SEC Wants Court To Deny Dismissal of Binance Lawsuit

In response to the latest request by Binance, CEO CZ, and Binance.US to dismiss the lawsuit, the U.S. SEC filed a motion seeking an order to file an omnibus brief of no more than 80 pages.

The SEC is preparing a lengthy response to the motions by the defendants to dismiss the lawsuit. The regulator argues defendants have made overlapping legal arguments in support of their motions.

“Rather than filing separate briefs responding to each motion, the SEC respectfully submits that it is in the interests of judicial economy to permit the SEC to respond to both motions in an omnibus brief.”
