比特币矿商 Sphere 3D 驳斥了前合作伙伴 Gryphon Digital Mining 的指控，称该公司正处于财务崩溃的边缘。 Sphere 3D 声称其拥有 4500 万美元的资产和 500 万美元的负债，并可能在明天支付 3000 万美元的判决。该公司还指责 Gryphon 不合理地增加诉讼程序，包括通过后来撤销的反诉。

Bitcoin Miner Sphere 3D Rebuts Allegations of Financial Distress, Accuses Former Partner of Baseless Claims

Bitcoin Miner Sphere 3D 反驳财务困境指控，指责前合作伙伴毫无根据的指控

Amidst the ongoing legal battle between Bitcoin mining company Sphere 3D and its former partner Gryphon Digital Mining, Sphere 3D has vehemently denied allegations of financial troubles, characterizing them as "at best disingenuous."

在比特币挖矿公司 Sphere 3D 与其前合作伙伴 Gryphon Digital Mining 之间持续不断的法律纠纷中，Sphere 3D 强烈否认有关财务问题的指控，称这些指控“充其量是不诚实的”。

In a court document submitted to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, Sphere 3D provided detailed evidence to refute accusations made by Gryphon, which had requested a freeze on millions of dollars based on the claim that Sphere was on the "verge of economic collapse."

在提交给美国纽约南区地方法院的一份法庭文件中，Sphere 3D 提供了详细的证据来反驳 Gryphon 的指控，Gryphon 声称 Sphere 正在“经济崩溃的边缘。”

Sphere 3D presented a comprehensive financial statement, demonstrating assets totaling $45 million and liabilities of $5 million, as reported in its 2023 Annual Report. The company asserted that "a judgment of even $30 million could be rendered against Sphere tomorrow and it would have the means to pay."

Sphere 3D 提交了一份全面的财务报表，显示其 2023 年年度报告中的资产总额为 4500 万美元，负债为 500 万美元。该公司声称“明天可能会对 Sphere 做出 3000 万美元的判决，并且它有能力支付。”

Regarding the $10 million in equity proceeds that Sphere 3D recently received from a settlement related to Core Scientific's bankruptcy exit, the company stated that Gryphon's request to secure them was unwarranted. Sphere 3D accused Gryphon of unreasonably prolonging the proceedings through counterclaims that were subsequently dropped.

关于 Sphere 3D 最近从与 Core Scientific 破产退出相关的和解中获得的 1000 万美元股权收益，该公司表示，Gryphon 要求获得这些收益的要求是没有根据的。 Sphere 3D 指控 Gryphon 通过反诉无理地延长诉讼程序，但随后被撤销。

A source familiar with the litigation disclosed that Gryphon's move to acquire $10 million from Sphere may be motivated by its own financial difficulties. According to the source, Gryphon has $18 million in assets and $27 million in liabilities, resulting in negative working capital of $9 million. The source also noted that Gryphon's loan agreement requires any excess income to be used to repay its loans with Anchorage.

一位熟悉诉讼的消息人士透露，Gryphon 从 Sphere 收购 1000 万美元的举动可能是出于其自身的财务困难。消息人士称，Gryphon 拥有 1800 万美元资产和 2700 万美元负债，导致营运资金为负 900 万美元。消息人士还指出，Gryphon 的贷款协议要求任何超额收入都必须用于偿还与安克雷奇的贷款。

The legal dispute between Gryphon and Sphere 3D stems from a Master Service Agreement (MSA) signed in 2021, under which Gryphon acted as the exclusive provider of management services for Sphere's blockchain and cryptocurrency operations. However, the relationship deteriorated in April 2023 when Sphere initiated legal action against Gryphon following an alleged spoofing incident that resulted in the unauthorized transfer of 26 Bitcoin (BTC) to a malicious actor.

Gryphon 与 Sphere 3D 之间的法律纠纷源于 2021 年签署的主服务协议（MSA），根据该协议，Gryphon 担任 Sphere 区块链和加密货币运营管理服务的独家提供商。然而，这种关系在 2023 年 4 月恶化，当时 Sphere 因涉嫌欺骗事件而对 Gryphon 提起法律诉讼，导致 26 比特币 (BTC) 未经授权转移给恶意行为者。

Gryphon has accused Sphere of breaching the MSA by entering into four hosting agreements without its consent. Sphere 3D maintains that it was permitted to enter into such contracts under the MSA and through independent discussions with Gryphon. Furthermore, Sphere argues that any breaches it may have committed were minor and do not warrant the substantial damages claimed by Gryphon.

Gryphon 指控 Sphere 在未经其同意的情况下签订了四项托管协议，违反了 MSA。 Sphere 3D 坚称，它是根据 MSA 并通过与 Gryphon 的独立讨论获准签订此类合同的。此外，Sphere 辩称，其可能犯下的任何违规行为都是轻微的，不能保证 Gryphon 所声称的重大损失。

In a countersuit, Sphere 3D is seeking damages exceeding $25 million from Gryphon for failing to file a proof of claim in Core Scientific's bankruptcy case. Sphere 3D had provided $35 million in deposits to Core for hosting services, but only received about $1 million in return. Following Core's bankruptcy declaration, Sphere settled with the company for $10 million in reorganized equity.

在反诉讼中，Sphere 3D 因未能在 Core Scientific 破产案中提交索赔证明而向 Gryphon 寻求超过 2500 万美元的赔偿。 Sphere 3D 已向 Core 提供了 3500 万美元的押金用于托管服务，但仅收到约 100 万美元的回报。 Core 宣布破产后，Sphere 与该公司以 1000 万美元的重组股权达成和解。

Crucially, Gryphon's failure to file a proof of claim in Core's bankruptcy case by the deadline created a complex situation, as Core argued that Sphere was not directly involved, hindering Sphere's efforts to recover its deposits.

至关重要的是，Gryphon 未能在截止日期前提交 Core 破产案的索赔证明，造成了一个复杂的情况，因为 Core 辩称 Sphere 没有直接参与，这阻碍了 Sphere 追回存款的努力。

The legal battle between Gryphon and Sphere 3D continues, with both parties making strong claims. Sphere 3D's rebuttal of Gryphon's allegations of financial distress, coupled with its countersuit seeking substantial damages, adds further complexity to this intricate legal dispute.

Gryphon 和 Sphere 3D 之间的法律纠纷仍在继续，双方都提出了强烈主张。 Sphere 3D 对 Gryphon 财务困境指控的反驳，以及寻求巨额赔偿的反诉，进一步加剧了这一错综复杂的法律纠纷的复杂性。
