De ce acești investitori LUNA au intentat un proces colectiv împotriva Binance.S.U.A

Conform unui document depusă 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”.

În acest sens, ei au susținut că criptomoneda și activele digitale sunt valori mobiliare neînregistrate la Comisia pentru Valori Mobiliare și Schimb (SEC) din SUA. Ei au bazat acest argument pe faptul că succesul sau eșecul LUNA depindea de o terță parte centralizată, Terraform Labs (TFL), și de co-fondatorul și CEO-ul său, Kwon Do-Hyung, cunoscut și sub numele de Do Kwon.

Procesul de acțiune colectivă susține:

U ST a fost promovat și vândut investitorilor ca un activ „sigur” care ar putea fi folosit pentru a obține profituri substanțiale, inclusiv sub formă de dobândă. Prețurile respective ale UST și LUNA au depins ambele de eforturile și succesul (sau eșecul) TFL și continuă să depindă de acestea.

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”.

However, the advertisement seems to be from Binance, Binance.US’s parent company. The U.S.-based platform has tried to differentiate itself from the global exchange. These efforts have translated to their brand and marketing campaigns, as seen below.

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

Autoritatea de reglementare a valorilor mobiliare din SUA a fost ambiguă în ceea ce privește poziția sa cu privire la criptomonede. Potrivit anumitor actori din industrie, Comisia nu a reușit să ofere claritate juridică și de reglementare.

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.”

Un purtător de cuvânt pentru 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 Coin (BNB).

În plus, o anchetă de la 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.
