**[Binance and CZ Win Lawsuit Filed by Victims of Dozens of Terrorist Attacks, Case Dismissed]**
BlockBeats News, March 9: According to Reuters, a U.S. federal judge on Friday dismissed a civil lawsuit that sought to hold Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, and its founder CZ accountable for allegedly facilitating dozens of global terrorist attacks through their trading activities.
U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas in Manhattan, New York, stated that the 535 plaintiffs (including victims and their families) failed to reasonably present allegations proving that the defendants "intentionally associated with, participated in, or ensured the success of these terrorist attacks through their actions." The plaintiffs claimed that these attacks occurred between 2017 and 2024 and attributed them to so-called Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs), including Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran's Revolutionary Guard, Islamic State, Kataib Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and al Qaeda.
The plaintiffs sought to hold Binance and CZ accountable, accusing them of transferring hundreds of millions of dollars in cryptocurrency to foreign terrorist organizations and conducting multi-billion-dollar transactions with Iranian users, indirectly benefiting agents responsible for carrying out the attacks.
Judge Vargas noted that while Binance and CZ may have had a general understanding of the platform's role in terrorist financing, their only connection to these foreign terrorist organizations was that "they or their affiliates held accounts on the Binance platform and conducted transactions in a fair trading relationship."
