The administrator of Terraform Labs’ bankruptcy, Todd Snyder, has filed a lawsuit against Jump Trading, its executives William DiSomma and Kanav Kariya, accusing them of profiting unlawfully and contributing to the crash of Terraform in 2022, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Jump Trading faced scrutiny for its role in the TerraUSD and FTX crises. The TerraUSD/LUNA collapse led to massive losses for investors and a subsequent downturn in the crypto sector.
The administrator is seeking $4 billion in damages, alleging that Jump had a secret deal that affected TerraUSD’s stability.
After heavy losses and downsizing, Jump Trading still operates digital asset trading and market-making worldwide.
The crypto giant is enhancing its US crypto operations by revitalizing its digital asset desk and accelerating hiring for roles such as crypto engineers and policy liaison positions.
Jump Crypto, together with Galaxy Digital and Multicoin Capital, is backing Forward Industries, the largest Solana treasury entity.
