为什么这些 LUNA 投资者对 LUNA 提起集体诉讼 Binance.US

每份文件 提交 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”.

从这个意义上说,他们声称加密货币和数字资产是美国证券交易委员会(SEC)的非注册证券。 他们基于这样一个事实,即 LUNA 的成功或失败取决于中心化的第三方 Terraform Labs (TFL) 及其联合创始人兼首席执行官 Kwon Do-Hyung,也称为 Do Kwon。

集体诉讼声称:

U ST 被宣传并作为一种“安全”资产出售给投资者,可以用来赚取可观的回报,包括以利息的形式。 UST 和 LUNA 各自的价格都取决于并将继续取决于 TFL 的努力和成功(或失败)。

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

美国证券监管机构对其在加密货币方面的立场一直模棱两可。 据业内某些参与者称,委员会未能提供法律和监管的明确性。

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.”

发言人 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 硬币(BNB)。

此外,一项调查来自 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.

路透社昨天的文章是对时间和资源的巨大浪费。 这是我要说的最后一次,也是我们团队与作者互动的最后一次。
