U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein in the Southern District of New York dismissed the complaint August 29.<\/p>\n<p>Claiming it was part of a &#8220;<em>Dogecoin Pyramid Scheme<\/em>&#8221; the complaint, brought by a group of June 2022 Dogecoin investors, claimed <strong>Musk<\/strong> and <strong>Tesla<\/strong> built up the price of Dogecoin by over 36,000% over two years, just to let it fall. Claiming $258 billion in damages, the plaintiffs accused Musk of leveraging his wealth as the wealthiest man in the world to control the bitcoin.<\/p>\n<p>Judge <strong>Hellerstein <\/strong>decided that Musk&#8217;s comments about Dogecoin\u2014including jokes about becoming its CEO and intentions to place a &#8220;literal&#8221; Dogecoin on a SpaceX vehicle\u2014were aspirational and amounted to &#8221; puffery,&#8221; not factual assertions. Since they were not easily falsifiable, he said, &#8220;no reasonable investor could rely upon them&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, <strong>Musk<\/strong> had asked that the case be dropped; his attorneys had written of the allegations as a &#8220;fanciful work of fiction.&#8221; The court&#8217;s decision to throw out the lawsuit marks the end of the legal struggle attracting a lot of interest.<\/p>\n<p>After the announcement of the firing, the price of <strong>Dogecoin<\/strong> was mostly unchanged and gained just 0.1% in the last 24 hours. Based on CoinGecko statistics, Dogecoin was trading at $0.10 at publishing, down 20% over the previous month.<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also freely share your thoughts and comments about the topic in the comment section.
