Shaq 以 1100 万美元和解 Astrals NFT 集体诉讼

前篮球运动员 Shaq 可能正在摆脱 Astral NFT 的集体诉讼，但并非没有开出一张大额支票。

NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal is reportedly nearing the end of his legal troubles regarding the failed NFT project, Astrals. According to recent reports, O’Neal has agreed to pay $11 million to settle a class-action lawsuit over his involvement in promoting the non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

据报道，NBA 传奇人物沙奎尔·奥尼尔 (Shaquille O'Neal) 因失败的 NFT 项目 Astrals 所面临的法律纠纷即将结束。据最近报道，奥尼尔已同意支付 1100 万美元，以了结因他参与推广不可替代代币（NFT）而引发的集体诉讼。

The lawsuit, filed back in May 2023, alleged that O’Neal played a key role in founding and promoting the Solana-based Astrals NFT project, which was accused of offering and selling unregistered securities. Several investors were allegedly drawn to the project due to O’Neal’s celebrity status, but the assets later crashed in value, leading to significant financial losses for the plaintiffs.

该诉讼于 2023 年 5 月提起，指控奥尼尔在创建和推广位于 Solana 的 Astrals NFT 项目中发挥了关键作用，该项目被指控提供和销售未注册证券。据称，由于奥尼尔的名人地位，一些投资者被吸引到该项目，但资产后来价值暴跌，导致原告遭受重大经济损失。

With the $11 million settlement, the class-action lawsuit will be dismissed, finally concluding the year-long legal saga that has followed the basketball legend. The reports also mentioned that O’Neal is working to resolve a separate lawsuit related to his involvement with the defunct crypto exchange FTX.

随着 1100 万美元的和解，集体诉讼将被驳回，这位篮球传奇人物长达一年的法律传奇终于结束。报道还提到，奥尼尔正在努力解决与他参与已停业的加密货币交易所 FTX 有关的另一起诉讼。

O’Neal is among the several celebrities who faced legal troubles due to their involvement with FTX, which collapsed in late 2022.

奥尼尔是因参与 FTX 而面临法律麻烦的几位名人之一，FTX 于 2022 年底倒闭。

Shaq’s troubles in the Astrals NFT saga highlight the broader trend of celebrities getting involved in crypto projects.

Shaq 在 Astrals NFT 传奇中遇到的麻烦凸显了名人参与加密项目的更广泛趋势。

This year has seen a surge in celebrities and influential figures entering the crypto and blockchain industry, aiming to capitalize on the market hype for quick financial gains. Several high-profile names have attached their credibility to projects, ranging from flashy promotions to dubious endorsements.

今年，进入加密货币和区块链行业的名人和影响力人物激增，旨在利用市场炒作来快速获得财务收益。一些知名人士已经将自己的信誉赋予了项目，从华丽的促销到可疑的认可。

Notable figures like Lionel Messi, Caitlyn Jenner, Cardi B, and Andrew Tate, among others, have been involved in their own respective projects this year, each facing varying degrees of controversy.

莱昂内尔·梅西 (Lionel Messi)、凯特琳·詹纳 (Caitlyn Jenner)、卡迪·B (Cardi B) 和安德鲁·泰特 (Andrew Tate) 等著名人物今年都参与了各自的项目，每个项目都面临着不同程度的争议。

However, the mere involvement of celebrities in these projects is not the issue. The credibility and longevity of these ventures are what matter, as most fail to deliver on their promises and quickly vanish, leaving lasting scars on those who trusted their celebrity backers.

然而，仅仅名人参与这些项目并不是问题。这些企业的信誉和寿命至关重要，因为大多数企业都未能兑现承诺并很快消失，给那些信任其名人支持者的人留下了持久的伤痕。

This troubling pattern of flashy promotions followed by deep crashes has damaged the reputations of these figures, serving as a reminder for investors to exercise caution.

这种华丽的促销随后严重崩盘的令人不安的模式损害了这些人物的声誉，提醒投资者谨慎行事。
