Digital Currency Group (DCG) filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit brought against it by New York Attorney General Letitia James. Barry Silbert, the group’s founder and CEO, followed suit with a motion to discard accusations of concealing losses within the company and its subsidiary, Genesis Global Capital.
These legal actions stem from allegations tied to the fallout of prominent crypto entities Three Arrows Capital and FTX, implicating financial mismanagement affecting investors to the tune of $3 billion
A Firm Stance Against Allegations
DCG’s official response firmly denies the allegations, describing them as “a fragile network of unfounded insinuations, clear distortions, and baseless assertions. This firm rebuttal comes after a controversial settlement proposal from Genesis to the NYAG, which DCG notably opposed last month.
The ongoing legal battle underscores a clash between regulatory bodies and crypto enterprises, spotlighting the dynamics at play within the industry. A DCG spokesperson said “The allegations are inaccurate throughout the complaint and they are often outright false,”
As the situation unfolds, DCG and Silbert stand firm in their defence, signalling a contentious path ahead in the courtroom. Their actions not only challenge the specific accusations but also set a precedent for how crypto-related disputes might be navigated legally moving forward.
