Crypto influencer Scooter explores defamation claim against Burwick Law

Crypto influencer Scooter says he will be will be “discussing multiple legal angles to file for potential defamation” after he was apparently named as one of 25 “John Doe” defendants in a suit filed in the Southern District of New York.

Scooter was named in Burwick Law’s amended suit after he — according to the law firm’s contextualization — threatened other influencers via X with “livelihood-destroying campaigns.”

Burwick alleges that Scooter wanted to profit from “future scam launches” and broadcasted an intention to use social media to secure his invite into these exclusive launches.

However, Scooter noticed those allegations and responded, “I will be discussing multiple legal angles with my legal team to file for potential defamation.” 

The influencer, who often tweets sarcastically or in subtext for humorous purposes, then followed-up by saying, “my name/brand will not be manipulated and tarnished for your enjoyment and engagement.”

Defamation is a tort under statutory and state common laws and can include written statements like libel when someone knowingly and injuriously lies to third parties in a physical communication like print in order to cause reputational damage.

The headline defendants of the lawsuit are Pump.fun and Solana’s Foundation and Labs entities. However, it names individual defendants, including Pump.fun founder Alon Cohen and Solana founder Anatoly Yakovenko, as well as a variety of social media users.

The litigation is active and is seeking class action certification against the whole group of defendants who allegedly participated in a “coordinated criminal organization that constructed and operated a rigged, unlicensed gambling operation” across Solana and Pump.fun ecosystems.

Burwick Law is a controversial, crypto litigation firm that claims to have put billions of dollars worth of claims before federal judges.

Protos reached out to Burwick Law and Scooter for comments on this disagreement. Neither responded prior to publication.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
