Divya Gadasalli submitted a claim in a federal court, declaring that Binance stopped working in its responsibility to stop the fraudsters. She presumably lost digital possessions she had bought on Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) to the fraudsters and thinks that Binance, fellow exchange Poloniex (which is now owned by TRON creator Justin Sun), and American banks TD Bank and Abacus Federal Savings Bank ought to be held responsible for the loss. She is requiring $8 million from the accused.

” People are lonesome from the pandemic, and crypto is very hot today. The mix of the 2 has truly made this an effective rip-off,” Jan Lee, a scientist at the online fraud-prevention company Sift, informed the New York Times.
