DCG\u2019s filing on August 10 claimed that Winklevoss\u2019 crypto firm had failed to support the fraud alleged against the crypto conglomerate and its founder Barry Silbert. In response, Winklevoss, who serves as Gemini\u2019s president, has accused DCG and its chief of playing dumb in order to avoid responsibility.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><strong>Good Luck In Front Of A Jury: Gemini\u2019s Cameron Winklevoss<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Digital Currency Group\u2019s motion to dismiss Gemini\u2019s lawsuit highlighted that the complaint named DCG as the defendant, despite it having no direct business dealing with Cameron Winklevoss\u2019 crypto exchange. The crypto conglomerate added that Gemini\u2019s allegations pertaining to its transaction with its subsidiary, Genesis Global Capital.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silbert\u2019s firm accused the Winklevoss twins of mounting a character assassination campaign on Twitter, to deflect the blame from the stranded customers of Gemini Earn Program. DCG also called out Gemini for avoiding responsibility, having actively promoted Genesis as a \u201csophisticated market participant\u201d to its customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an X (formerly Twitter) post earlier today, Winklevoss described DCG\u2019s motion to dismiss as a brief written by a law school student making up baseless legal defenses. According to the Gemini founder, the motion was in line with Silbert\u2019s playbook of refusing to take responsibility, playing dumb, and attempting to avoid accountability using technicalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>Good luck making these arguments to a jury of your peers.
