Bankrupt crypto exchange FTX has filed a lawsuit against Binance and its former CEO Zhao Changpeng, seeking to recover $1.8 billion fraudulently transferred by former FTX head Sam Bankman-Fried.
The funds were transferred to Binance and Zhao in July 2021 as part of a share repurchase agreement, but FTX alleges that the transfer was made fraudulently.
FTX accuses Zhao of posting malicious tweets to destroy his rival before FTX's collapse.
Binance denies the claims and says it will vigorously defend itself.
