BlackRock Lends Money to Bankrupt Bitcoin Miner Core Scientific
On Tuesday, Cameron Winklevoss accused Barry Silbert, whose company owns Genesis, of defrauding Gemini Earn customers and called on his company’s board to remove him, deepening the acrimony between the onetime business partners. In a separate notice to Earn customers, Gemini said it terminated their loan agreements with Genesis, a move that officially ends the Earn program and requires Genesis to return all outstanding assets immediately.
In an interview on Tuesday, Cameron Winklevoss said he and his twin brother are “working around the clock to find a resolution for all Earn users.” He added that**“we believe in this space. This is a painful episode, but everybody is looking ahead.”**
Alameda’s Caroline Ellison and FTX’s Gary Wang hit with additional fraud charges
Former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried has also reportedly landed in the U.S. after being extradited from the Bahamas for fraud charges laid by the U.S. Government. The indictment against SBF is signed by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, and contains eight counts.
SBF is facing charges from the Justice Department, along with SEC and CFTC, for defrauding investors and lenders. Royal Bahamas police arrested the former crypto billionaire on Dec. 12, and his initial application for bail was denied in a Bahamian court.
