New York Attorney General Letitia James is reportedly investigating Barry Silbert’s Digital Currency Group (DCG) over its past affiliation with bankrupt crypto lender Genesis Global Capital. The investigation is focused on the $1.1 billion promissory note that Silbert says came about to assume liabilities from Genesis for the collapse of Three Arrows Capital (3AC). While federal prosecutors and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have started their investigation, it is unclear if the probe will lead to the filing of complaints. In the past, Gemini publicly accused Silbert and DCG of defaulting on a $630 million debt payment.
