币界网报道：Citibank faces a $20 million lawsuit for alleged negligence in failing to prevent a crypto scam involving one of its clients. The plaintiff, a cryptocurrency investor, claims the bank ignored multiple red flags while processing transactions linked to a fraudulent scheme. According to court documents, the scam involved fake investment opportunities promoted through social media, luring victims to transfer funds to accounts held at Citibank. The lawsuit argues that the bank should have detected suspicious activity, including rapid large withdrawals and inconsistent account behavior, under anti-money laundering protocols. Citibank has denied the allegations, stating it adheres to regulatory requirements and has robust fraud detection systems. The case highlights growing legal scrutiny over banks' responsibilities in monitoring crypto-related transactions as scams proliferate. Legal experts suggest the outcome could set a precedent for financial institutions' liability in similar fraud cases. The plaintiff seeks compensation for lost funds and punitive damages.
