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.
埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 与一群狗狗币投资者之间旷日持久的法律战,指控他在 2023 年操纵狗狗币价格,随着他们撤回上诉,这场官司正式结束。
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,海勒斯坦法官驳回了此案。随后投资者对这一决定提出质疑,最初寻求 2580 亿美元的赔偿。他们指控马斯克和他的公司特斯拉存在欺诈和内幕交易行为。
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.
投资者声称马斯克利用推文、“周六夜现场”露面以及其他公开行为来操纵狗狗币的价格以谋取私利。
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.
海勒斯坦法官于八月份驳回了此案,称马斯克的推文不足以证明存在欺诈行为。此外,法官认为马斯克称狗狗币为“地球的未来货币”并声称它可以由 SpaceX 发送到月球等言论并未严重到足以被视为欺诈的程度。
The judge also found the investors' allegations of market manipulation and insider trading lacked sufficient clarity to prove illegal activity.
法官还发现,投资者对市场操纵和内幕交易的指控缺乏足够明确的证据来证明非法活动。
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.
案件被驳回后,投资者试图对这一决定提出上诉,并请求法院制裁马斯克的法律团队,因为他们涉嫌阻碍上诉程序并索取过高的法律费用。
In turn, Musk and Tesla filed a motion to sanction the investors' attorneys for bringing a "frivolous" case with shifting legal arguments.
反过来,马斯克和特斯拉提出了一项动议,制裁投资者的律师,因为他们提起了一个“无聊”的案件,其法律论据不断变化。
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,投资者撤回了对马斯克律师的上诉和制裁请求。双方提交了一项联合协议,驳回此案,但须经曼哈顿法官阿尔文·海勒斯坦 (Alvin Hellerstein) 批准。
