Fynn Kliemann auctioned off digital artworks for more than 200,000 euros. But because, according to Kontraste research, he did not adhere to his own auction conditions, he could face claims for damages.
Kontraste asked dtb rechtsanwälte about this. According to Dr Pascal Decker, a partner at the law firm, the victims are entitled to compensation, depending on the market value of the NFTs. Decker does not accept Kliemann's excuses. "It doesn't matter if you apologise afterwards for something you supposedly didn't know better beforehand when you could easily have known: The liability remains."
