AT&T Files Motion to Dismiss Amended Crypto Investor Fraud Suit

AT&T 提出动议驳回修订后的加密货币投资者欺诈诉讼

Los Angeles, California - U.S. mobile communications behemoth AT&T has filed a motion to dismiss an amended lawsuit brought by cryptocurrency investor Mike Terpin, alleging that he fell victim to a malicious SIM-swap hack due to AT&T's negligence. AT&T contends that Terpin failed to adequately establish how the company concealed security flaws or misled him, and emphasizes that he admits to not having read relevant company documents.

加利福尼亚州洛杉矶 - 美国移动通信巨头 AT&T 已提出动议，驳回加密货币投资者 Mike Terpin 提起的修改后的诉讼，指控他因 AT&T 的疏忽而成为恶意 SIM 交换黑客攻击的受害者。 AT&T 辩称，特平未能充分证明该公司如何隐瞒安全漏洞或误导他，并强调他承认没有阅读相关公司文件。

Background of the Case

案件背景

In August 2018, Terpin initiated a civil lawsuit against AT&T, asserting that an employee had been bribed to transfer control of his SIM card to an unauthorized party. Terpin claims that AT&T was aware of his elevated risk of a SIM-swap attack but failed to warn him or prevent the incident. He is seeking compensation of $23.8 million and punitive damages of $200 million.

2018 年 8 月，Terpin 对 AT&T 提起民事诉讼，声称一名员工被贿赂，将其 SIM 卡的控制权转移给未经授权的一方。 Terpin 声称 AT&T 知道他遭受 SIM 交换攻击的风险较高，但未能警告他或阻止该事件。他正在寻求 2,380 万美元的赔偿和 2 亿美元的惩罚性赔偿。

AT&T's Motion to Dismiss

AT&T 驳回动议

In its motion to dismiss Terpin's amended complaint, filed this week in the Central District of California federal court, AT&T argues that he has not provided sufficient evidence to support his claims of concealment and misrepresentation. Specifically, AT&T alleges that:

AT&T 本周向加州中区联邦法院提交了驳回特平修正申诉的动议，其中辩称特平没有提供足够的证据来支持他隐瞒和虚假陈述的指控。具体来说，AT&T 声称：

1. No Evidence of Concealment: Terpin has failed to demonstrate how AT&T concealed any alleged deficiencies in its data security system or actively misled him about its practices.
2. Lack of Reliance on Written Documents: Terpin has conceded that he did not read the privacy policy and code of business conduct documents that he claims AT&T misrepresented. Therefore, AT&T maintains that Terpin cannot base his misrepresentation claim on written materials that he did not rely on.

Previous Motion Denied

没有隐瞒证据：Terpin 未能证明 AT&T 是如何隐瞒其数据安全系统中任何所谓的缺陷或积极误导他的做法。 缺乏对书面文件的依赖：Terpin 承认他没有阅读 AT&T 的隐私政策和代码他声称 AT&T 歪曲了商业行为文件。因此，AT&T 认为特平不能以他不依赖的书面材料为依据提出虚假陈述。 先前动议被拒绝

A previous motion to dismiss filed by AT&T in February was denied by a judge, allowing Terpin 21 days to file an amended complaint that addressed the deficiencies identified by AT&T. The current motion to dismiss pertains to this amended complaint.

AT&T 在 2 月份提出的驳回动议被法官驳回，Terpin 有 21 天的时间提交修改后的投诉，以解决 AT&T 发现的缺陷。目前的驳回动议涉及此修订后的投诉。

Similar Case

类似案例

In December 2023, AT&T filed a similar motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by another cryptocurrency executive who suffered a phone hack. AT&T argued that the case contained "critical holes" in its allegations.

2023 年 12 月，AT&T 提出了类似动议，驳回另一位遭受电话黑客攻击的加密货币高管提起的诉讼。 AT&T 辩称，该案的指控存在“严重漏洞”。

Conclusion

结论

The outcome of AT&T's motion to dismiss will significantly impact the ongoing legal battle between the company and Terpin. If the motion is granted, Terpin will be barred from pursuing his claims against AT&T. The proceedings will continue to be closely monitored as the case progresses through the judicial system.

AT&T 驳回动议的结果将对该公司与 Terpin 之间正在进行的法律纠纷产生重大影响。如果该动议获得批准，特平将被禁止向 AT&T 提出索赔。随着案件在司法系统中取得进展，诉讼程序将继续受到密切关注。
