Be careful in choosing your lunch companions. Crypto giant Digital Currency Group says Gemini’s Cameron Winklevoss and his twin brother used a lunch with CEO Barry Silbert as a pretext to contrive a “Twitter-based character assassination campaign” against Silbert and his company that was “personal, vicious and false.”
This is according to a motion to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Gemini in July that claims DCG is to blame for the ongoing mess over Earn, a high-yield crypto-lending program. The Gemini-run program went south after its business partner, DCG subsidiary Genesis, froze the accounts of thousands of Earn customers before filing for bankruptcy in January.
