Shaq 以 1100 萬美元和解 Astrals NFT 集體訴訟

前籃球運動員 Shaq 可能正在擺脫 Astral NFT 的集體訴訟，但並非沒有開出一張大支票。

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is reportedly nearing the end of his legal troubles regarding the failed NFT project, Astrals. According to recent reports, O’Neal has agreed to pay $11 million to settle a class-action lawsuit over his involvement in promoting the non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

據報道，NBA 傳奇人物沙奎爾·奧尼爾 (Shaquille O’Neal) 因失敗的 NFT 項目 Astrals 所面臨的法律糾紛即將結束。根據最近報道，奧尼爾已同意支付 1,100 萬美元，以了結因他參與推廣不可替代代幣（NFT）而引發的集體訴訟。

The lawsuit, filed back in May 2023, alleged that O’Neal played a key role in founding and promoting the Solana-based Astrals NFT project, which was accused of offering and selling unregistered securities. Several investors were allegedly drawn to the project due to O’Neal’s celebrity status, but the assets later crashed in value, leading to significant financial losses for the plaintiffs.

該訴訟於 2023 年 5 月提起，指控奧尼爾在創建和推廣位於 Solana 的 Astrals NFT 項目中發揮了關鍵作用，該項目被指控提供和銷售未註冊證券。據稱，由於奧尼爾的名人地位，一些投資者被吸引到該項目，但資產後來價值暴跌，導致原告遭受重大經濟損失。

With the $11 million settlement, the class-action lawsuit will be dismissed, finally concluding the year-long legal saga that has followed the basketball legend. The reports also mentioned that O’Neal is working to resolve a separate lawsuit related to his involvement with the defunct crypto exchange FTX.

隨著 1100 萬美元的和解，集體訴訟將被駁回，這位籃球傳奇人物長達一年的法律傳奇終於結束。報導也提到，歐尼爾正在努力解決與他參與已關閉的加密貨幣交易所 FTX 有關的另一起訴訟。

O’Neal is among the several celebrities who faced legal troubles due to their involvement with FTX, which collapsed in late 2022.

歐尼爾是因參與 FTX 而面臨法律麻煩的幾位名人之一，FTX 於 2022 年底倒閉。

Shaq’s troubles in the Astrals NFT saga highlight the broader trend of celebrities getting involved in crypto projects.

Shaq 在 Astrals NFT 傳奇中遇到的麻煩凸顯了名人參與加密項目的更廣泛趨勢。

This year has seen a surge in celebrities and influential figures entering the crypto and blockchain industry, aiming to capitalize on the market hype for quick financial gains. Several high-profile names have attached their credibility to projects, ranging from flashy promotions to dubious endorsements.

今年，進入加密貨幣和區塊鏈行業的名人和影響力人物激增，旨在利用市場炒作來快速獲得財務收益。一些知名人士已經將自己的信譽賦予了項目，從華麗的促銷到可疑的認可。

Notable figures like Lionel Messi, Caitlyn Jenner, Cardi B, and Andrew Tate, among others, have been involved in their own respective projects this year, each facing varying degrees of controversy.

萊昂內爾·梅西(Lionel Messi)、凱特琳·詹納(Caitlyn Jenner)、卡迪·B (Cardi B) 和安德魯·泰特(Andrew Tate) 等著名人物今年都參與了各自的項目，每個項目都面臨不同程度的爭議。

However, the mere involvement of celebrities in these projects is not the issue. The credibility and longevity of these ventures are what matter, as most fail to deliver on their promises and quickly vanish, leaving lasting scars on those who trusted their celebrity backers.

然而，名人參與這些項目並不是問題。這些企業的信譽和壽命至關重要，因為大多數企業都未能兌現承諾並很快消失，給那些信任其名人支持者的人留下持久的傷痕。

This troubling pattern of flashy promotions followed by deep crashes has damaged the reputations of these figures, serving as a reminder for investors to exercise caution.

這種華麗的促銷隨後嚴重崩盤的令人不安的模式損害了這些人物的聲譽，提醒投資者謹慎行事。
