Svmuu News: Quant trading firm Jane Street was recently sued in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with the collapse of the Terra ecosystem. The firm is accused of using non-public information to avoid more than $200 million in potential losses prior to the Terra/Luna collapse in May 2022. The plaintiffs allege that Jane Street obtained material non-public information through communications with Terraform Labs’ engineering and business teams and executed large-scale trades prior to the UST liquidity migration. Jane Street denies the allegations, calling the lawsuit “baseless.” The complaint reveals that on May 7, 2022, after Terraform withdrew 150 million UST from the Curve3 pool, an associated address quickly withdrew 85 million UST from the same pool, triggering a liquidity imbalance. The Terra ecosystem subsequently collapsed within a week, with approximately $40 billion in market value evaporating. Reports indicate that Jane Street had previously been the subject of a 105-page enforcement document issued by the Securities and Exchange Board of India, accusing the firm of exploiting structural advantages in the local market to generate abnormal profits. The current case involves 13 charges, including insider trading, securities fraud, and violations of the Commodity Exchange Act, with some details still under seal. (Forbes)
