v.

SAM BANKMAN-FRIED, et al.,

OPPOSITION BY DEFENDANTS THOMAS BRADY, GISELE BÜNDCHEN,

UDONIS HASLEM, WILLIAM TREVOR LAWRENCE, KEVIN O’LEARY,

SHAQUILLE O’NEAL, AND DAVID ORTIZ TO PLAINTIFFS’ EXPEDITED MOTION 

FOR LEAVE TO CONDUCT JURISDICTIONAL DISCOVERY, AND TO AMEND 

THEIR COMPLAINT WITH ANY FACTS ARISING FROM SUCH DISCOVERY

Defendants Thomas Brady, Gisele Bündchen, Udonis Haslem, William Trevor Lawrence, 

Kevin O’Leary, Shaquille O’Neal, and David Ortiz (the “Remaining Non-FTX Defendants”) file 

this brief opposition to Plaintiffs’ Expedited Motion for Leave to Conduct Jurisdictional 

Discovery, and to Amend Their Complaint with Any Facts Arising from Such Discovery (“Motion”; 

ECF 163).

Plaintiffs’ Motion seeks “jurisdictional” discovery from Defendants Stephen Curry, Larry 

David, Golden State Warriors, LLC, Shohei Ohtani, and Naomi Osaka (collectively, the “NonResident Defendants”). See ECF 163 at 1. The Motion also, however, seeks to upend the existing 

schedule for briefing the motions to dismiss filed by the Remaining Non-FTX Defendants and the 

Non-Resident Defendants (ECFs 139, 154 & 156-59) – collectively, the “Motions to Dismiss” –

which briefing schedule the Court set over two weeks before Plaintiffs filed the Motion. See ECF 

132. Plaintiffs request leave to file an amended pleading “within twenty (20) days after completing 

Case 1:22-cv-23753-KMM Document 196 Entered on FLSD Docket 05/10/2023 Page 1 of 5

that brief jurisdictional discovery, so Plaintiffs may incorporate any additional facts that support 

personal jurisdiction over these FTX Non-Florida Defendants and address arguments raised in all 

Defendants’ motions to dismiss.” Motion at 1. Granting the request, of course, would require rebriefing of the Motions to Dismiss. 

For all of the reasons stated in the opposition filed by the Non-Resident Defendants (“NonResident Defendants’ Opposition”; ECF195), the Motion should be denied. Because the Motion 

does not seek leave to take discovery from the Remaining Non-FTX Defendants, they do not 

formally adopt Section I of the Non-Resident Defendants’ Opposition, although they submit that 

the arguments are well taken. 

However, as to Plaintiffs’ request to file a further amendment – and, correspondingly, 

change the existing briefing schedule for and require re-briefing of the Motions to Dismiss – the 

Remaining Non-FTX Defendants adopt Section II of the Non-Resident Defendants’ Opposition. 

Plaintiffs have already amended their pleading once as of right in this action, when they more than 

doubled the size of initial pleading (ECF 1), going from 41 pages to 97 pages, plus appending a

19-page “expert” report as an exhibit. See ECF 16.1 Given the incurable deficiencies in Plaintiffs’ 

existing Amended Complaint, which are not “technical pleading deficiencies” but incurable legal 

flaws, see Motions to Dismiss, the Remaining Non-FTX Defendants believe that no amendment 

should be allowed, if at all, until the Court rules on the Motions to Dismiss, which should be 

briefed on the schedule the Court set on April 11, 2023 (ECF 132).

1 Plaintiffs also amended their pleading in action styled Podalsky v. Bankman-Fried, No. 22-cv23983-KMM (S.D. Fla.). See Podalsky ECF 4.
