Bitwise Asset Management, a prominent cryptocurrency investment firm, is currently facing a $2 million lawsuit from the Mukamal family. The family alleges that Bitwise engaged in fraudulent activities, negligence, and a "pump and dump" scheme.

This practice, known as "pump and dump," is illegal and unethical in the investment world. The family further accuses Bitwise of negligence in managing their investments, resulting in significant damages.
