The lawsuit<\/strong><\/a>, filed Sept. 25 in federal court in Washington, D.C., was brought by four individuals \u2013 victims or their family members \u2013 who alleged that the Justice Department improperly withheld or delayed depositing settlement proceeds into the Victims of State-Sponsored Terrorism Fund.<\/p>\n

The plaintiffs argue that under the Victims of State-Sponsored Terrorism Act, 100% of the proceeds of crimes and 75% of the civil proceeds from cases like Binance\u2019s must go into the fund, which compensates victims. According to the lawsuit, the Justice Department has only contributed about $898.6 million to the fund and plans to allocate $1.5 billion to a separate fund for crime victims, which the plaintiffs say is illegal.<\/p>\n

The lawsuit seeks a court order requiring the DOJ to deposit all eligible Binance proceeds into the victims fund.<\/p>
