A U.S. federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against cryptocurrency exchange Binance and its founder Changpeng Zhao which accused them of being liable for facilitating terrorist attacks around the world. U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas in Manhattan said ?the 535 plaintiffs, including victims and relatives of victims, did not plausibly allege ?that the defendants “culpably associated themselves with these terrorist attacks, participated in them ?as something they wanted to bring about, or sought by their actions to ensure their ?success.” The plaintiffs said the attacks occurred between 2017 and 2024, and attributed them to what ?they called foreign terrorist groups (FTOs) including Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, Islamic State, and al Qaeda.
