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."
比特幣礦業公司Sphere 3D(納斯達克:ANY)對Gryphon Digital Mining Inc.("Gryphon")於2024年7月17日發佈的新聞稿做出回應,該新聞稿聲稱"Sphere承認不再追究因其首席財務官被冒名頂替而導致的任何責任。"
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."
就如在與Gryphon訴訟的申訴中所表達的,Gryphon所發表的新聞稿最多也只是誤導:Gryphon在此次身份冒用事件中已經對Sphere進行了足夠的賠償,並且承認了其錯誤,因此Sphere無需"追究因首席財務官被冒名頂替而導致的任何責任。"
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年早期的訴訟中詳細寫明的那樣,Gryphon的首席執行官Rob Chang曾多次被假冒者進行惡意欺詐,其中包括假冒Sphere的CFO並騙取了Sphere多達560,000美元的資產。在攻擊之後,Gryphon進行了實質性的賠償,但是這只是"出於禮貌而進行的,保留所有權利"。也就是說,Gryphon實際上並沒有真正對Sphere進行賠償,而Sphere仍然受到了傷害。因此,Sphere提出了損害賠償的要求。就其本身而言,Gryphon宣稱對於因爲保護不力而導致的賠償欠費向Sphere提起了一項過失索賠案件。
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.
然而,在2024年2月,Gryphon對其對Sphere提出的過失索賠案件進行了撤銷,有效地承認其無法在身份冒用事件中從Sphere獲得任何補償,而Sphere完全有權利保留從Gryphon獲得的賠償用於未能保護其資產。此外,我們也相信我們有權力在Gryphon毫無根據的過失索賠案件中追回我們的律師費。因此,繼續追究Gryphon的身份冒用攻擊是否有責任已經沒有意義-一旦一個跑步者贏得比賽,她就不需要繼續奔跑。
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.
身份冒用事件仍然是訴訟的爭議焦點,它是Sphere終止MCA的原因之一。如果Gryphon按照行業標準協議等採取措施,則可以避免此次攻擊。
Sphere continues to vigorously pursue its claims against Gryphon, which it estimates to be well in excess of $25 million.
Sphere繼續積極追究其對Gryphon的索賠,其金額估計超過2500萬美元。
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.
