Prečo títo investori LUNA podali hromadnú žalobu proti Binance.SK

Podľa dokumentu podal 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.

Tvrdí to žalobca 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”.

V tomto zmysle tvrdili, že kryptomena a digitálne aktíva sú neregistrované cenné papiere v americkej komisii pre cenné papiere a burzu (SEC). Tento argument založili na skutočnosti, že úspech alebo neúspech LUNA závisel od centralizovanej tretej strany, Terraform Labs (TFL), a jej spoluzakladateľa a generálneho riaditeľa Kwona Do-Hyunga známeho aj ako Do Kwon.

Skupinová žaloba tvrdí:

U ST bol propagovaný a predaný investorom ako „bezpečné“ aktívum, ktoré by sa dalo použiť na získanie značných výnosov, a to aj vo forme úrokov. Príslušné ceny UST a LUNA záviseli a naďalej závisia od úsilia a úspechu (alebo neúspechu) 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”.

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

Americký regulátor cenných papierov bol nejednoznačný, pokiaľ ide o jeho pozíciu ku kryptomenám. Podľa niektorých aktérov v tomto odvetví Komisia neposkytla právnu a regulačnú jasnosť.

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.”

Hovorca pre 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).

Okrem toho vyšetrovanie z 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.
