Защо тези инвеститори на LUNA заведоха колективен иск срещу Binance.НАС
По документ подадена with the U.S. District Court of Northern District of California, Binance.US users want compensation for their LUNA-UST investments. The lawsuit has been filed as a class action in the United States against Binance.US and its CEO Brian Shroder.

The plaintiff claims that Binance.US has failed to “abide by U.S. federal” and securities regulations. They claimed that the exchange platform offered UST, Terra Classic algorithmic stablecoin, and LUNA now dubbed LUNC as a “safe investment”.
В този смисъл те твърдят, че криптовалутата и цифровите активи са нерегистрирани ценни книжа в Комисията за ценни книжа и борси на САЩ (SEC). Те основават този аргумент на факта, че успехът или провалът на LUNA зависи от централизирана трета страна, Terraform Labs (TFL) и нейния съосновател и главен изпълнителен директор Куон До-Хюнг, известен също като До Куон.
В груповия иск се твърди:
U ST беше рекламиран и продаден на инвеститори като „сигурен“ актив, който може да се използва за получаване на значителна възвръщаемост, включително под формата на лихва. Съответните цени на UST и LUNA зависеха и продължават да зависят от усилията и успеха (или неуспеха) на TFL.
As seen below, the plaintiffs presented a recent Binance.US advertisement as evidence. In this picture, the exchange promotes its UST staking product with a 19.63% annual percentage reward (APR) followed by a “High Yield, Safe, and Happy Earn”.

Despite the above, the plaintiffs claimed that the U.S.-based exchange allegedly failed its users when promoting its products:
Despite enjoying those fantastic profits, Binance U.S. plainly failed to comply with federal and state securities laws. Binance U.S. failed to disclose that UST is in fact a security, and that it is selling these securities, even though (i) there is no registration statement in effect for them (…).
The LUNA Aftermath, Binance Under Public Scrutiny
Американският регулатор на ценни книжа е двусмислен относно позицията си по отношение на криптовалутите. Според някои участници в бранша Комисията не успя да предостави правна и регулаторна яснота.
In step, it has engaged in legal battles with some of the actors in the crypto industry, including Binance.US and the LUNA’s Do Kwon. The class action claims:
Binance U.S.’s failure to comply with the securities laws, and its false advertisements of UST, have led to disastrous consequences for Binance U.S.’s customers: in May 2022, in the span of just a few days, UST lost essentially all its value—a loss of approximately $18 billion. Investors who purchased UST on Binance U.S. were wiped out, learning quickly that, contrary to Binance U.S.’s advertisements, UST was not “safe,” “stable,” or “fiat-backed.”
Говорител на Binance.US told Bitcoinist the following regarding the class action and its accusations:
Binance.US is registered by FinCEN and adheres to all applicable regulations. These assertions are without merit and we will defend ourselves vigorously.
The exchange has experienced a lot of scrutiny in past days as it faces an SEC investigation related to the alleged sales of an unregistered security, as mentioned, their native token Binance Монета (BNB).
Освен това разследване от Reuters claims that Binance has been used as a platform to allegedly launder money, and support a drug operation in Russia. Binance’s CEO Changpeng Zhao dismissed the accusations.
The Reuters article yesterday is a huge waste of time and resources. This is the last I'll say on it, and the last our team will interact with the writer.
