Winklevoss and Gemini threatens to sue DCG
On Monday, Cameron Winklevoss issued an ultimatum to Barry Silbert in a public letter shared on Twitter, cautioning him of potential legal action against both Silbert and his company, Digital Currency Group, if they fail to reach an agreement by 4 pm ET on July 6.
The proposed settlement from Winklevoss entails a cumulative payment of $1.465 billion. This amount is expected to come from the insolvent lending division of DCG, Genesis, and will be paid in installments at varying times, including a forbearance payment due on July 21. The payments will be made in BTC, ETH, and U.S. dollars.
In the letter, Winklevoss stated explicitly, "I want to make it clear that your time of playing games has ended. Not only have you prolonged the settlement, but you have also escalated professional fees to over $100 million, which has been paid to lawyers and consultants at the cost of creditors and users of Earn."
