🚀 Musk and Tesla win: $258 billion Dogecoin manipulation case dismissed

😎 Elon Musk and Tesla won a lawsuit on August 29 over a $258 billion Dogecoin cryptocurrency.

🔍 The case accuses Musk of using celebrity and social media to influence the Dogecoin market, including his mention of Dogecoin on NBC Radio's popular TV show "Saturday Night Live," intentionally driving Dogecoin price fluctuations.

🤑 The lawsuit was reportedly filed by Keith Johnson and a group of investors who believe that Musk and Tesla touted Dogecoin as a legitimate investment while manipulating the market behind the scenes. The plaintiffs said that Musk's actions caused the price of Dogecoin to soar and then plummet, causing them to lose a lot of money.

👨‍⚖️ However, Alvin Hellerstein, the judge in charge of the case, believes that the plaintiffs do not have enough evidence to prove that Musk and Tesla actually manipulated the market. The judge said in the ruling that they could not see how the plaintiffs concluded that Musk and Tesla had engaged in market manipulation, a scheme to pump up the stock price, a breach of fiduciary duty (constituting insider trading), or a violation of state law.

🐶 Although the case was dismissed, Musk has always had a great influence on Dogecoin. He calls himself the "Father of Doge" and often talks about Dogecoin on Twitter, and these remarks often cause the price of Dogecoin to fluctuate greatly.

📈 For example, last Tuesday, Musk sent a tweet with a picture humorously mentioning the "DOGE Government Efficiency Department", and the price of Dogecoin suddenly rose by 6%. Although his words sounded lighthearted, his influence on the Dogecoin market is obvious to all.

📊 After the case was decided, the price of Dogecoin also rose slightly, from $0.098 to $0.1005. Analysts say that Dogecoin may still be in the accumulation stage, and if more people continue to buy, it may lay the foundation for a sharp rise in price. On the contrary, if market sentiment deteriorates and Dogecoin falls below $0.098 on the daily chart, its stagnation period may be extended.

Binance has taken strong measures to rectify the market order and investigate insider trading and market manipulation.

Recently, Binance cryptocurrency exchange has investigated and dealt with two major violations in succession, aiming to effectively protect users from malicious market behavior and showing its determination and attitude to clean up the trading environment.

According to the official announcement, an employee working in the business development department of BNB Chain has been suspended and faces disciplinary review for taking advantage of his position to obtain insider information about the listing of tokens, building positions in advance through multiple wallet addresses, and selling them for profit after the listing of TGE tokens.

Binance emphasizes that it has a zero-tolerance attitude towards such behavior, is improving its internal control mechanism, and has established a $100,000 reward program for reporting. Currently, four whistleblowers have received rewards for providing effective clues.  

Another case is the manipulation of market makers handled by Binance. The market maker sold 66 million tokens by artificially creating selling pressure on the second day of the listing of MOVE tokens (December 10, 2024), and made a profit of about $38 million.

After investigation and confirmation, Binance took prompt action to freeze the funds in the account involved and permanently kicked the market maker off the trading platform.

At the same time, Binance and Movement Labs jointly launched a compensation plan, which will use the recovered $38 million to repurchase MOVE tokens on Binance in the next three months to compensate affected users.

In summary, these measures reflect the attitude and determination of the leading exchanges to market supervision. At the same time, through technical monitoring and reporting mechanisms, Binance is committed to creating a more standardized trading environment in the rapidly expanding cryptocurrency field.

However, industry experts remind that in order to eradicate such misconduct, the entire industry needs to gradually improve information disclosure, market maker supervision and other aspects to build a more sound regulatory system and industry standards.

🚫Gotbit founder extradited to the United States for wire fraud, may face 20 years in prison!

Something big has happened in the cryptocurrency circle recently! 26-year-old Russian citizen Gotbit founder Aleksei Andriunin was recently extradited to the United States by Portugal, facing serious charges of market manipulation and wire fraud. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison and a huge fine!

Andriunin is accused of artificially inflating token trading volume through fake transactions between 2018 and 2024 to help clients obtain listing qualifications on platforms such as CoinMarketCap.

This operation is called "wash trading", which artificially creates trading volume to push up token prices, ultimately bringing millions of dollars in revenue to clients, and he himself has received tens of millions of dollars in compensation.

It is reported that Andriunin was arrested in Portugal in October 2024, extradited to the United States on February 25, 2025, and appeared in Boston Court for the first time on the 26th. He is currently detained. Two of its directors, Kedrov and Jalili, were also prosecuted.

The case reveals the harmfulness of manipulation in the crypto market, because "wash trading" not only disrupts the market order, but also causes losses to investors. Similar cases are not uncommon. For example, Tron founder Justin Sun was also accused of market manipulation.

With the rapid development of the cryptocurrency market, authorities and law enforcement agencies in various countries are stepping up their crackdown on market manipulation. For example, Spanish law enforcement agencies recently cooperated with Tron, Tether and TRM Labs to carry out operations against international financial crypto crimes.

Although the cryptocurrency market is very tempting, everyone should be careful not to be blinded by false trading volume and so-called "hot" tokens. I hope this incident will make more people aware of the risks of the market and make regulators pay more attention to protecting the interests of investors.

In short, the Gotbit incident sounded the alarm for us. The cryptocurrency market is not a lawless place, and any market manipulation will eventually be sanctioned by law!

💬 What is your opinion on Gotbit's market manipulation case? Faced with the repeated manipulation of the cryptocurrency market, how can investors effectively identify it? See you in the comments section!

🚨 FBI creates crypto company for "fishing enforcement", and many cryptocurrency companies are "hit"!

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) created its own cryptocurrency company NexFundAI and launched an extensive investigation into the cryptocurrency market, revealing large-scale fraud and market manipulation.

This action led to three cryptocurrency companies, Gotbit, ZM Quant and CLS Global, and 15 individuals being charged with fraud and market manipulation.

According to reports, in this investigation, the FBI took unprecedented measures to identify, disrupt and bring suspected scammers to justice by creating its own cryptocurrency tokens and companies.

At the same time, in this operation, four defendants have pleaded guilty and more than $25 million in cryptocurrency has been seized. Several trading robots were shut down, and these robots were responsible for about 60 cryptocurrencies and millions of dollars in wash sales.

Following closely, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) also filed a civil lawsuit against the related behavior. These companies include Saitama, whose market value once soared to $7.5 billion, mainly because its leadership manipulated its tokens.

The FBI investigation and the SEC lawsuit revealed that there are still a lot of fraud risks in the cryptocurrency market and warned investors to be vigilant when investing in such assets. At the same time, these actions also show the determination and ability of regulators to crack down on illegal activities in the cryptocurrency field.

💬 What do you think of the FBI's use of "fishing enforcement" to expose cryptocurrency fraud? Do you think this action will help improve market trust? When investing in cryptocurrency, what measures will you take to prevent fraud risks?
