Crypto exchange Coinbase and marketing firm Marden-Kane have agreed to pay a $2,250,000 settlement to resolve all claims in a class action lawsuit brought by a disgruntled customer who partook in an allegedly “false and misleading” Dogecoin sweepstakes, court documents filed last week show.

法庭文件顯示，加密交易所的Coinbase和營銷公司Marden-Kane已同意支付2,250,000美元的和解協議，以解決一家心懷不滿的客戶提起的集體訴訟中的所有索賠，他們在涉嫌“虛假和誤解” Dogecoin Sweepstakes中參與其中。

The settlement, which still requires approval from the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California, would compensate all of the exchange’s users in the U.S. who opted into the Dogecoin sweepstakes and traded $100 worth of the meme coin during a one-week period in June 2021.

該和解仍然需要獲得加利福尼亞北區美國地方法院的批准，它將補償美國在2021年6月的一周一周的一周期間，在美國選擇參加Dogecoin抽獎並交易價值100美元的Meme Coin的所有用戶。

Launched alongside Dogecoin’s Coinbase trading debut, the promotion—which is still open for entry—promises a grand prize of $300,000 among smaller prizes, and was free to enter. However, a link on the exchange’s website detailing that key fact was disguised using small and faint text, claimed Coinbase customer David Suski.

與Dogecoin的Coinbase Trading首次亮相一起推出的促銷活動（仍然可以入學）在較小的獎品中獲得了300,000美元的大獎，並且可以免費進入。但是，Coinbase客戶David Suski聲稱，Exchange網站上的鏈接詳細介紹了關鍵事實是用小而微弱的文字掩飾的。

Suski claimed that he would not have purchased Dogecoin on Coinbase if he had known that the exchange’s contest was free to enter, because he already owned the cryptocurrency on retail brokerage Robinhood. His lawsuit, which was filed in 2021, sought $5 million in damages.

蘇珊（Suski）聲稱，如果他知道交易所的比賽可以免費參加，他就不會在Coinbase上購買Dogecoin，因為他已經擁有零售經紀人的加密貨幣。他的訴訟於2021年提起，要求賠償500萬美元。

“We are pleased to have reached an agreement to settle the case, subject to the Court’s approval,” a Coinbase spokesperson told Decrypt.

一位Coinbase發言人告訴解密，“我們很高興達成協議解決此案。”

In terms of compensation, each member of the lawsuit’s settlement class would receive the amount of money they spent on transaction fees and “spreads” that were charged by Coinbase on their first $100 worth of Dogecoin trades during the sweepstakes’ one-week period.

在薪酬方面，訴訟的和解班的每個成員將獲得他們在交易費用上花費的金額，並獲得了Coinbase在抽獎活動的一周期間以其首次100美元的Dogecoin Trades收取的“差價”。

The parties agreed that Coinbase earned an estimated $1.3 million from those transaction fees and spreads.

雙方同意，Coinbase從這些交易費用和點差中估計獲得了130萬美元。

The lawsuit also named Marden-Kane—a Syosset, New York marketing agency that Coinbase tapped to manage the sweepstakes—as a defendant. Both parties have "long denied any wrongdoing," arguing "a reasonable customer would have discerned payments were unnecessary for entry upon reading the 'no purchase necessary' language in the ad."

該訴訟還名為Marden-Kane，這是紐約市場營銷機構Syosset，Coinbase攻擊以管理抽獎活動 - 是被告。雙方都“長期以來否認有任何不當行為”，認為“一個合理的客戶會辨別付款是不需要在閱讀廣告中'無需購買必要的'語言時進入的。”

Marden-Kane did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Marden-Kane沒有立即回應置評請求。

The dispute was recently considered by the U.S. Supreme Court, which last month rejected an argument from Coinbase that sought to compel arbitration. The justices’s denial affirmed a ruling from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.

美國最高法院最近審議了這一爭議，該爭端上個月拒絕了求職者的論點，該論點旨在強迫仲裁。大法官否認了第九巡迴上訴法院的裁決。

The price of Dogecoin was recently trading hands around $0.23, a 3.2% decrease over the past 24 hours, according to crypto data provider CoinGecko. Amid cooling trade tensions between the U.S. and China, the asset’s price surged 34% over the past week.

Crypto數據提供商Coingecko稱，Dogecoin的價格最近交易約0.23美元，在過去24小時內下降了3.2％。在美國和中國之間的冷卻貿易緊張局勢中，過去一周的資產價格飆升了34％。

On June 3, 2021—the day the Dogecoin sweepstakes began—Dogecoin was changing hands around $0.39. Less than a month before, the asset’s price peak around $0.69, alongside tech CEO Elon Musk’s much-anticipated appearance on Saturday Night Live.

2021年6月3日（Dogecoin抽獎開始的那天），Dogecoin易手0.39美元。不到一個月的前，資產的價格達到了0.69美元的高峰，與科技首席執行官埃隆·馬斯克（Elon Musk）在《週六夜現場》中備受期待的外觀。

Musk’s DOGE antics, which continue to this day, also spawned a separate lawsuit against the billionaire, alleging that his misleading statements to investors in May 2021 left them with significant financial losses. That lawsuit, which sought $258 billion in damages, was dropped in mid-November.

穆斯克（Musk）的杜格（Doge）滑稽動作（Doge Antics）一直持續到今天，還針對億萬富翁提起了另一項訴訟，聲稱他在2021年5月對投資者的誤導性陳述造成了巨大的財務損失。該訴訟要求賠償2580億美元，於11月中旬撤銷。
