According to People, after previously being involved in a lawsuit over the Believe platform's meme coin, Believe founder Ben Pasternak has been arrested in New York on charges of second-degree strangulation and assault. He has pleaded not guilty, and the case is scheduled to return to court on June 11. Public reports indicate that the charges stem from a March 31 conflict with his ex-girlfriend Evelyn Ha. Prosecutors claim that Ben Pasternak was staying at the Baccarat Hotel in New York at the time, with a nightly rate of around $2,000, partly to avoid being served civil lawsuits related to his crypto project Believe. https://(wublock123.com)/news/ben-pasternak-arrested-nyc-second-degree-strangulation-assault-60093
