A California judge has dismissed all but three of 16 claims against AT&T, filed in seven months by crypto investor Michael Terpin. He alleged one of the telco's employees cooperated with a hacker using a SIM swapping fraud and stole almost $24m worth of digital currency from his account. Terpin claimed he was hacked twice in 2018 and is seeking $200m in punitive damages and $24m in compensation. AT&T rejects the allegations.
