The long-running legal battle between Elon Musk and a group of Dogecoin investors accusing him of manipulating the price of Dogecoin in 2023 has officially ended as they withdrew their appeal.
馬斯克 (Elon Musk) 與一群狗狗幣投資者之間曠日持久的法律戰,指控他在 2023 年操縱狗狗幣價格,隨著他們撤回上訴,這場官司正式結束。
Previously, Judge Hellerstein dismissed the case. The investors then challenged the decision, originally seeking $258 billion in damages. They accused Musk and his company Tesla of fraud and insider trading.
此前,海勒斯坦法官駁回了此案。隨後投資者對這項決定提出質疑,最初尋求 2,580 億美元的賠償。他們指控馬斯克和他的公司特斯拉有欺詐和內線交易行為。
The investors claimed Musk used tweets, a "Saturday Night Live" appearance, and other public actions to manipulate the price of Dogecoin for his own gain.
投資者聲稱馬斯克利用推文、「週六夜現場」露面以及其他公開行為來操縱狗狗幣的價格以謀取私利。
Judge Hellerstein dismissed the case in August, stating that Musk's tweets were insufficient to establish fraud. Additionally, the judge deemed statements like Musk calling Dogecoin the "future currency of Earth" and claiming it could be sent to the moon by SpaceX as not serious enough to be considered fraudulent.
海勒斯坦法官在八月駁回了此案,並表示馬斯克的推文不足以證明有詐欺行為。此外,法官認為馬斯克稱狗狗幣為「地球的未來貨幣」並聲稱它可以由 SpaceX 發送到月球等言論並未嚴重到足以被視為欺詐的程度。
The judge also found the investors' allegations of market manipulation and insider trading lacked sufficient clarity to prove illegal activity.
法官還發現,投資者對市場操縱和內線交易的指控缺乏足夠明確的證據來證明非法活動。
Following the case's dismissal, the investors attempted to appeal the decision and requested the court sanction Musk's legal team for allegedly obstructing the appeal process and seeking excessive legal fees.
案件被駁回後,投資者試圖對這項決定提出上訴,並請求法院制裁馬斯克的法律團隊,因為他們涉嫌阻礙上訴程序並要求過高的法律費用。
In turn, Musk and Tesla filed a motion to sanction the investors' attorneys for bringing a "frivolous" case with shifting legal arguments.
反過來,馬斯克和特斯拉提出了一項動議,制裁投資者的律師,因為他們提起了一個「無聊」的案件,其法律論點不斷變化。
However, on November 14, the investors withdrew their appeal and request for sanctions against Musk's attorneys. Both parties filed a joint stipulation to dismiss the case, subject to Judge Alvin Hellerstein's approval in Manhattan.
然而,11月14日,投資者撤回了對馬斯克律師的上訴和製裁請求。雙方提交了一項聯合協議,駁回此案,但須經曼哈頓法官阿爾文·海勒斯坦 (Alvin Hellerstein) 批准。
