Die Digital Currency Group, eine Risikokapitalgesellschaft mit Fokus auf den Bereich digitaler Vermögenswerte, möchte eine Klage einer führenden Krypto-Börse, die von Tylor und Cameron Winklevoss Gemini gegründet wurde, abweisen und nennt sie eine PR-Kampagne im Namen der Handelsplattform. Andererseits warf Gemini der VC-Firma Betrug im Zusammenhang mit ihrem Earn-Programm vor.
Laut einem Dokument eingereicht to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on August 10, the lawyers representing the Digital Currency Group and its CEO, Barry Silbert, stated that the lawsuit filed in July by crypto exchange Gemini was a “continuation of [a] public relations campaign” targeting the VC firm on social media platforms via “personal, vicious, and false” claims.
Additionally, the filing by Digital Currency Group also noted the fact that Gemini seeks to recover the funds it lost due to “DCG and Silbert’s false, misleading, and incomplete representations and omissions to Gemini” and their role “in encouraging and facilitating Genesis’s fraud against Gemini.”
It is important to mention here that Gemini and Genesis, a subsidiary of the Digital Currency Group, together debuted the Gemini Earn program, where users of the crypto exchange were promised returns if they deposited their funds with Genesis. Interestingly, the DCG subsidiary decided to halt withdrawals in November 2022 due to “unprecedented market turmoil” following the multi-billion dollar collapse of crypto firm FTX. In January 2023, Genesis meldete Insolvenz an.
As per the lawyers, the Digital Currency Group and Silbert “had virtually nothing to do with the Gemini Earn program.” Moreover, they also claim that Gemini does not have substantial proof to back up its fraud claims.
“[T]he Complaint is a hodgepodge of conclusory allegations against non-defendant Genesis, all belied by the fact that Gemini has not filed these spectacular claims in the Genesis bankruptcy,” said the filing.
