Guy Ofir, the lawyer representing the Leviev family, issued a statement detailing Leviev’s intentions in the case. “In the next phase, we will file a lawsuit against Hayut and any other affiliate that will work with it, including some websites that have joint ventures with Hayut and / or have offered to buy cameos from it.
