Celsius bankruptcy administrator Blockchain Recovery Investment Consortium filed a civil lawsuit on September 12 with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, alleging market manipulation and fraud by BitMEX and its affiliated entities HDR Global Trading, ABS Global Trading, Shine Effort, 100x Holdings, and HDR Global Services. The lawsuit primarily targets forced liquidation events that occurred during the significant crypto market volatility in March 2020, with a total claim amount currently estimated at approximately $495 million. This claim consists of two parts involving forcibly liquidated Bitcoin assets: Celsius lost 1,325.84 BTC in a single day on March 12, 2020, and investment fund JST lost 5,034.33 BTC on March 13, 2020; these rights have been transferred to Celsis bankruptcy assets, totaling 6,360 BTC.
