Lawsuit: Pending RaiTheGuy v. lukeyyyMC_

Case Filing

IN THE FEDERAL COURT OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF REDMONT
CIVIL ACTION


RaiTheGuy (represented by Justice Compass Law Firm)
Plaintiff

v.

lukeyyyMC_
Defendant

COMPLAINT
The Plaintiff complains against the Defendant as follows:

On March 24, 2025 at 2:47 PM MST, the defendant posted an auction on the marketplace titled “Filthy Rich Mystery Box”. The starting bid was $50,000. The plaintiff won the auction for a price of $65,100. Upon payment and acceptance of the mystery box, the plaintiff was absolutely crushed. The items within had a value far less than the starting bid. Even now, some of the items within the box have not had any transactions in two years, making them worthless. The defendant’s response was simple: mystery boxes are a form of gambling so it does not matter what was in the box. The plaintiff felt robbed. Lukeyyy_MC has made a living off of scamming citizens of Redmont with the hope of winning big in his Mystery Box scheme. The plaintiff had no way of knowing what the contents of the box was or what their value could be. The defendant never posted any method to his madness on the starting bid, and in doing so violated the law. Lukeyyy_MC’s disregard for the law and his fellow neighbors has caused RaiTheGuy and countless others to feel powerless and in a significantly worse spot than they were before their interactions with the defendant.

I. PARTIES​

1. RaiTheGuy (Plaintiff)
2. lukeyyyMC_ (Defendant)

II. FACTS​

1. LukeyyyMC_ posted the Filthy Rich Mystery Box for auction for a starting bid of $50,000. (P-001)
2. The items listed in P-002 are the items that were a part of the mystery box.
2. RaiTheGuy wins the auction for a price of $65,100. (P-005)
3. RaiTheGuy paid for and received the mystery box from LukeyyyMC_. (P-006)
4. The defendant states that mystery boxes are a form of gambling. (P-003)
5. According to the Consumer Price Index published by the Department of Commerce, the approximate value of the box between 2024 and 2025 is $764.34 (P-002).
6. Some items in the mystery box have no record in the CPI in 2024 and 2025 (P-002, P-007 through P-010).

III. CLAIMS FOR RELIEF​

1. As the defendant is running a gambling or gaming activity, he is in violation of the Commercial Standards Act, Section 15, requiring gaming institutions to display the odds of gaming activities in a visible area adjacent to the activity. Nowhere in the auction description does it state anything close to the odds of the mystery box being worth at least the starting bid set by the defendant.

2. In addition to Section 15, the defendant is also in violation of Section 6 of the Commercial Standards Act. Fraud, per the law, is to intentionally misrepresent or omit important facts to a victim who relies on this misrepresentation. The title of the auction being “Filthy Rich Mystery Box” gives the claim that by being the winner, you will come into items that make you “filthy rich”. This is different from other mystery boxes that the defendant has put up for auction, which includes titles such as “Soldier Mystery Box”, “Art Mystery Box”, “Best Mystery Box EVER Made”, among others. The consumer relies on these titles to have a glimpse on the contents of each box and to make a determination on if they will participate in the auction.

3. The defendant is also in violation of Section 8 of the Commercial Standards Act. These items on their own face value per the CPI provided in evidence suggest that the contents would be valued at $764.34, and the auction itself started at $50,000, a 6,441.59% markup. The winning bid amount by the plaintiff caused a 8,417.15% markup in value. Market Manipulation is the act of fraudulently inflating the value of an asset of which you have responsibility for. The defendant was able to manipulate the market of each of these items by lumping them together and calling it a mystery of what is inside, either knowingly or recklessly causing the markup.

IV. PRAYER FOR RELIEF​

The Plaintiff seeks the following from the Defendant:
1. $65,100 in Compensatory Damages - Restoration of price paid for mystery box.
2. $30,000 in Punitive Damages - For the outrageous practice of not posting gaming odds, posting a fraudulent auction, and leading in market manipulation.
3. $28,530 in Legal Fees - 30% of the total monetary damages.
4. Lukeyyy_MC issues a public apology for defrauding consumers in the #economic channel of the DemocracyCraft Discord server.
