Crypto Litigator Kyle Roche Removed from His Firm’s Class-Action Dept. Anonymous website Crypto Leaks recently published video footage of Kyle Roche – a known crypto litigator – talking about what a huge stake he has in a company known as Ava Labs, which dabbles in blockchain and distributed ledger technology. Kyle Roche Is Feeling the HeatIn the video, he also appears to talk about filing suit against competitors of the company. He also refers to class-action plaintiffs and jurors as “idiots.” This has set up an improper conduct investigation surrounding Roche, who recently claimed that the videos taken of him were done without his knowledge or consent, and thus they are illegal and cannot be used against him in a court of law. Roche also says that the videos were edited in a way that makes him look bad, and that he was apparently drunk while making the comments. Roche Freeman – the law firm that Kyle works with – is not taking any chances and has removed him from its class-action department, claiming that the video suggests he possesses bias and thus he cannot be trusted to handle future litigation appropriately. Thus far, he will not be involved in ongoing cases against the stable currency Tether or the crypto exchange Bitfinex.
