Foresight News reports, according to CryptoSlate, that the crypto lending platform Celsius has appealed the dismissal of its revised $444 million claim against FTX. Celsius states that defamatory statements made by FTX executives, employees, and affiliates had a negative impact on the company's reputation and financial health, accelerating its bankruptcy in July 2022. Court documents show that Celsius initially filed a $2 billion claim citing 'unverified defamatory statements' spread by FTX insiders. Last December, Celsius revised its application, reducing the claim amount to $444 million. The revised claim shifted focus to preferential transfers, but the judge dismissed both its original claim and the revised claim due to procedural defects.
