According to a late 2021 investigation by The Age and Sydney Morning Herald, Craven and Tehrani founded the crypto casino Stake.com in Melbourne in 2017, contrary to popular belief. Stake.com, the primary shirt sponsor of English Premier League soccer team Everton, has developed into a business with a potential market worth of up to $1 billion thanks to Canadian pop star Drake serving as its principal brand ambassador.
Craven recently made headlines in Australia when he broke the previous record for a Toorak mansion by paying $80 million for it. Entities associated with Craven earlier this year paid $38 million for another Toorak property.
Stake.com's creators were adamant that Freeman's assertions were untrue. The company went so far as to say that the lawsuit was an attempt to distribute false information. The statement went on to say, "The complaint filed by Chris Freeman contains internally inconsistent, intentionally misleading, and provably false allegations."
The company declared that it would resist Freeman's pressure and maintain its position. The Bitcoin casino's creators had a lot of faith that the court would quickly dismiss Freeman's claims.
