According to Cointelegraph, btc-42">Bitcoin financial services company Swan Bitcoin filed an ex parte application in the Federal Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday, seeking to issue subpoenas to Cantor Fitzgerald and its former CEO Howard Lutnick for key documents related to its failed mining joint venture project.

Swan Bitcoin sued several former employees in 2024, accusing them of stealing confidential documents after collectively leaving the company to establish a competing firm, Proton Management, and allegedly persuading Tether to terminate its partnership with Swan in favor of supporting the new company. Swan claims this plan was internally referred to by former employees as the "Rain and Hellfire" plan, primarily orchestrated by former Head of Business Development Michael Holmes and former Chief Investment Officer Raphael Zagury. Swan believes that Cantor Fitzgerald, as Tether's investment banking advisor, may hold key documents related to the low-priced sale of Swan's mining joint venture project 2040 Energy assets to a Tether subsidiary.
