COURTHOUSE,
Feb 2 – People taken hostage
by Hamas on October 7, 2023
and other victims of that
massacre on January 31 sued
Iran, Syria and Binance and
its founder in the U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York.
Binance
founder CZ is facing
sentencing in a case that
Inner City Press is reporting
on as it will on this one.
Here, the
complaint asserts that Binance
"processed numerous
transactions associated with
Hamas, providing a clandestine
financing tool that Binance
deliberately hid from U.S.
regulators." Its DOJ / OFAC
settlement is quoted from.
It is notably
that UNRWA has not been sued,
despite a dozen staffers
actually participating in the
October 7 massacre. The UN is
only not sued due to its
claims of total legal
impunity.
On February 1,
the case was wheeled out /
assigned to District Judge
John G. Koeltl, who also has,
among many others, the case of
the Julian Assange visitors
(to Ecuador's embassy in
London) against the CIA...
On February 2,
Judge Koeltl set an initial
conference... for July 2,
2024: "Minute Entry for
proceedings held before Judge
John G. Koeltl: Initial
Conference set for 7/2/2024 at
02:30 PM before Judge John G.
Koeltl."
