US Federal Judge Dismisses Atomic Wallet Class-Action Lawsuit

美國聯邦法官駁回 Atomic 錢包集體訴訟

A US federal judge has dismissed a class-action lawsuit against Atomic Wallet, a crypto firm based in Estonia, citing a lack of jurisdiction. Judge Philip Brimmer of the Colorado district court concluded that there were insufficient grounds for the US court to handle the case.

美國聯邦法官以缺乏管轄權為由，駁回了針對愛沙尼亞加密貨幣公司 Atomic Wallet 的集體訴訟。科羅拉多州地方法院法官菲利普·布里默（Philip Brimmer）的結論是，美國法院沒有足夠的理由處理此案。

Background

背景

The lawsuit was filed by a group of users following a $100 million hack in June 2023. The plaintiffs alleged that Atomic Wallet CEO Konstantin Gladyshev, shareholder Pavel Sokolov, and Evercode Infinite, the company that developed the wallet software, were responsible for their losses. The hack impacted around 5,500 users, who reportedly lost significant amounts of Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), and Dogecoin (DOGE).

該訴訟是由一群用戶在2023 年6 月遭遇價值1 億美元的駭客攻擊後提起的。 。這次駭客攻擊影響了約 5,500 名用戶，據報道，他們損失了大量比特幣 (BTC)、以太坊 (ETH)、Tether (USDT) 和狗狗幣 (DOGE)。

Dismissal

解僱

Atomic Wallet argued that it had "no US ties" and sought to have the case dismissed in November 2023. The plaintiffs countered that the company's app, available for download in Colorado, and its advertisements should establish jurisdiction.

Atomic Wallet 辯稱其“與美國沒有關係”，並尋求於 2023 年 11 月駁回此案。

However, Judge Brimmer rejected these arguments, stating that the digital nature of Atomic Wallet did not imply that the company specifically targeted Colorado residents. Despite the dismissal, Judge Brimmer granted the plaintiffs 21 days to strengthen their case.

然而，布里默法官駁回了這些論點，並表示 Atomic Wallet 的數位性質並不意味著該公司專門針對科羅拉多州居民。儘管被駁回，布里默法官還是給了原告 21 天的時間來加強他們的案情。
