Major Cryptocurrency Lawsuit Resolved with $50 Million Settlement
In a recent development, Gemini, a cryptocurrency exchange, has agreed to pay $50 million to settle a significant fraud case in New York.
The New York Attorney General, Letitia James, announced today that the state will recover $50 million as part of a settlement with Gemini. The recovered funds will be returned to customers of Gemini Earn who were involved in a multi-firm bankruptcy process.
Gemini has also agreed to assist in a $3 billion fraud lawsuit against former partners Digital Currency Group (DCG), DCG founder and chairman Barry Silbert, and former chairman of Genesis, Soichiro “Michael” Moro.
The lawsuit, originally filed against Gemini in October by New York, accused the exchange of deceiving investors about its Gemini Earn product, which involved former partners DCG and Genesis.
Although the funds of Earn customers have been returned, the ongoing dispute between Gemini founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and DCG’s Silbert continues. The lawsuit, amended in February, claims that the group defrauded investors of over $3 billion. Internal documents at Gemini suggested that the exchange was aware of the high risk posed by Genesis Capital. Cameron Winklevoss has been vocal in criticizing the former partners, frequently sending letters of disapproval and calling for Silbert’s removal from DCG.
