On July 31, 2023, the Miami Herald published an article entitled 'Red flags on top of red flags': Problems mount for UM athletics booster John Ruiz, reporting that "[Chief Executive Officer John H.] Ruiz and his health insurance claims company LifeWallet—previously known as MSP Recovery—are the target of federal and civil criminal investigations."

On August 1, 2023, MSP Recovery confirmed the Miami Herald's allegations in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), disclosing that "[t]he Company received a subpoena dated March 1, 2023 from the SEC regarding the aforementioned subject matter, and subsequently received a subpoena on May 10, 2023 requesting documents in connection with the Company's financial statements for the periods ended June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2022 that required restatements as disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2023."
