Terraform Bankruptcy Estate Sues Jump Trading for $4B Over Role in TerraUSD Crash

On Thursday, Terraform Labs’ court-appointed plan administrator Todd Snyder filed a federal lawsuit in Illinois seeking $4B in damages from Jump Trading, co-founder William DiSomma, and former Jump Crypto president Kanav Kariya. The complaint alleges Jump struck a secret deal to support TerraUSD’s peg, profited heavily from trading LUNA, and helped set the stage for the May 2022 collapse that erased about $40B in value before Terraform filed for bankruptcy in January 2024.
