馬斯克 (Elon Musk) 贏得數十億美元狗狗幣訴訟被駁回，律師誓言上訴

對原告來說，可惜的是，在紐約的一名聯邦法官週四駁回此案後，他們的訴訟請求落空了。

A federal judge in New York has dismissed a billion-dollar lawsuit accusing Elon Musk of rigging Dogecoin and engaging in insider trading.

紐約一名聯邦法官駁回了一項價值十億美元的訴訟，指控馬斯克操縱狗狗幣並參與內線交易。

The class-action lawsuit, filed in 2021, alleged that Musk and his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, drove up the price of Dogecoin by making false and misleading statements about the cryptocurrency. The plaintiffs, who included people who lost money investing in Dogecoin, claimed that Musk’s statements violated federal securities laws.

這起集體訴訟於 2021 年提起，指控馬斯克及其公司特斯拉和 SpaceX 透過對加密貨幣做出虛假和誤導性陳述，推高了狗狗幣的價格。原告包括因投資狗狗幣而蒙受損失的人，他們聲稱馬斯克的言論違反了聯邦證券法。

But in a two-page ruling on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said that Musk's statements about Dogecoin were "no more than puffery," and that "no reasonable investor could rely upon them" to make investment decisions.

但在周四的一份長達兩頁的裁決中，美國地區法官阿爾文·海勒斯坦表示，馬斯克關於狗狗幣的聲明“只不過是誇大其詞”，“任何理性的投資者都不能依賴這些聲明」來做出投資決策。

Hellerstein cited a legal concept that dates back more than a century, in which judges have dismissed advertising claims as "puffery" if they are intended to drum up hype and not serious promises.

海勒斯坦引用了一個可以追溯到一個多世紀前的法律概念，其中法官將廣告聲明視為“虛張聲勢”，如果廣告的目的是炒作而不是認真的承諾，則將其駁回。

The judge also noted that the plaintiffs had failed to show how Musk and his companies benefited from the alleged Dogecoin scheme.

法官還指出，原告未能證明馬斯克及其公司如何從所謂的狗狗幣計畫中受益。

"The complaint is devoid of any specific factual allegations showing that Musk or the other defendants touted Dogecoin, drove up its price, and then quickly sold their holdings at a profit," Hellerstein wrote.

海勒斯坦寫道：“該投訴沒有任何具體的事實指控，表明馬斯克或其他被告吹捧狗狗幣，抬高其價格，然後迅速出售所持股份以獲取利潤。”

The ruling is a major victory for Musk, who has been dogged by the Dogecoin lawsuit for more than a year. The judge's decision also prevents the plaintiffs from filing an amended complaint, making it unlikely that the case will proceed further.

這項裁決對馬斯克來說是一場重大勝利，他已經被狗狗幣訴訟困擾了一年多。法官的決定也阻止原告提出修改後的申訴，使案件不太可能進一步審理。

Dogecoin fans celebrated the news on X, where they posted memes and thanked the judge for dismissing the "baseless" lawsuit.

狗狗幣粉絲在 X 上慶祝了這一消息，他們在 X 上發布了表情包，並感謝法官駁回了這項「毫無根據」的訴訟。

"Elon Musk just won the dismissal of a long-running, billion-dollar lawsuit accusing him of rigging Dogecoin and engaging in insider trading," one X user wrote.

一位 X 用戶寫道：“埃隆馬斯克剛剛贏得了一場曠日持久、價值數十億美元的訴訟被駁回，該訴訟指控他操縱狗狗幣並參與內幕交易。”

"The judge also threw the case out with prejudice, meaning the plaintiffs don't get another chance to amend the lawsuit in hopes of making it stick. Johnson’s lawyer, however, has vowed to appeal the ruling—though that may be a long shot."

「法官還帶著偏見駁回了此案，這意味著原告沒有機會再次修改訴訟，以求維持原判。然而，約翰遜的律師發誓要對裁決提出上訴——儘管這可能是一個渺茫的機會」。
