What About a "'Let's Go Brandon' Was a Hallucination in the First Place" Defense?

From De Ford v. Koutoulas, decided last month by Judge Paul Byron (M.D. Fla.) but just posted on Westlaw, which has to do with a class action over alleged misstatements in the sale of the Let’s Go Brandon cryptocurrency (LGBCoin)

Further, Defendants Koutoulas and LGBCoin LTD submitted fabricated authority across at least eight separate filings …. Plaintiffs have catalogued more than forty such instances in a spreadsheet attached to their Motion. Federal courts around the country are taking a firm stance against AI-hallucinated case citations. This is just one of Defendant Koutoulas’s many sanctionable acts, including terminating sanctions.

Recall that the “Let’s Go Brandon” phenomenon emerged from an NBC sports reporter hearing fans at a NASCAR race chanting “Fuck Joe Biden,” and misunderstanding this as “Let’s Go Brandon” (the winner of the race was named Brandon Brown).
