DCG Files Motion to Dismiss Gemini Lawsuit
DCG, the parent company of CoinDesk, has filed a motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by crypto exchange Gemini. The lawsuit, filed in July, alleges that DCG and its founder, Barry Silbert, committed fraud through DCG’s Genesis subsidiary. Gemini claims that DCG and Silbert misrepresented the financial health of Genesis, causing customers to continue in the lending program despite Genesis’s financial troubles. In response, DCG argues that Gemini has not supported its fraud claims and that the lawsuit is a continuation of a “public relations campaign” by Gemini’s owners, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. Gemini has not commented on the filing.
