A quick tip on suing BlockFi, CEL, etc. (or any business for that matter) in small claims court. In order for your judgment to be good, you need to properly serve the entities. That means figuring out the appropriate name for the entity, addressing the Small Claims Complaint to the appropriate entity/person, and serving that entity/person

States require a business to have a designated agent for service of process for the stater where you are suing. Most times, this information is kept with the secretary of state for your state. You'll want to navigate to the SOS website and look for "business entity records" or "agent of process" search. That's the person/entity you will want to address the Complaint to effectuate service.

Pro Tip: every document after the Complaint must be served on the opposing party.

Small claims lawsuits are important. Getting a judgment against a soon to be insolvent entity (or anyone) is important to preserving your place in line in the event of bankruptcy. You likely will not be first in line, but you will have a place in line above a non-secured creditor (example: a credit card company).
