Digital Currency Group, una compañía de capital de riesgo que se enfoca en el sector de activos digitales, busca desestimar una demanda presentada por un importante intercambio de criptomonedas fundado por Tylor y Cameron Winklevoss Gemini, calificándola de campaña de relaciones públicas en nombre de la plataforma comercial. Por otro lado, Gemini acusó a la firma VC de fraude en relación con su programa Earn.
Según un documento enviado 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, Génesis se declaró en bancarrota.
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.
Por otro lado, el intercambio de criptomonedas Gemini también se enfrenta a una escasez de capital y recientemente recibió un préstamo personal de $100 millones de sus cofundadores, los gemelos Winklevoss.
