On April 22, according to Cointelegraph, a US judge granted Binance's motion to transfer a case involving its alleged assistance in money laundering to the Southern District Court of Florida on the grounds that a similar case was already pending there. The case, filed in Washington in August 2024, focuses on the same core issues as a lawsuit filed in Florida in June 2023, alleging that Binance allowed cybercriminals to use its platform for money laundering, US District Judge Barbara Rothstein said in a ruling on April 21.
Judge Rothstein noted: While the proposed plaintiff groups are described slightly differently in the two lawsuits, they essentially cover individuals whose cryptocurrency was stolen and transferred to Binance accounts during the relevant period. Therefore, the court finds that the plaintiff groups in both cases are similar enough to apply the first-to-sue principle.
The US judge cited the "first-to-prosecute rule" to transfer the Binance money laundering case to Florida
