Grupo de moeda digital busca arquivar ação judicial da Gemini: detalhes
- O Digital Currency Group busca arquivar o processo movido pela exchange de criptomoedas Gemini em julho de 2023.
- O processo acusou a empresa de capital de risco, seu CEO Barry Silbert e sua subsidiária Genesis de fraude.
- Lawyers claim that the lawsuit is a “continuation of [a] public relations campaign” targeting DCG on social media.
- Digital Currency Group and Silbert “had virtually nothing to do with the Gemini Earn program,” read the filing.
O Digital Currency Group, uma empresa de capital de risco com foco no setor de ativos digitais, busca rejeitar uma ação movida por uma importante bolsa de criptomoedas fundada por Tylor e Cameron Winklevoss Gemini, chamando-a de campanha de relações públicas em nome da plataforma de negociação. Por outro lado, a Gemini acusou a empresa de VC de fraude em relação ao seu programa Earn.
De acordo com um documento submetido 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 entrou com pedido de falência.
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 outro lado, a exchange cripto Gemini também está enfrentando uma escassez de capital e recentemente recebeu um empréstimo pessoal de $100 milhões de seus co-fundadores, os gêmeos Winklevoss.
