Binance, Changpeng Zhao sued in UK by investors seeking 310 billion won
A group of 1,692 UK investors has filed a class action lawsuit against Binance and its founder and former CEO Changpeng Zhao (창펑 자오), seeking damages and compensation for losses. The claim, lodged at the London High Court, alleges Binance sold and promoted crypto derivatives to UK consumers without authorisation from 2019. Plaintiffs say the conduct breached UK financial law and are also seeking interest under the High Court Act 1981.
