FTX Lawsuit Alleges Fraudulent Share Repurchase Deal with Binance and CZ

FTX 訴訟指控幣安和 CZ 進行欺詐性股票回購交易

FTX, the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange, has filed a lawsuit against Binance and its former CEO, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), seeking to recover approximately $1.8 billion. The lawsuit, filed on November 10, alleges that this sum was received by Binance and CZ as part of a fraudulent share repurchase deal in July 2021.

破產的加密貨幣交易所 FTX 已對幣安及其前首席執行官趙長鵬 (CZ) 提起訴訟，尋求追回約 18 億美元。該訴訟於 11 月 10 日提起，指控幣安和 CZ 收到這筆款項，作為 2021 年 7 月欺詐性股票回購交易的一部分。

Alleged Insolvency at Time of Deal

交易時涉嫌破產

The dispute stems from an agreement in which FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried repurchased stakes from Binance in 2021. FTX claims that this repurchase was funded using a combination of FTT, BNB, and BUSD tokens.

爭議源於 FTX 聯合創始人 Sam Bankman-Fried 於 2021 年從幣安回購股份的一項協議。

However, FTX alleges that both FTX itself and its trading arm, Alameda Research, were insolvent at the time. Consequently, the exchange argues that the transaction was fraudulent.

然而，FTX 聲稱 FTX 本身及其交易部門 Alameda Research 當時均無力償債。因此，交易所認為該交易存在欺詐行為。

CZ's Alleged Role in FTX's Downfall

CZ 涉嫌在 FTX 垮台中扮演的角色

The lawsuit also accuses CZ of making damaging public statements that exacerbated the situation. Specifically, FTX claims that Zhao's tweets in November 2022, including one about Binance selling off its FTT holdings, triggered a massive withdrawal crisis at FTX.

該訴訟還指控 CZ 發表破壞性的公開聲明，加劇了局勢。具體來說，FTX 聲稱趙在 2022 年 11 月發布的推文（包括一篇有關幣安出售其 FTT 資產的推文）引發了 FTX 的大規模提款危機。

This crisis led to a sharp decline in the value of FTX's assets, further destabilizing the exchange and leaving creditors with substantial losses. The FTX estate contends that these actions were intended to undermine FTX's market position and cause its collapse.

這場危機導致FTX資產價值急劇下跌，進一步破壞了交易所的穩定，並給債權人帶來了巨大損失。 FTX 產業認為，這些行為旨在破壞 FTX 的市場地位並導致其崩潰。

Binance's Response

幣安的回應

Binance has not yet responded in detail to the lawsuit. However, a spokesperson has dismissed the claims as meritless.

幣安尚未對訴訟做出詳細回應。然而，發言人駁回了這些說法，認為這些說法毫無根據。
