Tether 起訴 Swan Bitcoin，指控該公司違反與其聯合比特幣礦業公司 2040 Energy 相關的協議

Tether 和共同索賠人 2040 Energy 證實，這場法律訴訟隨著不當行為和公司破壞指控的曝光，加劇了兩家公司之間的緊張關係。

Tether, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin by market capitalization, has filed a lawsuit against Swan Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency exchange and Bitcoin mining company. The legal battle stems from a joint venture between the two companies in the Bitcoin mining sector.

全球市值最大的穩定幣發行商 Tether 已對加密貨幣交易所和比特幣挖礦公司 Swan Bitcoin 提起訴訟。這場法律戰源自於兩家公司在比特幣挖礦領域的合資企業。

According to the complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on March 8, Tether and 2040 Energy, a Bitcoin mining company, are jointly suing Swan Bitcoin for breaching agreements related to their partnership in the mining venture.

根據 3 月 8 日向美國紐約南區地方法院提交的訴狀，Tether 和比特幣挖礦公司 2040 Energy 聯合起訴 Swan Bitcoin，稱其違反了與挖礦企業合作相關的協議。

The partnership, established in 2022, involved Tether funding the operations while Swan oversaw day-to-day management. However, the collaboration soured after Swan alleged that former employees from its mining division used proprietary information to establish a competing firm, Proton Management. This rival company reportedly gained Tether’s support, leading to Swan’s removal from the venture.

該合作夥伴關係於 2022 年建立，Tether 為營運提供資金，Swan 負責日常管理。然而，在 Swan 指控其採礦部門的前員工利用專有資訊建立了一家競爭公司 Proton Management 後，雙方的合作出現了惡化。據報導，這家競爭對手公司獲得了 Tether 的支持，導致 Swan 退出該合資企業。

Swan claims key individuals orchestrated the scheme to sabotage its operations, ultimately securing Tether’s backing for Proton. Tether, meanwhile, denies any wrongdoing, asserting that it acted within its contractual rights.

Swan 聲稱關鍵人物精心策劃了該計劃，以破壞其運營，最終確保了 Tether 對 Proton 的支持。同時，Tether 否認有任何不當行為，堅稱其行為符合合約權利。

In a statement to Blockworks, a Tether spokesperson said that the company "has fully complied with all contractual obligations to Swan and 2040 Energy and will continue to vigorously defend itself against these baseless claims in court."

Tether 發言人在給 Blockworks 的聲明中表示，該公司“已完全遵守對 Swan 和 2040 Energy 的所有合約義務，並將繼續在法庭上針對這些毫無根據的指控積極為自己辯護。”

Swan has also accused Tether of facilitating what it describes as a hostile takeover of its mining operations. These allegations include the removal of Swan’s CEO, Cory Klippsten, from his leadership role at 2040 Energy and the transfer of operational control to Proton.

Swan 也指責 Tether 協助對其採礦業務進行敵意收購。這些指控包括解除 Swan 執行長 Cory Klippsten 在 2040 Energy 的領導職務，並將營運控制權轉移給 Proton。

Moreover, Swan alleges that Tether breached an operating agreement by failing to obtain Swan’s consent before removing Klippsten as CEO of 2040 Energy and transferring operational control to Proton.

此外，Swan 指控 Tether 在解除 Klippsten 2040 Energy 執行長職務並將營運控制權移交給 Proton 之前未獲得 Swan 的同意，違反了營運協議。

The legal battle is set to unfold as both parties present their arguments and evidence in court. The outcome of the case will determine the fate of the joint venture and the future relationship between Tether and Swan Bitcoin.

隨著雙方在法庭上提出論點和證據，這場法律戰即將展開。該案的結果將決定合資企業的命運以及Tether和Swan Bitcoin未來的關係。
