Billionaire Ken Griffin's trading firm Citadel Securities has denied Terraform Labs' claim that Citadel Securities was behind the UST crash last May. Citadel Securities said in court filings Thursday that Terraform Labs' move was used to divert attention from its allegations, forcing people to pursue absurd conspiracy theories that not only did the time period requested irrelevant, but the theory was also baseless. Citadel asked the court to dismiss Terraform's motion for injunction and said it had only participated in two test transactions involving UST, with a total value of about $0.13, and therefore did not lead to UST de-anchoring. （CoinDesk） Earlier, Terraform Labs filed a motion with the court to require market maker Citadel Securities to "provide certain data pursuant to a third-party subpoena," saying it was "critical" to defend itself in a lawsuit filed by the SEC. The motion said Terraform Labs issued subpoenas to Citadel Securities and Citadel Enterprise Americas for transaction data "related to the May 2022 (UST) de-anchoring." Terraform noted: "Public evidence suggests that Ken Griffin, head of the Citadel entity, intends to short the token before and after the UST de-anchor in May 2022. Relevant evidence suggests that a Citadel Securities may actually be associated with the May 2022 de-anchor, although Citadel Securities publicly denied trading UST during that de-anchoring event. ” Terraform also said Nansen's data helped them find "seven so-called 'whale' traders who have the ability and determination to go long or short on an asset or financial instrument." In addition, the data also shows that "a small number of participants discovered vulnerabilities early in the UST de-anchoring".

Claiming that Citadel played a role in UST de-anchoring is a ridiculous conspiracy theory, Citadel asked the court to dismiss Terraform's motion for coercion and said it had only participated in two test transactions with a total value of about $0.13 and therefore did not result in UST de-anchoring.

Golden Finance reports that Portofino Technologies, a Swiss startup founded by Alex Casimo and Leonard Lancia, has filed a motion asking the court to dismiss Citadel’s lawsuit against it. According to a recent report from Insider, the motion claims that Citadel's legal actions are intended to intimidate other employees and interfere with Portofino's business operations. The legal battle between the two companies began when Citadel Securities Europe filed a lawsuit in London in June 2022, accusing Casimo and Lancia of breaching employment agreements by recruiting Citadel Securities employees. Portofino denied the claims, calling Citadel's case "baseless, anti-competitive and a classic example of corporate bullying."
