A Florida court has reopened a lawsuit against Binance, potentially holding the crypto exchange accountable for a $80 million Bitcoin theft. The appeals court found that Binance’s US infrastructure and affiliates created enough connection to the state to warrant jurisdiction in this case. The plaintiff, Michael Osterer, claims his funds were stolen from a Binance account in 2022 and that the platform failed to freeze the stolen assets promptly, allowing the thieves to convert and withdraw the funds. This decision follows Binance’s previous legal battles in the US, including class action lawsuits alleging the exchange facilitated illicit money laundering, and cases involving potential involvement in Hamas transactions. The case is set to proceed in Miami-Dade County with potential for further appeal.
