Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI has filed a federal lawsuit against a South Carolina man accused of using its Grok chatbot to generate child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and non-consensual explicit deepfakes, marking one of the first known legal actions by an AI developer against a user over alleged misuse of generative AI.The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in a federal court in Texas, alleges that Terry Harwood violated xAI’s terms of service by attempting to create sexually explicit AI-generated images involving both adults and minors. Harwood was arrested in February on separate charges related to the sexual exploitation of minors. His contact information was not immediately available, and xAI has not issued additional public comments on the case.According to the complaint, Harwood uploaded non-sexual images into Grok and allegedly attempted to transform them into explicit AI-generated content without consent. xAI claims the activity included efforts to produce child sexual abuse material and sexually explicit deepfakes of adults.The lawsuit comes as xAI faces growing international scrutiny over concerns that Grok and other generative AI tools can be exploited to create harmful or non-consensual synthetic media. The company said it actively monitors abuse and takes enforcement action against users who violate its policies.Court filings state that xAI has suspended 52,222 user accounts and submitted 73,604 reports to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) in 2026. According to the lawsuit, those reports have contributed to at least 244 arrests.xAI is seeking unspecified monetary damages and a permanent court injunction that would prohibit Harwood from accessing or using Grok in the future.In its filing, the company argued that the defendant intentionally weaponized its AI platform for criminal purposes,

Institutional crypto OTC markets are evolving beyond block trades as firms demand liquidity, settlement, and cross-border infrastructure services.






Summary















For most of its early history, the institutional crypto OTC market was defined by a single problem: how to move large blocks of Bitcoin or Ethereum without those orders moving the market against themselves. OTC desks existed to solve that problem, and the mechanics were straightforward. A desk aggregated liquidity across venues, quoted a price, and settled the transaction off-exchange. That was the value proposition, and for the institutions active in the market at the time, it was sufficient.



The market that exists today is considerably more complex. The institutions using OTC infrastructure now range from payment companies running millions of stablecoin conversions per month to sovereign wealth funds building digital asset exposure to regional exchanges managing fiat liquidity across multiple jurisdictions simultaneously. Their requirements go well beyond block execution, and the desks serving them have had to evolve accordingly. Understanding how that evolution unfolded and what it means for institutions evaluating OTC partners today is increasingly important as off-exchange activity accounts for a larger share of total institutional crypto volume.



From block trading to execution infrastructure



The original institutional OTC use case was straightforward: an investor wanted to acquire or liquidate a significant position in Bitcoin or Ethereum, and the depth available on public exchange order books at any given moment was insufficient to absorb the order without meaningful price impact. OTC desks solved
