FTX Files $1.8 Billion Lawsuit Against Binance and Changpeng Zhao

FTX 对币安和赵长鹏提起 18 亿美元诉讼

FTX has filed a lawsuit against Binance and its former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, seeking to recover nearly $1.8 billion. The lawsuit, filed on November 10, alleges that Binance and Zhao received these funds as part of a fraudulent share repurchase deal in July 2021.

FTX 已对币安及其前首席执行官赵长鹏提起诉讼，寻求追回近 18 亿美元。该诉讼于 11 月 10 日提起，指控币安和赵在 2021 年 7 月进行的欺诈性股票回购交易中收到了这些资金。

Allegations of Fraud

欺诈指控

FTX alleges that the share repurchase deal was fraudulent because FTX and its trading arm, Alameda Research, were insolvent at the time. The lawsuit claims that Bankman-Fried used FTX depositor funds to fund the transaction, which raised concerns about the legitimacy of the deal.

FTX 声称，此次股票回购交易具有欺诈性，因为 FTX 及其交易部门 Alameda Research 当时资不抵债。诉讼称 Bankman-Fried 使用 FTX 存款人资金为交易提供资金，这引发了人们对交易合法性的担忧。

CZ's Role

长泽的角色

The lawsuit also accuses Zhao of exacerbating the situation with damaging public statements. Zhao's tweets in November 2022, particularly one about Binance selling off its FTT holdings, allegedly triggered a massive withdrawal crisis at FTX. This led to a rapid collapse in the value of FTX's assets, further destabilizing the exchange and leaving creditors with significant losses.

该诉讼还指控赵通过破坏性的公开言论加剧了局势。据称，赵在 2022 年 11 月发布的推文，特别是有关币安出售其 FTT 资产的推文，引发了 FTX 的大规模提款危机。这导致 FTX 资产价值迅速暴跌，进一步破坏了交易所的稳定，并给债权人带来了重大损失。

Response from Binance

币安的回应

Binance has yet to respond in detail to the lawsuit, with a spokesperson dismissing the claims as meritless.

币安尚未对这起诉讼做出详细回应，发言人驳回了这些指控，认为这些指控毫无根据。
