Blige v. Terry

Summary

The Nevada Supreme Court affirmed the default judgment arising from allegations that Blige obtained cryptocurrency and money for cars through threats to disclose Terry's personal information. It held that a defaulting party cannot be deemed to have impliedly consented to litigate an unpleaded claim, but concluded that the challenged extortion-based award was independently supported by pleaded theories of conversion and unjust enrichment. The court also upheld the discovery-sanction default, evidentiary rulings, Bitcoin valuation, and damages for conversion and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
