Binance申请动议，以驳回FTX Estate的$ 1.76B诉讼

意见：Binance提出了一项动议，驳回了FTX庄园提起的17.6亿美元的诉讼，指控已倒闭的加密交易所试图将责任归咎于

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已提出一项动议，驳回了FTX遗产提起的17.6亿美元的诉讼，指控已倒闭的加密交易所试图将责任归咎于自己的失败。

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.

该诉讼于2023年5月提起，声称Binance参加了2021年的FTX股票回购交易，该股票的资产不当。

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的法律团队在5月16日在特拉华州破产法院提起的动议中辩称，该诉讼“合法不足”，而FTX的崩溃并未受到市场操纵或敌对行动的触发。

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于内部不当行为，这最终导致了Sam“ SBF” Bankman-Fried对七项欺诈和阴谋罪的定罪。

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

该动议说：“原告假装，由于历史上最庞大的公司欺诈之一，FTX并未崩溃。”

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的团队补充说，在股票回购后16个月内，FTX仍然是一个持续的关注，并且“没有合理的主张”当时的交易所无力偿债，Binance的团队补充说：“投诉未能宣称可以予以救济的索赔。”

Zhao’s tweet and FTT crash

赵的推文和ftt崩溃

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.

该诉讼还指责前Binance首席执行官Changpeng Zhao引发了一个级联，该级联通过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.

作为回应，Binance认为Zhao的推文是基于公开的关注点。实际上，“ Binance决定清算其剩余的FTT的决定是'由于最近的启示，尤其是2022年11月2日，Coindesk的文章，它揭露了Alameda Research的资产负债表。

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.

该公司进一步捍卫了赵的评论，即binance旨在最大程度地减少市场影响。 “投诉不包含此类事实”，以证明Binance无意进行。

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在对法院的管辖权提出质疑时说，包括Binance Holdings，Binance.com和Binance Chain在内的任何外国实体都没有在美国纳入或维持其主要营业地点”，因此属于法院的范围。

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.”

该文件还批评原告的叙述是基于“纯粹猜想的州法律要求”的“抢夺国家法律索赔”，其中大部分来自被定罪的欺诈者的事后猜测。”

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

Binance已要求法院以偏见驳回所有索赔。 FTX庄园尚未提交回应。
