Gemini's Winklevoss: Bold Move with $1.47 Billion Final Offer to DCG

Alt headlines – Gemini Cameron Winklevoss Bets Big with $1.47 Billion Final Bid for DCG

Following extensive negotiations, Cameron Winklevoss, one of the co-founders of Gemini exchange, reached a point where he felt compelled to take action. Today, he resorted to Twitter to publicly disclose his “final offer” in the ongoing discussions concerning the restructuring of Genesis, a digital asset firm currently facing bankruptcy.

Winklevoss’s communication indicated that Barry Silbert, the founder of Digital Currency Group [DCG], will have to pay up a significant debt of $1.46 billion. Failure to address this debt could result in potential legal ramifications. In an open letter, the Gemini co-founder emphasized that there is no room for further delays or negotiations.

In a court filing submitted in Jan. 2023, Genesis disclosed a list of claims totaling over $3 billion owed to its top 50 creditors. Winklevoss stated that a significant portion of this amount, approximately $1.2 billion, is owed to Earn users.

As seen in the above image, Winklevoss insisted that DCG fulfill payment obligations amounting to $1.465 billion. This encompasses the outstanding $630 million payment due in May. He wrote,

“I write to inform you that your games are over. In addition to dragging out a resolution, they have ballooned professional fees to over $100 million, all of which have gone to lawyers and advisors at the expense of creditors and Earn users.”

Gemini’s Winklevoss issues deadlines

As part of the proposal, a payment of $275 million is required to be made by July 21. In the event that Silbert does not agree to the proposed deal by 4 p.m. Eastern Time on July 6, Gemini intends to take legal action by filing a lawsuit against both DCG and Silbert on July 7.

The Gemini co-founder further added,

“This proposal is fair and reasonable for everyone and represents the floor that creditors, who are required to support a deal, will accept.”

Several in the community pointed out that DCG is unlikely to meet the July 7 deadline. However, a few others noted that the latest deadline “seems like a tight window.”
