NBA传奇人物Shaquille O'Neal支付180万美元来解决他提升未注册的加密货币交易所FTX的指控

拟议的和解于周三在佛罗里达联邦法院提起的，在不承认不法行为的情况下解决了集体诉讼。

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.

篮球传奇人物Shaquille O'Neal（通常被称为Shaq）将支付180万美元，以解决他通过认可倒闭的加密货币交易所FTX来促进未注册证券的指控。

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.

发生了什么：拟议的和解于周三在佛罗里达联邦法院提起的，在不承认不法行为的情况下解决了集体诉讼。据CNBC报道，该交易标志着FTX 2022年11月破产的首个备受瞩目的名人定居点之一。

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.

原告指责NBA超级巨星通过现场活动和社交媒体内容将FTX作为值得信赖的投资平台展示。集体诉讼涵盖了将资金存入FTX或在2019年5月至2022年底之间的投资者。

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.

法院文件显示，FTX为他的促销工作支付了近75万美元。奥尼尔（O'Neal）此前曾在2022年对CNBC表示，“他只是FTX参与的付费发言人”。

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.

180万美元的和解协议将涵盖法院批准的所有律师费，行政费用和投资者支出。该协议包括对O'Neal的广泛责任保护，并禁止他从FTX破产遗产中寻求报销。

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.

为什么很重要：与其他名人代言人不同，包括汤姆·布雷迪（Tom Brady），吉赛尔·伯恩（GiseleBündchen）和史蒂芬·库里（Stephen Curry），他们的案件在很大程度上被驳回了，在长期努力为他服务法律文件之后，奥尼尔（O'Neal）仍在诉讼中纠缠在一起。

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.

这项和解协议是在2024年11月O'Neal的1100万美元支出与他促进Astrals NFT项目有关的款项之后，重点介绍了名人加密代表的持续法律挑战。

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创始人Sam Bankman Fried于2024年3月因策划检察官所说的“ 110亿欺诈”涉及客户存款的“ 110亿欺诈”，于2024年3月被判处25年的联邦监禁。他的预计发布日期是2044年12月14日，反映了良好的行为时间积分，可以将他的刑期减少到四年以上。
