TOKYOMay 16 (News On Japan) – Businessman Yusaku Maezawa has filed a lawsuit against Meta, the company that operates Facebook, seeking 1 yen in damages in response to a series of investment frauds involving the impersonation of famous social media personalities.
Maezawa announced via his official account on X (formerly Twitter) that he has taken legal action against Meta and its Japanese subsidiary, demanding 1 yen in damages.

โI want to clarify whether their actions are illegal or not,โ Maezawa said. “I believe this is an important step toward preventing fraud. I will do my best.”
