Celsius 於 8 月 9 日起訴 Tether,指控穩定幣發行者非法清算其比特幣抵押品以收回未償還貸款
破產的加密貨幣貸款機構Celsius已起訴穩定幣發行商Tether及其某些關聯公司,指控其非法清算其比特幣抵押品以收回Celsius所欠的未償還貸款。該投訴於 8 月 9 日提交,還指控穩定幣發行人違反了兩家公司簽署的代幣協議。
Celsius 於去年 7 月根據美國破產法第 11 章申請破產保護,欠債權人超過 47 億美元,資產負債表存在 12 億美元的缺口。這家加密貨幣貸方此前曾宣稱擁有超過 170 萬用戶。
Celsius Accuses Tether of Unlawful Bitcoin Collateral Liquidation
Celsius alleges in the complaint that Tether unlawfully liquidated a portion of the creditor’s Bitcoin collateral on August 11, 2022, to settle an outstanding loan owed by Celsius to the stablecoin issuer. The complaint states:
“The collateral was liquidated without Celsius’ knowledge or consent and in breach of the Token Agreement, which prohibited Tether from unilaterally offsetting any amounts owed by Celsius against the collateral.”
The complaint further alleges that Tether was barred from directly recovering the loan from the Bitcoin collateral under the terms of a loan agreement between the two companies. Instead, it adds, Tether was only permitted to deduct the loan amount from any future minting fees payable to Celsius.
Celsius alleges that the liquidation resulted in a loss of about 2.4094 BTC, valued at roughly $2.4 billion at the time of filing the complaint. The complaint seeks to recover the lost Bitcoin from Tether.
Accusing the stablecoin issuer of fraud, the complaint also alleges that the proceeds from the liquidated Bitcoin were transferred to Tether in a series of “fraudulent transfers” over the Tron blockchain. It adds that the transfers were made to wallets that are not owned or controlled by Celsius.
Tether Terms Celsius Lawsuit ‘Baseless,’ Alleges Misrepresentation
In a response filed with the court on September 22, Tether termed the complaint a “baseless lawsuit” that seeks to “improperly” impose the costs of Celsius’ mismanagement and failure on the stablecoin issuer. It stated:
“The complaint also misrepresents the facts and ignores the numerous defenses that Tether has to the claims asserted against it by Celsius.”
Tether argued that the complaint is “replete with mischaracterizations” of the relevant agreements and events, and that Celsius is attempting to “rewrite history” to support its claims. The stablecoin issuer further stated that the complaint “ignores the clear contractual provisions” that support Tether's actions.
“Celsius is trying to use this litigation to avoid the consequences of its own misconduct and to shift blame for its failure to Tether,” the response added.
Meanwhile, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino expressed confidence that the company will win the lawsuit, adding that there are “plenty of flaws in the claimant's filing.” He stated:
“Celsius is trying very hard to shift the blame for their mismanagement onto Tether. We are sure that the truth will come out and we will win this case. Plenty of flaws in the claimant’s filing.”
Separately, Ardoino clarified that the lawsuit will not impact USDT holders. “Celsius is trying to shift the blame for their mismanagement onto Tether. We are sure that the truth will come out and we will win this case,” he noted in a tweet.
