The court filing includes evidence from a Discord chat where an anonymous trader claimed to have had a conversation with Citadel CEO Ken Griffin, alleging his intention to heavily impact Luna UST. Furthermore, a post on X by Jacob Canfield in May 2022 hinted at the possibility of Citadel’s involvement.
Citadel Securities has denied trading stablecoins, including UST, and stated that it has no responsive documents to provide. In response, Terraform Labs argues that Citadel should turn over the trading data as it could impact the SEC’s case against them and present little burden to Citadel Securities.
