advance.
Brown, who alleges a loss of $5,800, is seeking to represent a proposed class of consumers who purchased from this NFT initiative. The complaint accuses Dolce & Gabbana of consistently not keeping its promises to the community.his lawsuit highlights ongoing concerns about the accountability and execution of digital asset projects in the fashion industry.
