Binance申請動議，以駁回FTX Estate的$ 1.76B訴訟

意見：Binance提出了一項動議，駁回了FTX莊園提起的17.6億美元的訴訟，指控已倒閉的加密交易所試圖將責任歸咎於

Binance has filed a motion to dismiss a $1.76 billion lawsuit brought by the FTX estate, accusing the defunct crypto exchange of trying to deflect blame for its own failure.

Binance已提出一項動議，駁回了FTX遺產提起的17.6億美元的訴訟，指控已倒閉的加密交易所試圖將責任歸咎於自己的失敗。

The lawsuit, filed in May 2023, claims that Binance participated in a 2021 buyback deal for shares in FTX, which was improperly funded with customer assets.

該訴訟於2023年5月提起，聲稱Binance參加了2021年的FTX股票回購交易，該股票的資產不當。

However, Binance’s legal team argued in its motion, filed on May 16 at the Delaware Bankruptcy Court, that the suit is “legally deficient” and that FTX’s collapse was not triggered by market manipulation or hostile action.

但是，Binance的法律團隊在5月16日在特拉華州破產法院提起的動議中辯稱，該訴訟“合法不足”，而FTX的崩潰並未受到市場操縱或敵對行動的觸發。

Instead, the filing stated that the crypto exchange’s downfall was due to internal misconduct, which ultimately led to Sam “SBF” Bankman-Fried’s conviction on seven counts of fraud and conspiracy.

相反，文件指出，加密交易所的倒台是由於內部不當行為，這最終導致了Sam“ SBF” Bankman-Fried對七項欺詐和陰謀罪的定罪。

“Plaintiffs are pretending that FTX did not collapse as the result of one of the most massive corporate frauds in history,” the motion said.

該動議說：“原告假裝，由於歷史上最龐大的公司欺詐之一，FTX並未崩潰。”

Pointing to the fact that FTX remained a going concern for 16 months after the share repurchase and that there was “no plausible claim” the exchange was insolvent at the time, Binance’s team added: “The Complaint fails to state a claim on which relief can be granted.”

Binance的團隊補充說，在股票回購後16個月內，FTX仍然是一個持續的關注，並且“沒有合理的主張”當時的交易所無力償債，Binance的團隊補充說：“投訴未能宣稱可以予以救濟的索賠。”

Zhao’s tweet and FTT crash

趙的推文和ftt崩潰

The lawsuit also accuses former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao of triggering a cascade that led to FTX’s downfall through a tweet on Nov. 6, 2022 announcing the liquidation of FTT tokens.

該訴訟還指責前Binance首席執行官Changpeng Zhao引發了一個級聯，該級聯通過2022年11月6日的推文宣布宣布清算FTT令牌。

In response, Binance argued that Zhao’s tweet was based on publicly known concerns. “Binance’s decision to liquidate its remaining FTT was, in fact, ‘due to recent revelations’ — in particular, the Nov. 2, 2022, CoinDesk article” that exposed Alameda Research’s balance sheet.

作為回應，Binance認為Zhao的推文是基於公開的關注點。實際上，“ Binance決定清算其剩餘的FTT的決定是'由於最近的啟示，尤其是2022年11月2日，Coindesk的文章，它揭露了Alameda Research的資產負債表。

The company further defended Zhao’s comment that Binance would aim to minimize market impact. “The Complaint contains no such facts” to prove Binance had no intention of following through.

該公司進一步捍衛了趙的評論，即binance旨在最大程度地減少市場影響。 “投訴不包含此類事實”，以證明Binance無意進行。

In challenging the court’s jurisdiction, Binance said none of the foreign entities named — including Binance Holdings, Binance.com and Binance Chain — “are incorporated in or maintain their principal place of business in the United States,” and thus fall outside the court’s reach.

Binance在對法院的管轄權提出質疑時說，包括Binance Holdings，Binance.com和Binance Chain在內的任何外國實體都沒有在美國納入或維持其主要營業地點”，因此屬於法院的範圍。

The filing also criticizes the plaintiff’s narrative as “a grab bag of state law claims” based on “pure conjecture — much of it sourced from a convicted fraudster’s hindsight speculation.”

該文件還批評原告的敘述是基於“純粹猜想的州法律要求”的“搶奪國家法律索賠”，其中大部分來自被定罪的欺詐者的事後猜測。 ”

Binance has asked the court to dismiss all claims with prejudice. The FTX estate has not yet filed its response.

Binance已要求法院以偏見駁回所有索賠。 FTX莊園尚未提交回應。

第四組包括由就業，財產和服務引起的索賠，將獲得允許索賠的78％。最後，第五組涵蓋了證券的索賠，將獲得其98％的索賠。

According to the plan, each group’s creditors will be paid pro rata if the total claim amount exceeds the available funds.

FTX破產案始於2022年11月，當時交易所在美國特拉華州的美國破產法院提出了第11章保護。

由於資金不當和內部不當行為，FTX無法滿足客戶提款請求引發破產，最終導致前首席執行官Sam Bankman犯下了七項欺詐和陰謀罪名。
