Breaking: Binance And US SEC Submits Response To Intervention By Third Party In The Lawsuit
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and crypto exchange Binance have submitted their response to entity “Eeon” which seeks to intervene in the case on behalf of customers. Both US SEC and Binance oppose the petition to intervene by third-party Eeon as it fails to establish requirements for intervention and consent under the law.
Binance And US SEC Oppose Eeon Petition to Intervene
Defendant Binance and plaintiff US SEC opposed Eeon’s petition to intervene in the lawsuit, according to the District Court for the District of Columbia.
Binance gave three reasons to dismiss the petition by Eeon. These are — no consent of the SEC, failing to identify as a real party in interest, and failing to meet requirements for intervention under the law. In addition, the counter-claim by Eeon makes vague allegations and unrelated to the lawsuit.
US SEC argues Eeon is a serial pro se litigant whose causes have failed to gain traction in federal courts. SEC requested the court to deny the petition because the Exchange Act prohibits a private litigant’s intervention, participation will not impact the lawsuit as its claims matches with defendants’ arguments, and failing to meet requirements for intervention. Also, Eeon’s counterclaims seeking relief against the SEC and Binance are contrary.
Thus, both plaintiff and defendants oppose any intervention by Eeon in the SEC lawsuit against Binance and CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao.
