DECLARATION OF LARRY DAVID IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANTS, 

STEPHEN CURRY, LARRY DAVID, GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS, LLC, 

SHOHEI OHTANI, AND NAOMI OSAKA’S MOTION TO DISMISS FOR LACK OF 

PERSONAL JURISDICTION

I, Larry David, declare under penalty of perjury as follows:

1. I am a defendant to the above-captioned action. I have personal knowledge of the 

facts set forth in this declaration, unless otherwise stated, and I could and would testify 

competently to them if called as a witness.

2. I am employed as a comedian, actor, writer, director, producer, and content creator. 

At all times relevant to this case, I have lived and maintained my permanent residence in Los 

Angeles, California. I continue to reside in California today.

3. In January of 2022, I entered into an agreement with West Realm Shires Services 

Inc. d/b/a FTX U.S. (“FTX US”) to appear in a commercial (the “Advertisement”), which was to

premier during telecast of the 2022 Super Bowl, on February 13, 2022 (the “Advertising 

Contract”). Attached as Exhibit A is a redacted true and correct copy of the Advertising Contract. 

I executed the Advertising Contract from my home in Los Angeles, California.

4. The Advertising Contract provided a Berkeley, California mailing address for 

sending FTX U.S. any notices, waivers, consents, and other communications required or permitted 

by the Advertising Contract. Ex. A ¶ 12.

5. The Advertising Contract provided that any disputes arising thereunder would be 

governed by laws of the state of California, and called for arbitration of any such disputes in Los 

Angeles, California by a Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) arbitrator 

pursuant to JAMS’s Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures.1 Ex. A ¶ 13.

6. The Advertising Contract provided locations for the provision of my services, all 

of which were within the state of California. For instance, the agreement provided that the preproduction fitting session would occur at my office in Santa Monica, California, and tentatively 

provided that all production days would occur in Los Angeles, California. Ex. A ¶ 4.B-C.

7. The Advertising Contract made no mention of the state of Florida. 

8. At no point did I travel to Florida for any purpose related to my Advertising 

Contract, or pursuant to any relationship with FTX U.S. or any of its affiliates. I have not traveled 

to Florida in at least ten years.

9. To my knowledge, none of the agents or employees I employed to negotiate the 

terms and conditions of my Advertising Contract with FTX were located in the State of Florida. 

1 At the time I entered the Advertising Contract, I also executed a Restricted Stock Purchase 

Agreement with FTX Trading Ltd. The Restricted Stock Purchase Agreement provided that any 

disputes arising thereunder would be governed by laws of Antigua and Barbuda, and called for 

arbitration of any such disputes in Antigua and Barbuda or in my state of residence (i.e., California) 

under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce.

10. I did not appear in Florida on behalf of FTX U.S. or any FTX-related entity, nor 

did I take any other action in the State of Florida related to the Advertising Contract or any other 

agreement with FTX U.S. or any FTX-related entity. Aside from the Advertisement created as 

part of the Advertising Contract, I did not otherwise promote or publicly discuss FTX U.S., any 

FTX-related entity, or any FTX products or services.
