法官允許公司要求仲裁後 OpenSea 指控者放棄訴訟

兩名指控不可替代代幣市場出售未註冊證券的 OpenSea 用戶已放棄擬議的集體訴訟

Two OpenSea users who filed a proposed class-action lawsuit against the non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace, accusing it of selling unregistered securities, have dropped their suit after a judge allowed OpenSea to demand arbitration.

兩名 OpenSea 用戶對不可替代代幣 (NFT) 市場提起集體訴訟，指控其出售未註冊的證券，但在法官允許 OpenSea 要求仲裁後，他們放棄了訴訟。

On Nov. 7, Anthony Shnayderman and Itai Bronshtein filed a voluntary dismissal of their securities suit against Ozone Networks, which does business as OpenSea, in a Florida federal court after Judge Cecilia Altonaga allowed OpenSea to file a motion to compel the pair into arbitration in an order last month.

11 月 7 日，法官 Cecilia Altonaga 允許 OpenSea 提出一項動議，迫使兩人在上個月的訂單。

OpenSea had maintained that it would compel the two users into arbitration, claiming in an October filing that they agreed to its terms of use that state all claims would be resolved by an arbitrator — including whether the claims should be arbitrated in the first place.

OpenSea 堅稱，它將迫使這兩個用戶進行仲裁，並在 10 月提交的文件中聲稱，他們同意其使用條款，其中規定所有索賠將由仲裁員解決，包括索賠是否應該首先進行仲裁。

In the October filing, the NFT marketplace added that it “intends to promptly move to compel Plaintiffs to arbitrate their claims in the agreed-upon forum,” and it would appeal any denial by a court, putting the case on pause.

在 10 月的文件中，NFT 市場補充說，它“打算立即採取行動，迫使原告在商定的論壇上對其索賠進行仲裁”，並且將對法院的任何駁回提出上訴，從而使案件暫停。

Shnayderman and Bronshtein’s lawyer, Adam Moskowitz from The Moskowitz Law Firm, told Cointelegraph they “had no choice but to dismiss the pending case.”

施奈德曼和布朗施泰因的律師、莫斯科維茨律師事務所的亞當·莫斯科維茨 (Adam Moskowitz) 告訴 Cointelegraph，他們「別無選擇，只能駁回懸而未決的案件」。

He added that their “main goal” for the case was to “create a framework, whereby our experts, and their experts, could accomplish what others have not been able to do, namely, try to create a workable global marketplace for NFTs […] in light of the upcoming changing political and legislative changes.”

他補充說，他們此案的「主要目標」是「創建一個框架，使我們的專家和他們的專家能夠完成其他人無法做到的事情，即嘗試為 NFT 創建一個可行的全球市場 [... ] 鑑於即將發生的政治和立法變化。

“We still think OpenSea could help, especially in supervising and monitoring NFTs traded on their own exchange, for which they directly profit,” said Moskowitz. “We will certainly continue to investigate how we can best help those victims of failed NFTs and other crypto products.”

Moskowitz 表示：“我們仍然認為 OpenSea 可以提供幫助，特別是在監督和監控在自己的交易所交易的 NFT 方面，他們可以直接從中獲利。” “我們肯定會繼續研究如何才能最好地幫助失敗的 NFT 和其他加密產品的受害者。”

Shnayderman and Bronshtein launched the proposed suit in September, claiming the NFTs they bought on OpenSea were unregistered securities contracts in the United States and were worthless “due to their illegal nature.”

Shnayderman 和 Bronshtein 在 9 月發起了擬議的訴訟，聲稱他們在 OpenSea 上購買的 NFT 是在美國未經註冊的證券合約，“由於其非法性質”，毫無價值。

They argued OpenSea’s August disclosure of a Securities and Exchange Commission Wells notice — a warning the agency could bring an enforcement action — suggested “that OpenSea is in the hot seat and may be found liable for facilitating the exchange of unregistered securities.”

他們認為，OpenSea 8 月披露的美國證券交易委員會 Wells 通知（該機構可能採取執法行動的警告）表明“OpenSea 處於困境，可能會因促進未註冊證券的交易而承擔責任。”

The suit also pointed to the SEC’s successful action against NFT projects Stoner Cats 2 and Impact Theory, where it said the NFTs were unregistered securities. They claimed the NFT market breached a user warranty that stated it “would moderate the OpenSea exchange for unregistered securities.”

該訴訟還指出，SEC 對 NFT 項目 Stoner Cats 2 和 Impact Theory 採取了成功的行動，並稱 NFT 是未註冊的證券。他們聲稱 NFT 市場違反了用戶保證，該保證稱「將調節 OpenSea 交易未註冊證券」。

At the time, an OpenSea spokesperson refuted the allegations, called the suit “baseless,” and told Cointelegraph, “Conjuring from thin air a purported class-action lawsuit based on our disclosure of an SEC Wells notice won’t make the allegations in the complaint true.”

當時，OpenSea 的發言人駁斥了這些指控，稱該訴訟“毫無根據”，並告訴 Cointelegraph，“根據我們披露的 SEC Wells 通知憑空想像出所謂的集體訴訟，並不會在投訴屬實。”

OpenSea did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the voluntary dismissal.

OpenSea 沒有立即回應對自願解僱發表評論的請求。
