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.

法庭文件显示，加密交易所的Coinbase和营销公司Marden-Kane已同意支付2,250,000美元的和解协议，以解决一家心怀不满的客户提起的集体诉讼中的所有索赔，他们在涉嫌“虚假和误解” Dogecoin Sweepstakes中参与其中。

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.

该和解仍然需要获得加利福尼亚北区美国地方法院的批准，它将补偿美国在2021年6月的一周一周的一周期间，在美国选择参加Dogecoin抽奖并交易价值100美元的Meme Coin的所有用户。

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.

与Dogecoin的Coinbase Trading首次亮相一起推出的促销活动（仍然可以入学）在较小的奖品中获得了300,000美元的大奖，并且可以免费进入。但是，Coinbase客户David Suski声称，Exchange网站上的链接详细介绍了关键事实是用小而微弱的文字掩饰的。

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.

苏珊（Suski）声称，如果他知道交易所的比赛可以免费参加，他就不会在Coinbase上购买Dogecoin，因为他已经拥有零售经纪人的加密货币。他的诉讼于2021年提起，要求赔偿500万美元。

“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发言人告诉解密，“我们很高兴达成协议解决此案。”

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，诉讼的和解班的每个成员将获得他们在交易费用上花费的金额，并获得了Coinbase在抽奖活动的一周期间以其首次100美元的Dogecoin Trades收取的“差价”。

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

双方同意，Coinbase从这些交易费用和点差中估计获得了130万美元。

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."

该诉讼还名为Marden-Kane，这是纽约市场营销机构Syosset，Coinbase攻击以管理抽奖活动 - 是被告。双方都“长期以来否认有任何不当行为”，认为“一个合理的客户会辨别付款是不需要在阅读广告中'无需购买必要的'语言时进入的。”

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

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.

美国最高法院最近审议了这一争议，该争端上个月拒绝了求职者的论点，该论点旨在强迫仲裁。大法官否认了第九巡回上诉法院的裁决。

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数据提供商Coingecko称，Dogecoin的价格最近交易约0.23美元，在过去24小时内下降了3.2％。在美国和中国之间的冷却贸易紧张局势中，过去一周的资产价格飙升了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抽奖开始的那天），Dogecoin易手0.39美元。不到一个月的前，资产的价格达到了0.69美元的高峰，与科技首席执行官埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）在《周六夜现场》中备受期待的外观。

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）滑稽动作（Doge Antics）一直持续到今天，还针对亿万富翁提起了另一项诉讼，声称他在2021年5月对投资者的误导性陈述造成了巨大的财务损失。该诉讼要求赔偿2580亿美元，于11月中旬撤销。

David Harris, a lawyer representing Suski, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
