According to The Netherlands Times, a court in The Hague ordered Binance to disclose the name and address of the account holder related to the $200,000 (186,000 euros) dating scam.
The case involves a woman who was persuaded to invest in cryptocurrency over the summer by someone she met on a dating app.
What followed was a classic "pig butchering" scheme, where victims are gradually manipulated into making significant investments before being defrauded.
According to the police report, in August, a Dutch digital forensics company tracked part of her stolen money to a Binance account.
The court ruled in her favor, ordering Binance to provide the requested details within 14 days and keep the account frozen for at least four weeks, allowing her time to consider legal action against the account holder.
