Tether 起訴 Swan Bitcoin，指控其比特幣礦業公司違反合約

Swan Bitcoin 正在英格蘭和威爾斯高等法院被知名穩定幣發行商 Tether 起訴。涉嫌違反合約涉及他們的聯合比特幣挖礦公司 2040 Energy，這是此案的基礎。

Swan Bitcoin, a popular Bitcoin-only exchange, is facing a High Court lawsuit filed by Tether, the issuer of the widely used stablecoin USDT. The legal dispute stems from alleged contract breaches related to their joint Bitcoin mining company, 2040 Energy.

Swan Bitcoin 是一家受歡迎的比特幣交易所，它正面臨由廣泛使用的穩定幣 USDT 發行商 Tether 提起的高等法院訴訟。這場法律糾紛源自於他們聯合成立的比特幣挖礦公司 2040 Energy 涉嫌違反合約。

According to court documents, Tether owns 80% of 2040 Energy, while Swan Bitcoin holds the remaining 20%. The partnership was established in 2022 with the goal of generating profits for Swan that would be contingent on Tether fully recovering its initial investment in the venture.

根據法庭文件，Tether 擁有 2040 Energy 80% 的股份，而 Swan Bitcoin 則持有剩餘 20% 的股份。該合作夥伴關係於 2022 年建立，目標是為 Swan 創造利潤，這取決於 Tether 完全收回其在該合資企業的初始投資。

However, the partnership encountered difficulties, leading to Tether's claim that it fulfilled its contractual obligations while accusing Swan of mismanagement that ultimately harmed the joint venture.

然而，雙方的合作遇到了困難，Tether 聲稱自己履行了合約義務，同時指責 Swan 管理不善，最終損害了合資企業的利益。

In response to the lawsuit, Swan Bitcoin acknowledged the legal action but declined to provide specific commentary on the allegations. The company stated that it will "vigorously defend" itself against the claims.

作為對訴訟的回應，天鵝比特幣承認採取了法律行動，但拒絕對這些指控提供具體評論。該公司表示，將針對這些指控「積極辯護」。

This lawsuit adds another layer to a broader dispute that began in September, when Swan filed a separate lawsuit against former mining employees and contractors. The company alleged that they misappropriated proprietary information to form Proton Management.

這起訴訟為 9 月開始的更廣泛的糾紛增添了新的層面，當時 Swan 對前採礦員工和承包商提起了單獨的訴訟。該公司聲稱他們盜用專有資訊來成立 Proton Management。

While Tether was not named in Swan's earlier lawsuit, its decision to involve the UK courts now highlights unresolved tensions over the management of 2040 Energy, as reported by Blockspace.

根據 Blockspace 報導，雖然 Swan 先前的訴訟中沒有提到 Tether 的名字，但其將英國法院捲入其中的決定凸顯了 2040 Energy 管理方面尚未解決的緊張關係。

Swan had previously characterized the employee departures as a "corporate coup," accusing them of attempting to wrest control of its mining operations. Tether's lawsuit further raises questions about Swan's adherence to their agreements and the overall handling of the venture.

斯旺此前曾將員工離職描述為“公司政變”，指責他們試圖奪取對其採礦業務的控制權。 Tether 的訴訟進一步引發了人們對 Swan 遵守協議和合資企業整體處理的質疑。

The outcome of this legal battle will be closely watched by both Tether and Swan Bitcoin, with far-reaching implications beyond their financial stakes. The case also underscores the challenges of managing joint ventures in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency space.

Tether 和 Swan Bitcoin 都將密切關注這場法律戰的結果，其深遠影響超出了他們的財務利益。此案例也凸顯了在快速發展的加密貨幣領域管理合資企業所面臨的挑戰。
