Victims and families of 9/11 terrorist attack victims filed a statement of interest in 127,271 BTC previously seized by the US government from the LuBian.com mining pool. The filing claims that LuBian was operated by the Iran and China Investment Development Group and constitutes an agency or instrumentality of Iran. The Chairnoff Claimants hold judgments representing more than $671 million in compensatory damages against the Islamic Republic of Iran for its role in sponsoring the 9/11 attacks. The US government describes LuBian as a Chinese BTC mining operation with at least one facility in Iran, and states that the seized funds also include transfers from Chen Zhi, Prince Holding Group, and centralized exchanges.
