On April 22, according to Cointelegraph, a US judge approved Binance's motion to transfer a case involving its alleged assistance in money laundering to the Southern District Court of Florida, citing that a similar case was already under trial in the area. This case was filed in Washington in August 2024, focusing on the same core issue as a lawsuit filed in Florida in June 2023, which accused Binance of allowing cybercriminals to use its platform for money laundering. US District Judge Barbara Rothstein stated in her ruling on April 21. Judge Rothstein pointed out, "Although the two lawsuits have slightly different descriptions of the proposed plaintiff groups, they essentially cover individuals whose cryptocurrencies were stolen and transferred to Binance accounts during the relevant period. Therefore, this court believes that the plaintiff groups in the two cases have sufficient similarity to apply the 'first to sue principle'
