基于Solana的分散交易所Meteora面临集体诉讼

4月21日在纽约南部地区的美国地方法院提交的一份申请，代表受影响的投资者提起

Solana-based decentralized exchange Meteora is facing a class-action lawsuit for allegedly fraudulent launch of the M3M3 token, which resulted in huge losses for investors.

总部位于Solana的分散交易所Meteora面临着集体诉讼，涉嫌欺诈性地发射M3M3代币，这给投资者带来了巨大的损失。

The suit, filed on April 21 in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York, was brought by a group of affected investors against Meteora, its CEO Benjamin Chow, venture firm Kelsier Labs, and executives Hayden, Gideon, and Charles Thomas Davis.

该诉讼于4月21日在纽约南部地区的美国地方法院提起，由一群受影响的投资者针对Meteora，其首席执行官Benjamin Chow，风险投资公司Kelsier Labs以及高管Hayden，Gideon和Charles Thomas Davis提起。

According to the complaint, insiders behind the project quietly secured as much as 95% of the M3M3 token supply by using a network of over 150 wallets.

根据投诉，该项目背后的内部人员通过使用150多个钱包的网络悄悄地获得了多达95％的M3M3令牌供应。

They then restricted access to public buyers during the early trading window, locking out retail investors while inflating the price through internal trades. Once the price reached desired levels, the insiders dumped their holdings, triggering a sharp crash within days.

然后，他们在早期交易窗口中限制了与公共买家的访问权限，将零售投资者锁定在一起，同时通过内部交易夸大了价格。一旦价格达到所需的水平，内部人员就会抛弃其股份，在几天内引发了急剧的崩溃。

The lawsuit says the project was pitched as a solution to the “pump-and-dump” culture plaguing meme coins, with Chow promoting M3M3 as a safe, stake-backed token with long-term value.

该诉讼称，该项目是作为解决“泵和点状”文化困扰模因硬币的解决方案的，Chow将M3M3促进了具有长期价值的安全，利益支持的令牌。

Investors were told that the launch would be transparent and open, and that staking rewards would come from transaction fees on Meteora itself, claims which plaintiffs now argue were deliberately misleading.

投资者被告知，发射将是透明且开放的，而放入奖励将来自埃洛拉本身的交易费用，原告现在认为这是故意误导的声称。

This coordinated scheme led to over $69 million in damages, as non-insider investors bought into the hype only to see the token’s value collapse within days of its launch on December 4. The sharp downturn began on December 6, shortly after insiders offloaded their tokens.

这项协调计划导致了超过6,900万美元的损失，因为非投资者投资者购买了炒作，只是为了看到该令牌的价值在12月4日推出的几天之内。

Plaintiffs allege that the defendants made calculated efforts to regain investor trust after the crash by artificially re-inflating the token’s value, but these attempts failed to restore long-term stability.

原告声称，被告通过人为地重新膨胀令牌的价值而付出了巨大的努力，以恢复投资者信托，但这些尝试未能恢复长期的稳定性。

They also claim that the defendants purposely concealed their identities and affiliations during the offering, creating the illusion of a fair, community-driven launch.

他们还声称，被告在奉献期间故意隐瞒了他们的身份和隶属关系，从而产生了公平，社区驱动的发射的幻想。

Both Meteora and Kelsier Labs have already faced scrutiny this year for their alleged involvement in the LIBRA token crash that wiped out millions.

由于涉嫌参与天秤座令牌坠毁的涉嫌参与数百万美元的坠机事故，Meteora和Kelsier Labs都已经面临审查。

During the LIBRA scandal, insiders were accused of using private liquidity structures to cash out at the top, leaving regular traders. The same teams were also linked to MELANIA, another memecoin launch that ended in losses for retail buyers.

在天秤座丑闻期间，内部人被指控使用私人流动性结构在顶部兑现，而定期交易者。同一团队也与梅拉尼亚（Melania）相关，梅拉尼亚（Melania）是另一个零售买家损失的纪念活动。

Chow has since stepped down from his role at Meteora, following allegations that he privately received or managed LIBRA tokens.

此后，Chow辞去了他在Meteora的角色，此前他指控他私下接收或管理天秤座代币。

The April 21 suit claims the launch of M3M3 followed a similar playbook. As such, plaintiffs are asking the court to appoint a receiver over Meteora to oversee its operations and safeguard remaining assets.

4月21日的诉讼声称，M3M3的发布之后是类似的剧本。因此，原告要求法院任命接收者对遗产，以监督其业务和保障剩余资产。

They’re also pushing for stake-based meme tokens like M3M3 to be officially classified as securities.

他们还推动基于股份的模因令牌（如M3M3）正式归类为证券。

“The complaint asks the court to classify stake-based meme tokens as securities and to appoint a receiver over Meteora, steps that could influence how any new celebrity or political token is brought to market on Solana,” said Max Burwick from Burwick Law, one of the attorneys representing the investor group.

“投诉要求法院将基于股份的模因令牌归类为证券，并任命一名接管人对遗传学的措施，这可能会影响任何新的名人或政治代币在Solana上向市场推销的措施，”代表投资者集团的律师之一Burwick Law的Max Burwick说。

Burwick and his firm previously filed a separate class-action lawsuit on March 18 targeting Kelsier Ventures, KIP Protocol, and Meteora for their alleged roles in the LIBRA token scandal.

Burwick和他的公司此前在3月18日针对Kelsier Ventures，Kip协议和Meteora的诉讼中提起了一次集体诉讼，因为他们涉嫌在天秤座代币丑闻中扮演角色。
