Binance and its founder and former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, are seeking records from Kevin O’Leary, Michael Lewis, Steven Ehrlich and BDO USA in a $1.76 billion clawback (court-ordered recovery of transferred assets) lawsuit brought by FTX Recovery Trust and FTX Digital Markets Ltd. The case concerns a July 2021 repurchase of stakes in FTX’s international business and U.S. parent, allegedly funded by Alameda Research while FTX was insolvent. The payment used FTT, BNB and BUSD, a dollar-pegged stablecoin. Chief U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Karen B. Owens allowed the claims against Zhao and four Binance entities to proceed on July 24, while dismissing claims against two former Binance executives and separate state-law claims.
