- NBA champion alleges breach of contract and unauthorized likeness use in World Mobile Group deal - Lawsuit coincides with steep WMTX token decline and raises concerns over industry reputation On May 26, 2026, Law360 reported that Tristan Thompson, a retired NBA champion, filed a $2 million lawsuit in Delaware Chancery Court against World Mobile Group, a U.K.-based crypto telecom firm. According to Law360 on May 26, 2026, Thompson alleges breach of contract, unauthorized use of his likeness, and mismanagement of quarterly WMTX token distributions outlined in their endorsement agreement. The dispute centers on World Mobile’s alleged overpayment of tokens during one quarter, and Thompson proposed crediting the excess toward future distributions. However, he claims World Mobile abruptly terminated his contract after that proposal, and he further asserts that the company continued using his image after ending their partnership. Law360 reported on May 26, 2026, that World Mobile has defended its actions by citing Thompson’s refusal to return overpaid tokens and his partial sale of WMTX, and the company claims these actions breached contract terms. Meanwhile, Thompson’s legal team argues that the company manufactured a pretext to terminate the deal and is also seeking to bar any further unauthorized use of Thompson’s likeness. According to Law360 on May 26, 2026, and Complex on the same date, the controversy is notable for its potential impact on World Mobile’s standing in the crypto sector. As a result, the lawsuit has coincided with a sharp drop in the WMTX token price, which is now more than 95% below its all-time highs.
