Binance Says U.S. Courts Dismissed Anti-Terrorism Lawsuits Against Exchange and CZ

An Alabama federal judge dismissed the complaint against Binance and other defendants as an impermissible shotgun pleading that did not clearly state each party’s alleged liability, while allowing plaintiffs to amend by April 10.

Fact Check
The claim is accurately supported by recent legal developments in March 2026. A federal judge in the Southern District of New York dismissed the 'Raanan v. Binance' case, which involved 535 plaintiffs and 64 terrorist attacks. Subsequently, an Alabama federal court also dismissed claims in a separate ATA-related lawsuit, which Binance has publicly celebrated as its second major ATA victory. While the Alabama court may have allowed for an amended complaint (as noted in some headlines), the initial dismissal of all current claims is confirmed.

Summary

An Alabama federal court dismissed a lawsuit alleging that Binance and other defendants facilitated terrorist financing, ruling that the complaint was an impermissible shotgun pleading. The judge said the filing failed to specify each defendant’s individual liability, which did not satisfy federal pleading requirements. Plaintiffs were given until April 10 to submit an amended complaint. The update adds the court’s specific characterization of the filing while confirming that the dismissal was procedural rather than a final resolution of the claims.
