According to the complaint, Tristan Thompson says World Mobile wrongly terminated a two-year WMTX token endorsement deal and continued using his identity after the partnership ended.
Tristan Thompson has sued World Mobile Group in Delaware’s Chancery Court over a May 2025 brand ambassador agreement that allegedly promised quarterly distributions of WMTX tokens worth up to $1 million per year for two years. According to the complaint, Thompson promoted the UK-based crypto telecom company on social media, made public appearances, and served as Chief Digital Equity Officer as part of the deal, which was publicly launched at TechCrunch Disrupt 2025 alongside a community-owned mobile network called Uplift. The dispute began in December 2025 when World Mobile said it had accidentally transferred more tokens than intended in a quarterly payment. Thompson’s legal team says he proposed crediting the excess against his next distribution, but the company rejected that approach, issued a notice of material breach, and terminated the contract in March 2026. Thompson alleges the reasons for termination were manufactured and that World Mobile continued using his name, image, and likeness after ending the relationship. The three-count suit seeks unpaid compensation, damages, interest, and an order blocking further use of his identity.
