擬議的和解於週三在佛羅里達聯邦法院提起的，在不承認不法行為的情況下解決了集體訴訟。

Basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal, often known as Shaq, will pay $1.8 million to settle allegations that he promoted unregistered securities through his endorsement of the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX.

籃球傳奇人物Shaquille O'Neal（通常被稱為Shaq）將支付180萬美元，以解決他通過認可倒閉的加密貨幣交易所FTX來促進未註冊證券的指控。

What Happened: The proposed settlement, filed in Florida federal court on Wednesday, resolves a class action lawsuit without O’Neal admitting wrongdoing. The deal marks one of the first high-profile celebrity settlements stemming from FTX's November 2022 bankruptcy, reported CNBC.

發生了什麼：擬議的和解於週三在佛羅里達聯邦法院提起的，在不承認不法行為的情況下解決了集體訴訟。據CNBC報導，該交易標誌著FTX 2022年11月破產的首個備受矚目的名人定居點之一。

Plaintiffs accused the NBA superstar of presenting FTX as a trustworthy investment platform through live events and social media content. The class action covers investors who deposited funds into FTX or held its proprietary FTT token between May 2019 and late 2022.

原告指責NBA超級巨星通過現場活動和社交媒體內容將FTX作為值得信賴的投資平台展示。集體訴訟涵蓋了將資金存入FTX或在2019年5月至2022年底之間的投資者。

Court documents show FTX paid O'Neal nearly $750,000 for his promotional efforts. O'Neal previously told CNBC in 2022 that "he was just a paid spokesperson for a commercial" regarding his FTX involvement.

法院文件顯示，FTX為他的促銷工作支付了近75萬美元。奧尼爾（O'Neal）此前曾在2022年對CNBC表示，“他只是FTX參與的付費發言人”。

The $1.8 million settlement will cover all legal fees, administrative costs, and investor payouts if approved by the court. The agreement includes broad liability protection for O'Neal and bars him from seeking reimbursement from the FTX bankruptcy estate.

180萬美元的和解協議將涵蓋法院批准的所有律師費，行政費用和投資者支出。該協議包括對O'Neal的廣泛責任保護​​，並禁止他從FTX破產遺產中尋求報銷。

Why It Matters: Unlike other celebrity endorsers, including Tom Brady, Gisele Bündchen, and Stephen Curry, whose cases were largely dismissed, O'Neal remained entangled in litigation after a prolonged effort to serve him legal papers.

為什麼很重要：與其他名人代言人不同，包括湯姆·布雷迪（Tom Brady），吉賽爾·伯恩（GiseleBündchen）和史蒂芬·庫裡（Stephen Curry），他們的案件在很大程度上被駁回了，在長期努力為他服務法律文件之後，奧尼爾（O'Neal）仍在訴訟中糾纏在一起。

The settlement follows O'Neal's $11 million payout in November 2024 related to his promotion of the Astrals NFT project, highlighting ongoing legal challenges for celebrity crypto endorsers.

這項和解協議是在2024年11月O'Neal的1100萬美元支出與他促進Astrals NFT項目有關的款項之後，重點介紹了名人加密代表的持續法律挑戰。

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried received a 25-year federal prison sentence in March 2024 for orchestrating what prosecutors called an "11 billion fraud" involving customer deposits. His projected release date is December 14, 2044, reflecting good conduct time credits that could reduce his sentence by over four years.

FTX創始人Sam Bankman Fried於2024年3月因策劃檢察官所說的“ 110億欺詐”涉及客戶存款的“ 110億欺詐”，於2024年3月被判處25年的聯邦監禁。他的預計發布日期是2044年12月14日，反映了良好的行為時間積分，可以將他的刑期減少到四年以上。
