Judge Clears Elon Musk of $258 Billion Dogecoin Manipulation Lawsuit

Image
On August 29, 2024, U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein dismissed a significant lawsuit against Elon Musk and his company, Tesla , which alleged market manipulation of Dogecoin (DOGE) . The lawsuit, initiated by a group of disgruntled investors in June 2022, claimed that Musk and Tesla artificially inflated the cryptocurrency’s price, resulting in a staggering $258 billion in damages. The court ruling dismissed these claims, stating they were based on non-factual statements. Court’s Decision Judge Hellerstein’s ruling characterised Musk’s statements about Dogecoin as “aspirational and puffery” rather than actionable claims. In his decision, Hellerstein emphasised that “no reasonable investor could rely upon” Musk’s social media posts or public declarations as a basis for making investment decisions. The judge specifically cited Musk’s assertions about becoming the “official CEO of Dogecoin” and placing a “literal Dogecoin” on a SpaceX rocket as examples...

There are hundreds of Bitcoin ‘layer 2s’

Unbeknownst to most of the Bitcoin community, there are apparently 400 ‘layer 2s’ operating on the blockchain. That ballpark estimate comes from Shehzan, founder of Lava, a loan platform that uses Bitcoin, Solana, and stablecoins. Speaking on the August 25 edition of the YouTube-based Gwart Show , Shehzan, along with Gwart and fellow commentator Shinobi, called into question the benefit of these hundreds of roll-ups and alternative blockchains that use Bitcoin’s ledger. Some estimates place the number at a much lower 80 or 85, while others exceed 1,000. Estimates vary to such an extent because anyone can ‘roll-up’ data and broadcast a tiny hash to any miner, which technically creates a ‘Bitcoin layer 2.’ Indeed, many are simple clones of Ethereum roll-ups, processing substantially all activities on a centralized server outside of the Bitcoin network and broadcasting a periodic hash of that state into Bitcoin blocks. Moreover, they’re easy to create . Indeed, one d...
