Genesis Slams DCG and Barry Silbert With $3.3B Legal Bombshell
Crypto’s latest courtroom drama just went nuclear. Genesis—the bankrupt lender left holding the bag after last year’s crypto carnage—just filed a $3.3 billion lawsuit against Digital Currency Group and its CEO Barry Silbert. Talk about turning the tables.
The lawsuit alleges DCG engaged in ’fraudulent transfers’ and ’improper financing arrangements’ while Genesis bled out. Silbert’s empire reportedly funneled funds between subsidiaries like a shell game—until the music stopped.
This comes after Genesis coughed up $21 million to settle SEC charges earlier this year. Apparently bankruptcy lawyers work faster than regulators—who saw that coming?
DCG’s response? The usual corporate kabuki: ’We dispute these claims and will vigorously defend ourselves.’ Meanwhile, creditors are left wondering if they’ll ever see a dime—or if this is just more legal theater to justify those $1,500/hour attorney fees.
