英文原文(有刪減):

Divya Gadasalli, A 25-year-old Texas woman, said a man she met online scammed $8 million left by her murdered father in a pig butchering scam. She’s now suing crypto exchange Binance because Binance played a role in perpetuating the scam.

Pig butchering scams are typically a setup in which scammers reach out through texts or via dating apps to build a relationship with victims. Scammers generally then look to scam their victims into fake investments and disappear. 

The judge overseeing the case found that Gadasalli’s claims lacked jurisdiction and failed to state an appropriate claim. “Gadasalli cannot point to a single fact of how Binance is actually involved in this case,” the judge wrote in the filing granting Binance’s motion to dismiss.

While crypto scam revenue fell to $5.9 billion from $10.9 billion the year prior, agencies have warned that these particular scams are on the rise. In April, the Justice Department seized $112 million in funds linked to pig butchering scams.
