Benjamin Pasternak, founder of the Solana-based token platform Believe, has been arrested and charged with second-degree strangulation and third-degree assault related to a March 31 incident. Pasternak denies the charges and is set to appear in court on June 11. Concurrently, he faces a class action lawsuit alleging deceptive practices on the Believe platform, including token ownership misrepresentation and fee violations, potentially leading to significant consumer losses. The lawsuit seeks to freeze on-chain assets and claims violations of consumer protection laws.
