The Prime Trust Litigation Trust filed a 94-page lawsuit against Swan Bitcoin seeking to recover about $970 million in assets allegedly withdrawn before Prime Trust's bankruptcy. The complaint claims Swan Bitcoin received insider tips about Prime's financial troubles and accelerated withdrawals of Bitcoin, cash, stablecoins, and XRP during a critical 90-day period before Prime's Chapter 11 filing in August 2023. Swan denies the claims, arguing customer assets were held in trust and not part of the bankruptcy estate. The case, overseen by Judge Stickles, will focus on legal issues around fiduciary duties and preference defenses, with outcomes potentially affecting other similar lawsuits against former Prime partners.
