Swan Bitcoin 起诉前员工涉嫌窃取软件代码和机密数据

Swan Bitcoin 声称六名前雇员窃取了其商业机密，创建了一家名为 Proton Management 的类似公司。

Bitcoin company Swan is suing its former employees, alleging that they stole trade secrets to create a competing firm. The employees allegedly carried out this corporate espionage to steal Swan’s Bitcoin mining business at Tether’s Direction.

比特币公司 Swan 正在起诉其前雇员，指控他们窃取商业机密以创建一家竞争公司。据称，这些员工进行了企业间谍活动，目的是窃取 Swan 在 Tether's Direction 的比特币挖矿业务。

Swan has claimed that six former employees have stolen its trade secrets to create a similar firm named Proton Management. Swan has accused Tether of being part of the ‘rain and hellfire plan.’ The former employees are accused of stealing highly proprietary code, hash-rate optimization techniques, and financial models.

斯旺声称，六名前雇员窃取了其商业机密，创建了一家名为 Proton Management 的类似公司。 Swan 指责 Tether 是“雨与地狱火计划”的一部分。这些前雇员被指控窃取高度专有的代码、哈希率优化技术和财务模型。

The lawsuit further claims that the ex-employees colluded with Tether to undermine Swan Bitcoin’s mining operations, stealing their vendors and business partners. The defendants are accused of breach of contract, misappropriation of trade secrets, and unfair competition.

该诉讼进一步声称，前员工与 Tether 勾结，破坏 Swan Bitcoin 的挖矿业务，窃取其供应商和业务合作伙伴的利益。被告被指控违反合同、盗用商业秘密和不正当竞争。

Swan Bitcoin was founded in 2019 to provide investors with financial services, and they launched their Bitcoin Mining operations in 2023. The stablecoin giant Tether funded Swan’s bitcoin mining operation the previous year.

Swan Bitcoin 成立于 2019 年，旨在为投资者提供金融服务，并于 2023 年启动了比特币挖矿业务。稳定币巨头 Tether 在前一年资助了 Swan 的比特币挖矿业务。

The lawsuit now claims that Tether was double-dealing with Swan Bitcoin throughout this period. Swan has accused Tether advisor Zach Lyons of having secret meetings with the former head of mining, Raphael Zagary, and other ex-employees. After this incident, Swan Bitcoin ended its managed mining unit and canceled its first public offering (IPO).

该诉讼现在声称，Tether 在此期间与 Swan Bitcoin 进行了双重交易。斯旺指责 Tether 顾问扎克·莱昂斯 (Zach Lyons) 与前矿业主管拉斐尔·扎加里 (Raphael Zagary) 和其他前雇员进行秘密会议。此次事件发生后，Swan Bitcoin 结束了其托管挖矿部门，并取消了首次公开募股（IPO）。

The defendants then resigned from Swan and started Proton Management company. On August 12, Tether replaced Swan with Proton in their mining contract, and a deal for a managed mining service for institutional investors was made between both parties.

被告随后从 Swan 辞职并创办了 Proton Management 公司。 8 月 12 日，Tether 在挖矿合同中用 Proton 取代了 Swan，双方达成了为机构投资者提供托管挖矿服务的协议。

Swan has asserted that this misconduct has inflicted irreversible damage to its operations, potentially leading to the loss of business opportunities and a tarnished reputation. The lawsuit cites a calculated strategy where the former employees, alongside Tether, aimed to dismantle Swan’s mining business from the inside out.

斯旺声称，这种不当行为对其运营造成了不可逆转的损害，可能导致商业机会的丧失和声誉受损。该诉讼引用了一项经过深思熟虑的策略，前员工与 Tether 一起，旨在从内到外拆除 Swan 的挖矿业务。

Now, Swan Bitcoin seeks permanent injunctions against the defendants, restitution and punitive damages against Proton Management, and wants the items that were taken without authorization. The verdict in this legal battle can set a standard for resolving IP conflicts in the cryptocurrency sector.

现在，Swan Bitcoin 寻求对被告的永久禁令、对 Proton Management 的赔偿和惩罚性赔偿，并希望收回未经授权拿走的物品。这场官司的判决可以为解决加密货币领域的知识产权冲突树立标准。
