CZ faces lawsuit over alleged Hamas payments.
Civil suit claims Binance enabled suspicious transfers.
Saw this headline while finishing my evening espresso, and mon dieu, it’s a heavy one. A group of U.S. citizens whose families were affected by the Hamas attack in October 2023 have filed a civil lawsuit against Changpeng Zhao. According to the Financial Times, they claim CZ “facilitated” the movement of millions of dollars through Binance’s infrastructure back when he still ran the exchange.
Important detail: this is not a criminal case, and the accusations are based on the assumption that Binance may have processed suspicious transactions during that period. No hard proof has been presented publicly, and the filing itself leans heavily on speculation about how the exchange operated at the time.
From my sunny southern corner, I can’t help but notice how every big figure in crypto eventually becomes a magnet for geopolitical drama. It’s the cost of being at the center of global liquidity — even when your actual role is unclear, the headlines come in hot.
We’ll see how the case unfolds, but for now it’s another reminder that crypto sits right at the crossroads of tech, finance, and world politics. 🌊
