The U.S. court is said to have dismissed the case worth around USD 150 million against the cryptocurrency derivatives exchange FTX. It was said the suit was made due to market manipulation and unlicensed securities sales, but the court has not found any solid grounds to continue with the lawsuit.
The company called Bitcoin Manipulation Abatement LLC filed the suit for the sale of unlicensed securities in the U.S. and market manipulation.
It was said in the report that:
Defendant Alameda Research LLC’s motion to dismiss Bitcoin Manipulation Abatement LLC’s Amended Complaint in the above-captioned action came on regularly for hearing before the Court on February 13th, 2020. After considering the papers submitted by the parties and the argument of counsel, the Court finds that plaintiff has failed to comply with the requirements of Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b) or 8(a)(2), and that dismissal is warranted under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(1) and 12(b)(6). Accordingly, Alameda Research LLC’s motion to dismiss is granted, and the Amended Complaint is dismissed in its entirety with prejudice.
In a reaction to the news infamous CZ (the CEO of Binance) said:
A market maker from a smaller futures exchange tried to attack @binance futures platform. NO ONE was liquidated, as we use the index price (not futures prices) for liquidations (our innovation). Only the attacker lost a bunch of money, and that was that
It was clear that something went on but as always these things are hard to prove. This is not the first case of its kind but it is important that Binance had security measures in place to keep its customers safe..
