2. CZ has filed to dismiss the lawsuit, citing lack of jurisdiction due to his UAE residency and claiming he was only a 'nominal' participant in the transaction.

3. Binance has publicly dismissed the clawback claims as 'nonsensical,' arguing they are based on flawed interpretations of the 2021 deal.

4. The outcome of this case could set legal precedents for future cross-border cryptocurrency disputes and bankruptcy clawback actions.

5. The Delaware bankruptcy court will decide whether the lawsuit proceeds, with the ruling potentially impacting how crypto-related legal battles are handled globally.
