Sphere 3D Corp. Provides Response To Misleading Gryphon Press Release
Stamford, Connecticut--(Newsfile Corp. - July 18, 2024) - Sphere 3D Corp. (NASDAQ: ANY) ("Sphere 3D"), a Bitcoin mining company, provides this response to a press release Gryphon Digital Mining Inc. ("Gryphon") issued on July 17, 2024 in which it claimed that "Sphere Concedes It Will No Longer Seek To Impose Any Liability for Impersonation of Its CFO."
康涅狄格州斯坦福- (Newsfile Corp. - 2024年7月18日) - 比特币挖掘公司Sphere 3D Corp. (纳斯达克: ANY)("Sphere 3D")回应了狮鹫数字采矿公司("Gryphon")于2024年7月17日发布的新闻稿,该公司声称"Sphere承认将不再寻求就其首席财务官身份冒充问题强制承担任何责任。"
As reflected in the filings in the litigation with Gryphon, Gryphon's press release is at best misleading: Gryphon has already effectively compensated Sphere for the impersonation and conceded its wrongdoing here, so Sphere has no need to "impose any liability for impersonation of its CFO."
就如在与Gryphon诉讼的申诉中所表达的,Gryphon所发表的新闻稿最多也只是误导:Gryphon在此次身份冒用事件中已经对Sphere进行了足够的赔偿,并且承认了其错误,因此Sphere无需"追究因首席财务官被冒名顶替而导致的任何责任。"
As detailed in Sphere's litigation in early 2023, Gryphon's CEO Rob Chang fell victim to multiple spoofing attacks in which a spoofer impersonated Sphere's CFO and tricked him into parting with approximately $560,000 of Sphere's assets. Following the attacks, Gryphon materially reimbursed Sphere, but did so "on a courtesy basis, reserving all right"-i.e., Gryphon had not really reimbursed Sphere at all and Sphere was still harmed. As such, Sphere brought claims for damages. For its part, Gryphon asserted a negligence claim against Sphere seeking recovery of its purported "repayment" to Sphere.
正如Sphere在2023年早期的诉讼中详细写明的那样,Gryphon的首席执行官Rob Chang曾多次被假冒者进行恶意欺诈,其中包括假冒Sphere的CFO并骗取了Sphere多达560,000美元的资产。在攻击之后,Gryphon进行了实质性的赔偿,但是这只是"出于礼貌而进行的,保留所有权利"。也就是说,Gryphon实际上并没有真正对Sphere进行赔偿,而Sphere仍然受到了伤害。因此,Sphere提出了损害赔偿的要求。就其本身而言,Gryphon宣称对于因为保护不力而导致的赔偿欠费向Sphere提起了一项过失索赔案件。
In February 2024, however, Gryphon dismissed its negligence claim against Sphere with prejudice, effectively conceding that it could not seek compensation from Sphere in connection with the spoofing incident and that Sphere was fully entitled to keep the reimbursement from Gryphon for failure to protect Sphere's assets. Moreover, we believe that we will be entitled to recover our attorney's fees in connection with Gryphon's baseless negligence claim. As such, there is no point to continuing to seek to impose liability on Gryphon for the spoofing attack-once a runner wins a race, she does not need to keep running.
2024年2月,然而,格里芬公司已经放弃了起诉Sphere的疏忽索赔,实际上承认它不能从Sphere那里获得补偿,也承认Sphere完全有权保留来自格里芬的未能保护其资产的赔偿金。此外,我们相信我们有权在格里芬毫无根据的疏忽索赔方面恢复我们的律师费。因此,继续试图强制格里芬为虚假信息攻击承担责任是毫无意义的-一旦赛跑者赢得比赛,她就不需要继续奔跑。
The spoofing attack remains the subject of litigation, as it presented one of the reasons Sphere terminated the MSA. The attack could have been prevented had Gryphon exercised, among other things, industry standard protocols.
虚假信息攻击仍是法律诉讼的主题,这是Sphere终止协议的原因之一。如果格里芬采取了行业标准协议,攻击本可以被预防。
Sphere continues to vigorously pursue its claims against Gryphon, which it estimates to be well in excess of $25 million.
Sphere继续积极追究其对Gryphon的索赔,其金额估计超过2500万美元。
Sphere refers investors to its filings in the litigation for more on the parties' positions. Sphere is represented by Tibor L. Nagy, Jr. and Gregory N. Wolfe of Dontzin, Nagy & Fleissig LLP.
Sphere建议投资者查阅其在诉讼中的文件以了解各方的立场。Sphere由Dontzin,Nagy & Fleissig LLP的Tibor L. Nagy, Jr.和Gregory N. Wolfe代表。
