Gemini, the cryptocurrency exchange founded by Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, has filed a lawsuit against Digital Currency Group (DCG) and its founder Barry Silbert in a New York court on July 7.
The company is seeking to recover the damages and losses incurred due to DCG’s and Silbert’s alleged “false, misleading, and incomplete” representations and “omissions” to Gemini, which “encouraged and facilitated” Genesis’s fraud against the firm.
