Swan Bitcoin faces nearly $1 billion in lawsuits due to the Prime Trust collapse
According to Decrypt, financial services company Swan Bitcoin has been sued by the PCT Litigation Trust for allegedly using insider information to avoid significant losses during the collapse of Prime Trust in 2023, seeking to recover nearly $1 billion in crypto assets. The lawsuit claims that Swan had knowledge of non-public information on the eve of Prime Trust's bankruptcy and transferred fiat and crypto assets from Prime, avoiding catastrophic losses. The assets that Swan was able to transfer are valued at nearly $1 billion at current prices, including 11,992 bitcoins (approximately $917 million), $22.4 million, $5 million in stablecoins, and 91,444 XRP.
The lawsuit also points out that a "senior executive" of Prime Trust simultaneously served as a paid external consultant for Swan, providing a channel for obtaining insider information. A representative for Swan stated that client assets are held in trust accounts managed by a trust company and should not be pursued by general unsecured creditors.
