A U.S. federal judge in Manhattan, Jeannette Vargas, has dismissed a civil lawsuit against Binance and its founder, Zhao Changpeng. The plaintiffs accused Binance of facilitating global terrorist attacks through its trading activities. However, the court ruled that the plaintiffs failed to provide direct evidence linking specific transactions to the attacks, such as fund flows, wallet ownership, or transaction timing. The judge has allowed the plaintiffs 60 days to file an amended complaint. The ruling also criticized the plaintiffs' 891-page complaint as excessively lengthy and not meeting the liability standards under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
