曼哈頓聯邦法院 曼哈頓聯邦法院 起訴馬斯克及其公司特斯拉操縱加密貨幣狗狗幣（DOGE）的投資者已撤回上訴。

This marks the conclusion of a case that originally sought $258 billion in damages and centred on allegations of fraud and insider trading.

這標誌著最初尋求 2,580 億美元損害賠償並以欺詐和內幕交易指控為中心的案件的結案。

The lawsuit, filed by Dogecoin investors, claimed that Musk had used his influential public platform to artificially inflate the price of Dogecoin for personal gain. The investors pointed to his tweets, public appearances, and even an appearance on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” as evidence of a pattern of market manipulation.

狗狗幣投資者提起的訴訟聲稱，馬斯克利用其有影響力的公共平台人為提高狗狗幣的價格以謀取個人利益。投資人指出，他的推文、公開露面，甚至出現在 NBC 的「週六夜現場」上，都是市場操縱模式的證據。

The investors argued that these activities were timed to boost Dogecoin’s value, allowing Musk to profit at their expense.

投資者認為，這些活動的目的是為了提高狗狗幣的價值，讓馬斯克以犧牲他們的利益為代價獲利。

However, on August 29, US District Judge Alvin Hellerstein dismissed the case, stating that reasonable investors could not establish claims of securities fraud based solely on Musk’s public statements.

不過，8月29日，美國地區法官阿爾文·海勒斯坦(Alvin Hellerstein)駁回了此案，稱理性的投資者不能僅根據馬斯克的公開聲明就成立證券欺詐指控。

The judge reasoned that comments such as Musk’s assertion that Dogecoin was the “future currency of Earth” or could be “floated to the moon” by SpaceX were not credible grounds for claims of insider trading or fraud.

法官認為，馬斯克聲稱狗狗幣是「地球的未來貨幣」或可能由 SpaceX「漂浮到月球」等言論並不是內線交易或欺詐指控的可信依據。

Following the dismissal, the investors filed an appeal and sought sanctions against Musk’s legal team, accusing them of misconduct. In response, Musk and Tesla filed their own motion to sanction the investors’ lawyers for pursuing what they labelled as a “frivolous” and constantly shifting lawsuit.

被解僱後，投資者提出上訴，並尋求對馬斯克的法律團隊進行製裁，指控他們行為不當。作為回應，馬斯克和特斯拉提出了自己的動議，制裁投資者的律師，因為他們認為這是一場「無聊」且不斷變化的訴訟。

This week, both parties agreed to withdraw their respective motions and filed a stipulation to dismiss the case in Manhattan federal court. The withdrawal also included the investors’ request to drop sanctions against Musk’s lawyers.

本週，雙方同意撤回各自的動議，並向曼哈頓聯邦法院提交了駁回此案的規定。撤回還包括投資者要求撤銷對馬斯克律師的製裁。

The final resolution of the case now awaits formal approval by Judge Hellerstein.

該案的最終解決方案目前正在等待海勒斯坦法官的正式批准。

This lawsuit’s end comes as Musk continues to wield considerable influence over the cryptocurrency world, which has seen volatility sparked by Donald Trump’s reelection as the 47th US president.

這場訴訟結束之際，馬斯克繼續對加密貨幣世界發揮相當大的影響力，唐納德·川普連任美國第 47 任總統引發了加密貨幣世界的波動。

Musk, who acquired Twitter in 2022 and rebranded it as X, has often been at the centre of both support and controversy surrounding cryptocurrencies, notably Dogecoin.

馬斯克於 2022 年收購了 Twitter 並將其更名為 X，他經常成為加密貨幣（尤其是狗狗幣）的支持和爭議。
