Elon Musk Triumphs in Dismissal of $258 Billion Dogecoin Lawsuit
埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 成功驳回价值 2580 亿美元的狗狗币诉讼
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has successfully dismissed a high-profile lawsuit accusing him and the company of manipulating the price of Dogecoin (DOGE), the popular meme-based cryptocurrency.
特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克成功驳回了一项备受瞩目的诉讼,该诉讼指控他和该公司操纵狗狗币(DOGE)的价格,狗狗币是一种流行的基于模因的加密货币。
On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled in favor of Musk and Tesla, dismissing the claims filed by a group of disgruntled investors.
周四,美国地区法官阿尔文·海勒斯坦 (Alvin Hellerstein) 做出了有利于马斯克和特斯拉的裁决,驳回了一群心怀不满的投资者提出的索赔。
Tweets Deemed "Puffery" and Non-Actionable
推文被视为“虚夸”且不可操作
The lawsuit, filed in June 2022, alleged that Musk and Tesla inflated the price of DOGE through social media and public statements, subsequently crashing its value and causing significant financial losses for investors.
该诉讼于 2022 年 6 月提起,指控马斯克和特斯拉通过社交媒体和公开声明抬高 DOGE 的价格,随后导致其价值暴跌,给投资者造成重大财务损失。
Judge Hellerstein dismissed the accusations, ruling that Musk's statements were "aspirational" and constituted "puffery" rather than actionable claims. He determined that the statements were not "factual and susceptible to being falsified" and that "no reasonable investor could rely upon them" for investment decisions.
海勒斯坦法官驳回了这些指控,裁定马斯克的言论是“有抱负的”,构成“虚张声势”,而不是可采取行动的主张。他认为这些陈述“不真实且容易被伪造”,并且“任何理性的投资者都不能依赖它们”做出投资决策。
The complainants had cited several tweets from Musk, including his declaration of becoming "the official CEO of Dogecoin" and his claim of potentially sending a "literal Dogecoin" to the moon on a SpaceX rocket.
投诉人引用了马斯克的几条推文,包括他宣布成为“狗狗币的官方首席执行官”,以及他声称有可能通过 SpaceX 火箭将“真正的狗狗币”发送到月球。
Lack of Evidence for Pump and Dump Scheme
缺乏拉高转储计划的证据
The investors also accused Musk and Tesla of participating in a "pump and dump" scheme with Dogecoin. However, the judge found that they failed to provide a clear and plausible explanation of how this occurred.
投资者还指责马斯克和特斯拉参与了狗狗币的“拉高抛售”计划。然而,法官发现他们未能对这种情况如何发生提供清晰且合理的解释。
"It is not possible to understand the allegations that form the basis of plaintiffs' conclusion of market manipulation," Hellerstein stated in his decision.
海勒斯坦在判决中表示:“构成原告市场操纵结论基础的指控是无法理解的。”
Musk's legal team had previously sought the dismissal of the case, arguing that the investors had not demonstrated Musk's intent to defraud or concealment of risks. They maintained that his tweets, including statements like "Dogecoin Rulz" and "no highs, no lows, only Doge," were too vague to support fraud claims.
马斯克的法律团队此前曾寻求驳回此案,认为投资者没有证明马斯克有欺诈或隐瞒风险的意图。他们坚称,他的推文,包括“Dogecoin Rulz”和“没有高点,没有低点,只有 Doge”之类的声明过于模糊,无法支持欺诈指控。
The attorneys asserted that the court should reject the plaintiffs' "fantasy" and dismiss the complaint.
律师们声称,法院应该驳回原告的“幻想”并驳回申诉。
