埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 赢得数十亿美元狗狗币诉讼被驳回，律师誓言上诉

对于原告来说，可惜的是，在纽约的一名联邦法官周四驳回此案后，他们的诉讼请求落空了。

A federal judge in New York has dismissed a billion-dollar lawsuit accusing Elon Musk of rigging Dogecoin and engaging in insider trading.

纽约一名联邦法官驳回了一项价值十亿美元的诉讼，指控埃隆·马斯克操纵狗狗币并参与内幕交易。

The class-action lawsuit, filed in 2021, alleged that Musk and his companies, Tesla and SpaceX, drove up the price of Dogecoin by making false and misleading statements about the cryptocurrency. The plaintiffs, who included people who lost money investing in Dogecoin, claimed that Musk’s statements violated federal securities laws.

这起集体诉讼于 2021 年提起，指控马斯克及其公司特斯拉和 SpaceX 通过对加密货币做出虚假和误导性陈述，推高了狗狗币的价格。原告包括因投资狗狗币而蒙受损失的人，他们声称马斯克的言论违反了联邦证券法。

But in a two-page ruling on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein said that Musk's statements about Dogecoin were "no more than puffery," and that "no reasonable investor could rely upon them" to make investment decisions.

但在周四的一份长达两页的裁决中，美国地区法官阿尔文·海勒斯坦 (Alvin Hellerstein) 表示，马斯克关于狗狗币的声明“只不过是夸大其词”，“任何理性的投资者都不能依赖这些声明”来做出投资决策。

Hellerstein cited a legal concept that dates back more than a century, in which judges have dismissed advertising claims as "puffery" if they are intended to drum up hype and not serious promises.

海勒斯坦引用了一个可以追溯到一个多世纪前的法律概念，其中法官将广告声明视为“虚张声势”，如果广告的目的是炒作而不是认真的承诺，则将其驳回。

The judge also noted that the plaintiffs had failed to show how Musk and his companies benefited from the alleged Dogecoin scheme.

法官还指出，原告未能证明马斯克及其公司如何从所谓的狗狗币计划中受益。

"The complaint is devoid of any specific factual allegations showing that Musk or the other defendants touted Dogecoin, drove up its price, and then quickly sold their holdings at a profit," Hellerstein wrote.

海勒斯坦写道：“该投诉没有任何具体的事实指控，表明马斯克或其他被告吹捧狗狗币，抬高其价格，然后迅速出售所持股份以获取利润。”

The ruling is a major victory for Musk, who has been dogged by the Dogecoin lawsuit for more than a year. The judge's decision also prevents the plaintiffs from filing an amended complaint, making it unlikely that the case will proceed further.

这一裁决对于马斯克来说是一次重大胜利，他已经被狗狗币诉讼困扰了一年多。法官的决定还阻止原告提出修改后的申诉，使案件不太可能进一步审理。

Dogecoin fans celebrated the news on X, where they posted memes and thanked the judge for dismissing the "baseless" lawsuit.

狗狗币粉丝在 X 上庆祝了这一消息，他们在 X 上发布了表情包，并感谢法官驳回了这一“毫无根据”的诉讼。

"Elon Musk just won the dismissal of a long-running, billion-dollar lawsuit accusing him of rigging Dogecoin and engaging in insider trading," one X user wrote.

一位 X 用户写道：“埃隆·马斯克刚刚赢得了一场旷日持久、价值数十亿美元的诉讼被驳回，该诉讼指控他操纵狗狗币并参与内幕交易。”

"The judge also threw the case out with prejudice, meaning the plaintiffs don't get another chance to amend the lawsuit in hopes of making it stick. Johnson’s lawyer, however, has vowed to appeal the ruling—though that may be a long shot."

“法官还带着偏见驳回了此案，这意味着原告没有机会再次修改诉讼，以求维持原判。然而，约翰逊的律师发誓要对裁决提出上诉——尽管这可能是一个渺茫的机会”。
