Atomic Wallet has won a ruling to dismiss a $100 million class action lawsuit related to its hack, citing lack of jurisdiction over the Estonia-based company.





In a significant legal victory for Atomic Wallet, a U.S. federal judge has dismissed a class action lawsuit against the Estonia-based cryptocurrency wallet provider stemming from a $100 million hack in June 2023. The ruling, handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Philip Bremer on September 10, 2024, noted that the court had no jurisdiction over the company, which has no substantial ties to the United States.

Background to the lawsuit

The class action lawsuit was launched by a group of 21 plaintiffs following a high-profile breach that resulted in significant funds being stolen from the Atomic Wallet platform. The plaintiffs alleged that the company, including CEO Konstantin Gladyshev and shareholder Pavel Sokolov, failed to properly protect user assets and were therefore liable for the losses resulting from the hack.

The plaintiffs’ argument was based primarily on the fact that Atomic Wallet’s advertisements were visible in Colorado and that one of the plaintiffs, Graham Dickinson, had interacted with the company’s customer support team. However, the defense argued that the company had “no ties to the United States,” a position that ultimately resonated with the court.

Court’s decision

Judge Brimmer noted that while the plaintiffs presented evidence of interactions with the company, that connection was not sufficient to establish jurisdiction. He emphasized that determining user location and liability was complicated because Atomic Wallet operates as a software-based service.

Judge Brimmer dismissed most of the claims, but allowed a potential extension of the lawsuit against Ilia Brusov, co-founder of Evercode Infinite, the company behind Atomic Wallet’s software. The judge gave the plaintiffs 21 days to argue why Brusov should remain in the lawsuit, and acknowledged that Brusov has a similar stake in Atomic Wallet, along with Sokolov, who has a 12.8% ownership stake.

What it means for the cryptocurrency industry

This ruling highlights the ongoing challenges and complexities surrounding jurisdiction in the digital currency space. As more companies operate across borders, legal frameworks often struggle to keep pace with technological advancements. The ruling also raises important questions about the responsibilities of cryptocurrency wallet providers in protecting user assets, especially in the face of increasing cyberattacks targeting the industry.

The results could have implications for how other cryptocurrency companies approach their legal strategies and user interactions, especially in jurisdictions where physical presence is minimal. As the cryptocurrency market continues to grow, the need for clear regulations and standards for security will become increasingly important.

conclusion

The dismissal of Atomic Wallet’s lawsuit represents a notable moment in the ongoing debate over cybersecurity and legal liability in the cryptocurrency space. As the cryptocurrency landscape evolves, both users and providers must remain vigilant in addressing security concerns and navigating the complexities of international law.

The outcome of this case could set a precedent for similar legal actions in the future, and highlights the importance of jurisdictional considerations in the rapidly changing field of digital finance.
