PALM BEACH COUNTY, FL (Boca Post) (Copyright © 2026) — A Palm Beach County man has filed a civil complaint in Palm Beach County Circuit Court alleging he was defrauded out of about $919,336 in cryptocurrency through what the lawsuit describes as a coordinated social engineering and fake trading platform scheme.
The case, Eric Lieberman v. Jane Doe a/k/a “Anais Durran,” Digital Era Global Limited d/b/a “Tokenlon,” and Binance Holdings Ltd., was filed April 2, 2026, in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County as Case No. 502026CA003736XXXAMB. The plaintiff is represented by Zoeller, Hayden & Thron, PLLC and Murphy’s Law: The Crypto Law Firm.
According to the complaint, plaintiff Eric Lieberman alleges an individual using the name “Anais Durran” contacted him in or around September 2025 and, over time, built what the lawsuit describes as a personal and emotional relationship through frequent communications. The complaint claims those communications were part of a scheme designed to gain his trust and persuade him to move cryptocurrency into a fraudulent investment setup.
The lawsuit says Lieberman was introduced to a purported cryptocurrency trading platform called Rutormax. According to the complaint, the platform displayed what appeared to be trading activity, account balances, and profits, but did not execute legitimate trades. Instead, the suit alleges the platform functioned as a controlled interface meant to induce deposits and block withdrawals.
The complaint claims Lieberman was told the platform was legitimate, that “Anais Durran” had successfully used it, and that large withdrawals had been completed without issue. After Lieberman deposited funds, the platform allegedly showed growing balances and profits. When he later tried to withdraw money, the complaint says he was told he had to make a $533,000 “verification deposit” before any withdrawal could proceed. The lawsuit alleges that requirement was a pretext to obtain more money and prevent him from accessing assets already transferred.
Lieberman claims he ultimately transferred 196.1874 Ethereum and 3.03723 Bitcoin through a series of transactions, with a total value of about $919,336 at the time of transfer. The complaint says those transactions are recorded on public blockchain ledgers and can be traced through wallet addresses, timestamps, and transaction histories.
According to the complaint, blockchain tracing shows the assets moved through intermediary wallets and into addresses and transaction pathways the plaintiff associates with Binance and Tokenlon. The lawsuit alleges some Ethereum was routed to wallets associated with Binance and through Tokenlon infrastructure, and that the Bitcoin followed a similar pattern into a Binance-associated deposit address.
The suit brings claims for conversion, fraud against the Jane Doe defendant, constructive trust, unjust enrichment, aiding and abetting conversion, preliminary injunction and equitable relief, and declaratory relief. Lieberman is asking the court to freeze all assets traceable to his transfers, prohibit any further transfer or conversion of those assets, require preservation of accounts and records, impose a constructive trust, order disgorgement and restitution, and award damages of about $919,336.
The complaint states these are allegations by the plaintiff and have not been proven in court. No response from the defendants was included in the filing reviewed by Boca Post.
