Gemini sues Digital Currency Group, Barry Silbert over alleged fraud
Crypto exchange Gemini is suing Digital Currency Group and its founder Barry Silbert, with Gemini co-founder Cameron Winklevoss accusing Silbert of being “the architect and mastermind of the DCG and Genesis fraud against creditors.”
The move came after Winklevoss gave Silbert an ultimatum last week to immediately pay $640 million he says is owed to Gemini’s Earn clients or face a lawsuit.
“This lawsuit seeks to recover from Defendants the damages and losses that Gemini has incurred as a direct result of DCG’s and Silbert’s false, misleading, and incomplete representations and omissions to Gemini, and Defendants’ role in encouraging and facilitating Genesis’s fraud against Gemini,” according to the complaint.
Winklevoss has argued that Gemini Earn users are stuck in limbo with over $1.2 billion of assets stuck in Genesis Global, which DCG owns.
