Gemini CEO Cameron Winklevoss has published another open letter on Twitter, addressed to the board members of Digital Currency Group (DCG). In the letter, Winklevoss accuses DCG and CEO Barry Silbert of making poor decisions with the now-defunct crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC), and claims that DCG orchestrated a “campaign of lies” in order to deceive Gemini and Earn users into thinking everything was fine. Winklevoss is demanding that the DCG board remove Silbert from his role as CEO, as Gemini believes “there is no path forward” with Silbert in charge.
Gemini and Digital Currency Group Dispute Continues With Another Open Letter
About a week ago, Bitcoin.com News reported on an open letter from Cameron Winklevoss, co-founder of the Gemini crypto exchange, to Digital Currency Group (DCG) CEO Barry Silbert. In the letter, Winklevoss called on Silbert to address liquidity issues between Gemini and DCG subsidiary firm Genesis Global Capital.

It’s unclear whether DCG or Silbert made any attempts to resolve the issue with Gemini, but the open letter sent to DCG’s board suggests that no agreements were reached during that time frame.

In the open letter to the board members of DCG, Winklevoss alleges that Genesis loaned $2.36 billion to the now-bankrupt crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC). According to Winklevoss, after the funds were reportedly liquidated, “Genesis was left with a loss of at least $1.2 billion.” “At this point, Barry Silbert had two legitimate options: restructure the Genesis loan book (inside or outside of bankruptcy court) or fill the $1.2 billion hole,” Winklevoss opined. “He did neither.” The Gemini co-founder claims that DCG and Genesis actively made “false statements and misrepresentations” regarding the…
