哈林NFT项目的创始人乔纳森·米尔斯（Jonathan Mills）被投资者起诉数百万美元

一群投资者已针对乔纳森·米尔斯（Jonathan Mills）提起诉讼，指控他挪用了数百万美元，通过NFT销售和连接的比特币矿业公司提起诉讼。

A group of investors has banded together to sue Jonathan Mills, the founder of the Hashling NFT project, for allegedly misappropriating millions of dollars raised through NFT sales and a Bitcoin mining venture.

一群投资者团结起来，苏·乔纳森·米尔斯（Sue Jonathan Mills）是哈林NFT项目的创始人，据称盗用了通过NFT销售和比特币矿业公司筹集的数百万美元。

The lawsuit, filed in Illinois on May 14 and seen by Blockworks, follows a report by The Block on the project’s collapse earlier this year.

该诉讼于5月14日在伊利诺伊州提起，并由Blockworks看到，遵循该公司今年早些时候该项目倒闭的报告。

According to legal documents, the case centers around claims that Mills transferred at least $3 million in assets to Satoshi Labs LLC—a company he leads—without delivering promised equity returns to other investors in the project.

根据法律文件，该案件围绕声称，米尔斯将至少300万美元的资产转移给了他领导的一家公司的Satoshi Labs LLC，而该公司没有向该项目的其他投资者提供承诺的股权回报。

Investors say they sold two Hashling NFT collections on Solana and Bitcoin, raising over $1.4 million for the project. The funds were meant to be used for mining equipment and other operating expenses, with investors receiving a portion of the project’s profits.

投资者表示，他们出售了有关Solana和Bitcoin的两个Hashling NFT系列，为该项目筹集了超过140万美元。这些资金原本用于采矿设备和其他运营费用，投资者获得了项目的一部分利润。

However, the plaintiffs claim they received no earnings and were eventually blocked from communicating with Mills and the project team.

但是，原告声称他们没有获得任何收入，并最终被阻止与米尔斯和项目团队沟通。

The plaintiffs accuse Mills of fabricating a flawed shareholder agreement to justify his control of the assets. The document awarded Mills a 67% ownership stake and voting rights, while other investors were granted just 2% equity for contributions of up to $20,000.

原告指责工厂制造有缺陷的股东协议，以证明他对资产的控制是合理的。该文件向米尔斯授予了67％的所有权股份和投票权，而其他投资者仅获得了2％的股权，最高可达20,000美元。

The name change from Proof of Work Labs to Satoshi Labs was, according to the lawsuit, used to obscure asset control while falsely assuring partners their equity would remain intact.

根据诉讼，该名称从工作证明实验室变为Satoshi Labs是用来模糊资产控制的，而错误地向合作伙伴保证其权益将保持完整状态。

Mills had no experience with NFTs and initially pitched the project to one of the plaintiffs, who brought in collaborators for art, marketing, and event representation. Among those who invested was Mills’ girlfriend, the complaint claims.

米尔斯（Mills）在NFTS没有经验，最初将该项目推向了一位原告，后者带来了艺术，市场营销和活动代表的合作者。投诉称，投资的人是米尔斯的女友。

The group is now seeking full restitution and a constructive trust over the project’s assets. They claim Mills’s actions amount to fraud and a breach of fiduciary duty.

该集团现在正在寻求对项目资产的完全恢复原状和建设性的信任。他们声称米尔斯的行动等于欺诈和违反信托义务。

“The team worked well together at first, and they made significant contributions to the project's success,” said the plaintiffs’ attorney, Clinton Ind of Ind Law.

原告的律师，克林顿印第安纳州法律的克林顿（Ind Law）说：“该团队起初共同努力，他们为该项目的成功做出了重大贡献。”

“However, Jonathan's actions later betrayed their trust and financial contributions. This lawsuit seeks to hold him accountable for his actions and ensure that the investors receive the compensation and recognition they deserve.”

“但是，乔纳森的行动后来背叛了他们的信任和财务捐款。该诉讼旨在使他对自己的行为负责，并确保投资者获得应有的赔偿和认可。”

The case is A. B. C., et al. v. Jonathan Mills, et al., no 23-03853, in the Circuit Court of Cook County, (Illinois).

该案是ABC等。诉乔纳森·米尔斯（Jonathan Mills）等人，第23-03853号，在库克县巡回法院（伊利诺伊州）。
