Three families affected by a Hamas attack in Israel have filed a lawsuit against Binance and its former CEO Changpeng Zhao, alleging they provided 'substantial assistance' to Hamas terrorists. The lawsuit, filed under the U.S. Anti-Terrorism Act in the New York Southern District Court, accuses Binance of processing transactions for Hamas from 2017 to mid-2023. The plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive damages. This follows Binance's $4.3 billion settlement with the DOJ for Anti-Money Laundering infractions and Zhao's resignation and guilty plea to U.S. criminal charges.
