Binance Challenges FTX Clawback Suit

Binance Seeks Dismissal of FTX’s $1.76 Billion Clawback Lawsuit

• Binance has filed a motion to dismiss a $1.76 billion lawsuit from the FTX estate.
• The lawsuit claims Binance received crypto assets from an insolvent FTX in July 2021.
• FTX’s collapse is attributed by Binance to fraud by its own leadership, not Binance’s actions.
• Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried is serving a 25-year prison sentence for fraud.
• Binance argues the court lacks jurisdiction over its foreign entities and defends its tweets as factual.

Binance contends that the $1.76 billion lawsuit filed by the FTX estate is legally flawed, arguing that FTX’s collapse was due to internal fraud rather than any actions by Binance or its former CEO Changpeng Zhao. The exchange also challenges the court’s jurisdiction over its foreign entities and defends its public statements as truthful.
