Pump.fun 因 Memecoin Launchpad 詐欺活動被 Burwick Law 和 Wolf Popper LLP 起訴

Pump.fun，受歡迎的 memecoin Launchpad，已被加密貨幣律師事務所 Burwick Law 和證券律師事務所 Wolf Popper LLP 起訴

A federal class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of crypto investors against Pump.fun, a memecoin launchpad that has been accused of displaying "racist, anti-Semitic, torture, and sexual content on its homepage."

代表加密貨幣投資者對 Pump.fun 提起聯邦集體訴訟，Pump.fun 是一個 memecoin 啟動板，被指控在其主頁上顯示「種族主義、反猶太主義、酷刑和性內容」。

The lawsuit, filed by cryptocurrency law firm Burwick Law and securities law firm Wolf Popper LLP, alleges that Pump.fun exploited the hopes of crypto investors by offering unregistered and highly risky securities, while also engaging in illegal practices that included collecting hundreds of millions in fees from customers that may have included minors.

該訴訟由加密貨幣律師事務所Burwick Law 和證券律師事務所Wolf Popper LLP 提起，指控Pump.fun 透過提供未註冊的高風險證券來利用加密貨幣投資者的希望，同時也從事非法行為，包括收取數億美元的資金。

"We are proud to represent crypto investors and enthusiasts in seeking accountability and advocating for the responsible advancement of blockchain technology," Burwick Law said in a statement Thursday.

Burwick Law 在周四的一份聲明中表示：“我們很自豪能夠代表加密貨幣投資者和愛好者尋求責任並倡導區塊鏈技術的負責任的進步。”

The lawsuit specifically mentions Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT), a token that became popular during the 2024 U.S. elections, and alleges that it is a security under securities laws but no registration documents were ever filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to make it eligible for sale.

該訴訟特別提到了Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT)，這是一種在2024 年美國大選期間流行的代幣，並聲稱它是證券法規定的證券，但從未向美國證券交易委員會(SEC) 提交註冊文件使其符合銷售資格。

The lawsuit accuses Pump.fun's operations of being "a novel evolution in Ponzi and pump and dump schemes," and alleges that the platform's "guerilla marketing" tactics revolved around a business that promoted child abuse, racism, self-harm, potentially minor p***ography, anti-Semitism, and violence.

該訴訟指控Pump.fun 的運營是“龐氏騙局和拉高拋售計劃的新穎演變”，並指控該平台的“遊擊營銷”策略圍繞著一項宣揚虐待兒童、種族主義、自殘、潛在未成年人的業務。

It also alleges that Pump.fun failed to provide basic investor protections, such as Know-Your-Customer (KYC) systems and anti-money laundering protocols, and did not have the proper risk disclosures or other protective mechanisms to limit investors' losses.

它還指控 Pump.fun 未能提供基本的投資者保護，例如了解你的客戶（KYC）系統和反洗錢協議，並且沒有適當的風險披露或其他保護機制來限制投資者的損失。

The lawsuit also mentions the Solana blockchain, which has played a role in the rise of memecoins. According to the legal complaint, the "effects of the Defendants' unlawful conduct were felt in this District by investors who transacted in memecoins through Solana's New York-based blockchain network."

該訴訟還提到了 Solana 區塊鏈，它在 memecoin 的崛起中發揮了作用。根據法律訴狀，“透過 Solana 位於紐約的區塊鏈網路進行 memecoin 交易的投資者在該地區感受到了被告非法行為的影響。”

"A substantial portion of the conduct and transactions that constituted the securities laws violations occurred, among other places, through the Defendans' use of the Solana blockchain network," the lawsuit states.

訴訟稱：“構成違反證券法的行為和交易的很大一部分是透過被告使用 Solana 區塊鏈網路等發生的。”

The PNUT token is a Solana-based memecoin, and the lawsuit includes images that it alleges show inappropriate activity on the platform, including the brandishing of firearms by a "serial livestreamer on Pump.fun who is known from multiple pump & dump schemes."

PNUT 代幣是一種基於Solana 的memecoin，該訴訟包括據稱顯示該平台上不當活動的圖像，包括“Pump.fun 上的一位因多次拉高和轉儲計劃而聞名的連續直播者”揮舞槍支。

Pump and dump is a phrase used widely in the crypto space to describe token activity where a memecoin developer or team promotes the token aggressively to boost a token's price artificially. Once prices are up, they sell their holdings in large batches, leaving smaller investors with significant losses as the coin's price plunges.

Pump and dump 是一個在加密貨幣領域廣泛使用的短語，用於描述 Memecoin 開發人員或團隊積極推廣代幣以人為提高代幣價格的代幣活動。一旦價格上漲，他們就會大量出售所持股份，隨著代幣價格暴跌，小型投資者將遭受重大損失。

Burwick Law also tagged Donald Trump-appointed crypto and AI czar David Sacks, New York Attorney General Tish James, and former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi "to raise awareness about the broader issues facing crypto investors nationwide."

Burwick Law 還標記了唐納德·川普任命的加密貨幣和人工智慧沙皇戴維·薩克斯(David Sacks)、紐約總檢察長蒂什·詹姆斯(Tish James) 和前佛羅裡達州總檢察長帕姆·邦迪(Pam ​​Bondi)，「以提高人們對全國加密貨幣投資者面臨的更廣泛問題的認識」。

Pump.fun has yet to release an official statement regarding the lawsuit.

Pump.fun 尚未就該訴訟發布官方聲明。
