Bitcoin Miner Sphere 3D Rebuts Allegations of Financial Distress, Accuses Former Partner of Baseless Claims

Bitcoin Miner Sphere 3D 反駁財務困境指控，指責前合作夥伴毫無根據的指控

Amidst the ongoing legal battle between Bitcoin mining company Sphere 3D and its former partner Gryphon Digital Mining, Sphere 3D has vehemently denied allegations of financial troubles, characterizing them as "at best disingenuous."

在比特幣挖礦公司 Sphere 3D 與其前合作夥伴 Gryphon Digital Mining 之間持續不斷的法律糾紛中，Sphere 3D 強烈否認有關財務問題的指控，稱這些指控「充其量是不誠實的」。

In a court document submitted to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Sphere 3D provided detailed evidence to refute accusations made by Gryphon, which had requested a freeze on millions of dollars based on the claim that Sphere was on the "verge of economic collapse."

在提交給美國紐約南區地方法院的一份法庭文件中，Sphere 3D 提供了詳細的證據來反駁 Gryphon 的指控，Gryphon 聲稱 Sphere 正在“經濟崩潰的邊緣。”

Sphere 3D presented a comprehensive financial statement, demonstrating assets totaling $45 million and liabilities of $5 million, as reported in its 2023 Annual Report. The company asserted that "a judgment of even $30 million could be rendered against Sphere tomorrow and it would have the means to pay."

Sphere 3D 提交了一份全面的財務報表，顯示其 2023 年年度報告中的資產總額為 4,500 萬美元，負債為 500 萬美元。該公司聲稱“明天可能會對 Sphere 做出 3000 萬美元的判決，並且它有能力支付。”

Regarding the $10 million in equity proceeds that Sphere 3D recently received from a settlement related to Core Scientific's bankruptcy exit, the company stated that Gryphon's request to secure them was unwarranted. Sphere 3D accused Gryphon of unreasonably prolonging the proceedings through counterclaims that were subsequently dropped.

關於 Sphere 3D 最近從與 Core Scientific 破產退出相關的和解中獲得的 1000 萬美元股權收益，該公司表示，Gryphon 要求獲得這些收益的要求是沒有根據的。 Sphere 3D 指控 Gryphon 透過反訴無理地延長訴訟程序，但隨後被撤銷。

A source familiar with the litigation disclosed that Gryphon's move to acquire $10 million from Sphere may be motivated by its own financial difficulties. According to the source, Gryphon has $18 million in assets and $27 million in liabilities, resulting in negative working capital of $9 million. The source also noted that Gryphon's loan agreement requires any excess income to be used to repay its loans with Anchorage.

一位熟悉訴訟的消息人士透露，Gryphon 從 Sphere 收購 1000 萬美元的舉動可能是出於其自身的財務困難。消息人士稱，Gryphon 擁有 1,800 萬美元資產和 2,700 萬美元負債，導致營運資金為負 900 萬美元。消息人士還指出，Gryphon 的貸款協議要求任何超額收入都必須用於償還與安克拉治的貸款。

The legal dispute between Gryphon and Sphere 3D stems from a Master Service Agreement (MSA) signed in 2021, under which Gryphon acted as the exclusive provider of management services for Sphere's blockchain and cryptocurrency operations. However, the relationship deteriorated in April 2023 when Sphere initiated legal action against Gryphon following an alleged spoofing incident that resulted in the unauthorized transfer of 26 Bitcoin (BTC) to a malicious actor.

Gryphon 與 Sphere 3D 之間的法律糾紛源於 2021 年簽署的主服務協議（MSA），根據該協議，Gryphon 擔任 Sphere 區塊鏈和加密貨幣營運管理服務的獨家提供者。然而，這種關係在 2023 年 4 月惡化，當時 Sphere 因涉嫌欺騙事件而對 Gryphon 提起法律訴訟，導致 26 比特幣 (BTC) 未經授權轉移給惡意行為者。

Gryphon has accused Sphere of breaching the MSA by entering into four hosting agreements without its consent. Sphere 3D maintains that it was permitted to enter into such contracts under the MSA and through independent discussions with Gryphon. Furthermore, Sphere argues that any breaches it may have committed were minor and do not warrant the substantial damages claimed by Gryphon.

Gryphon 指控 Sphere 在未經其同意的情況下簽署了四項託管協議，違反了 MSA。 Sphere 3D 堅稱，它是根據 MSA 並通過與 Gryphon 的獨立討論獲準簽訂此類合約的。此外，Sphere 辯稱，其可能犯下的任何違規行為都是輕微的，不能保證 Gryphon 所聲稱的重大損失。

In a countersuit, Sphere 3D is seeking damages exceeding $25 million from Gryphon for failing to file a proof of claim in Core Scientific's bankruptcy case. Sphere 3D had provided $35 million in deposits to Core for hosting services, but only received about $1 million in return. Following Core's bankruptcy declaration, Sphere settled with the company for $10 million in reorganized equity.

在反訴訟中，Sphere 3D 因未能在 Core Scientific 破產案中提交索賠證明而向 Gryphon 尋求超過 2500 萬美元的賠償。 Sphere 3D 已向 Core 提供了 3500 萬美元的押金用於託管服務，但僅收到約 100 萬美元的回報。 Core 宣布破產後，Sphere 與該公司以 1,000 萬美元的重組股權達成和解。

Crucially, Gryphon's failure to file a proof of claim in Core's bankruptcy case by the deadline created a complex situation, as Core argued that Sphere was not directly involved, hindering Sphere's efforts to recover its deposits.

至關重要的是，Gryphon 未能在截止日期前提交 Core 破產案的索賠證明，造成了一個複雜的情況，因為 Core 辯稱 Sphere 沒有直接參與，這阻礙了 Sphere 追回存款的努力。

The legal battle between Gryphon and Sphere 3D continues, with both parties making strong claims. Sphere 3D's rebuttal of Gryphon's allegations of financial distress, coupled with its countersuit seeking substantial damages, adds further complexity to this intricate legal dispute.

Gryphon 和 Sphere 3D 之間的法律糾紛仍在繼續，雙方都提出了強烈主張。 Sphere 3D 對 Gryphon 財務困境指控的反駁，以及尋求巨額賠償的反訴，進一步加劇了這場錯綜複雜的法律糾紛的複雜性。
