The lawsuit is a big deal in the crypto world, and it’s all about something that happened back in 2021.

Here’s what happened: In July 2021, FTX’s co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) made a deal with Binance, including CZ and other Binance officials. The deal was about buying back shares of FTX. As part of the agreement, Binance ended up owning about 20% of FTX’s international platform and 18.4% of its U.S. business. The lawsuit claims that things went wrong after that, and now FTX is asking for $1.8 billion in damages.
