Jane Street seeks dismissal of Terraform lawsuit, claiming attempt to shift blame
: Quantitative trading firm Jane Street has filed a motion with the court to dismiss the insider trading and market manipulation lawsuit filed by Terraform Labs, which accuses the firm of causing the collapse of the UST/LUNA algorithmic stablecoin.In its filing submitted to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, Jane Street stated that the lawsuit is "baseless" and represents an attempt by Terraform's bankruptcy estate to shift responsibility for the collapse of a multi-billion dollar ecosystem onto a third party.The firm has requested the court to dismiss the entire case "with prejudice," meaning the plaintiff cannot refile the same claims.Jane Street further pointed out that the fraudulent conduct associated with Terraform has already been prosecuted, adjudicated, and penalized, and that it was not involved. Do Kwon has previously pleaded guilty to conspiracy and wire fraud charges and is currently serving a 15-year sentence. A jury has also found Terraform and Kwon liable for securities fraud.
