Binance's effort to block a lawsuit that accuses it of illegally selling crypto assets has hit a roadblock after the US Supreme Court declined to hear its appeal, Bloomberg Law reported.

据彭博社报道，在美国最高法院拒绝听取其上诉后，币安试图阻止一项指控其非法出售加密资产的诉讼，但这一努力遇到了障碍。

The lawsuit, filed in 2020, alleges that a group of Binance investors were not warned by the crypto exchange about the risks involved in several tokens, including ELF, EOS, and FUN, which they purchased in 2017. The investors are seeking compensation for their losses, as well as interest and legal costs.

该诉讼于 2020 年提起，称一群币安投资者没有收到该加密货币交易所关于他们在 2017 年购买的 ELF、EOS 和 FUN 等多种代币所涉及风险的警告。投资者正在寻求赔偿损失，以及利息和法律费用。

Binance has argued that it should not be subject to US securities laws because it is not a US-based company.

币安辩称，它不应受到美国证券法的约束，因为它不是一家总部位于美国的公司。

A US district court initially dismissed the case in March 2022, ruling in favor of Binance's argument that US securities laws did not apply because the transactions were considered "extraterritorial" and some claims were filed too late.

美国地方法院最初于 2022 年 3 月驳回了此案，裁定支持币安的论点，即美国证券法不适用，因为这些交易被认为是“域外”的，而且一些索赔提出得太晚。

But an appeals court later reversed that decision, finding that there was enough evidence to suggest that the transactions were domestic, based on the location of servers and the investors' activities within the US, according to a public document shared by Bloomberg Law.

但根据彭博社法律分享的一份公开文件，上诉法院后来推翻了这一决定，认为根据服务器的位置和投资者在美国境内的活动，有足够的证据表明这些交易是国内交易。

Following the decision, Binance and its former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, appealed to the Supreme Court. They argued that the 2nd Circuit misapplied the 2010 Morrison v National Australia Bank decision by permitting liability across different stages of securities transactions and countries.

判决后，币安及其前首席执行官赵长鹏向最高法院提出上诉。他们认为，第二巡回法院误用了 2010 年莫里森诉澳大利亚国民银行案的判决，允许跨证券交易阶段和国家承担责任。
