• Federal Court Records:1.0/5(7 cases)· checked Aug 30, 2026view ↗

  7 federal court records matched this company as a party in the RECAP archive: "Green Revolution Cooling Inc v. Riot Platforms Inc" (District Court, N.D. Texas, filed 2026-06-03); "Howell v. Riot Platforms Inc" (District Court, N.D. Texas, filed 2026-02-18); "Riot Platforms, Inc. v. Hash House Tech, Inc." (District Court, W.D. Texas, filed 2025-12-23); "Malikie Innovations Ltd. v.

At least one appears to be a BANKRUPTCY proceeding. Litigation presence is a caution flag requiring manual review, not proof of wrongdoing — the company may be a plaintiff, and party-name matches can collide with similarly named entities (case names listed above so a human can verify).

Google Search SummaryC

Riot Platforms' subsidiary Whinstone was sued by SBI Crypto in 2023 over alleged breaches of a hosting agreement at Riot's Rockdale, Texas facility (SBI claimed the infrastructure couldn't support promised mining capacity); the case reached a global settlement in February 2026. A real, resolved hosting-capacity dispute. (Search results also surfaced unrelated 'Riot Games' complaints, which are not this company and were excluded.)

Reddit Summary

Opened the r/Scams 'Bitcoin Mining Job Scam?' thread and read it in full: it is a WhatsApp task-scam impersonating Riot Platforms (fake $9,000/month 'miner' job, $80 start-up funds). Commenters call it a scam on sight. This is a third party abusing the name — explicitly NOT a Riot conduct finding, and must not be graded as one. Same pattern as the CleanSpark clone-domain thread.
