Machi Big Brother withdrew a defamation lawsuit against ZachXBT after he edited an allegedly defamatory article.
Jeffrey Huang, a famous Taiwanese music celebrity known as Machi Big Brother, has withdrawn a lawsuit against ZachXBT, an online investigator. The lawsuit’s end comes after ZachXBT made changes to an article Huang found offensive.
Earlier in June 2022, ZachXBT wrote an article accusing Huang of taking money wrongly in connection with his past work in the world of cryptocurrency. The court never proved these accusations. Huang denied them and had the part about taking money wrongly removed from the article.
The Story Behind the Lawsuit
On June 16, 2023, Huang took legal action against ZachXBT in Texas. He said that the article’s claims were not true. He also made it clear that he’s doing everything by the book when asked about a possible court order tied to his business activities.
ZachXBT then asked the community for money to help with legal costs. People quickly gave more than $1 million. Some big names in the crypto world, like Changpeng Zhao from Binance and Jesse Powell from Kraken, gave a lot too.
Finding a Solution Without Court
ZachXBT updated his article with new information and changes from himself. He did this without being told to by the court. This act showed that he wanted to make things right, and Huang saw it that way too. They both agreed that it was time to end the legal fight.
ZachXBT has a strong reputation for researching things in the crypto world. People use his findings in court cases and other legal matters. He cares about the truth and works hard to find it.
Huang’s choice to withdraw the lawsuit shows that sometimes talking and working together can solve problems better than a court battle. By choosing to work together, both sides found a way to end their disagreement without more legal fighting.
