US Federal Judge Dismisses XRP Influencer Defamation Suit Under Anti-SLAPP Law
A federal court in Washington dismissed a defamation lawsuit brought by XRP influencer Jake Claver against content creator Zach Rector over business allegations.
A federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington dismissed a defamation lawsuit filed by XRP influencer Jake Claver against content creator Zach Rector on September 2. Judge Kymberly K. Evanson ruled under Washington's Uniform Public Expression Protection Act, determining that Rector's 2025 videos contained no actionably false statements.
The litigation stemmed from three videos published by Rector regarding Claver's companies, Digital Ascension Group and Digital Wealth Partners. The videos cited Claver's admissions in a separate New York lawsuit brought by payments processor Verivend Inc., where court records show Claver acknowledged fabricating emails, wire transfer records, wallet balance dashboards exceeding $1 million, and impersonating Verivend personnel.
Judge Evanson dismissed all claims—including defamation, conspiracy, tortious interference, and breach of contract—without prejudice, while awarding Rector the right to recover legal fees and litigation expenses. Claver has been given until September 23 to submit an amended complaint.

The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
