== Legal disputes == |
|||
In 2021, Amir Soleymani became involved in a legal dispute with [[Nifty Gateway]], a prominent NFT trading platform, over an auction for a [[Beeple]] artwork titled "Abundance." Soleymani had bid on the artwork but was ultimately outbid. The auction was a ranked auction, a format Soleymani claims he had not encountered before. He was expected to pay $650,000 for a lower-valued edition of the work, which led to a series of legal disputes. Soleymani filed a suit in the [[High Court of Justice|U.K. High Court]], questioning the fairness and enforceability of Nifty Gateway's terms.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Mendick |first=Robert |date=2022-11-12 |title=Liverpool art dealer’s David and Goliath fight with US billionaire twins to win his money back |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/11/12/liverpool-art-dealers-david-goliath-fight-us-billionaire-twins/ |access-date=2024-02-12 |work=The Telegraph |language=en-GB |issn=0307-1235}}</ref> The case has also seen a countersuit filed in New York, adding an international layer to the dispute.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/nifty-gateway-legal-battle-beeple-1234605528/ | title=NFT Platform Nifty Gateway, Collector Caught in Legal Battle over Beeple Auction | date=4 October 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://news.artnet.com/market/beeple-nifty-gateway-collector-dispute-2016787 | title=An Irate Collector is Suing the NFT Platform Nifty Gateway over the Terms of a Very Weird Beeple Auction | date=4 October 2021 }}</ref> |
