Genesis Files Lawsuits Against DCG to Recover $3.2B in Alleged Fraudulent Transfers
Genesis Global Capital and its subsidiaries have launched twin lawsuits against parent company Digital Currency Group (DCG) and CEO Barry Silbert, alleging fraudulent transfers of cryptocurrency assets worth billions. The legal actions aim to claw back $3.2 billion in funds withdrawn during Genesis’ financial distress period.
The Delaware Court of Chancery filing targets $2.2 billion in disputed transactions, while a parallel New York bankruptcy court claim seeks over $1 billion. Court documents allege DCG leadership knowingly extracted funds from the insolvent lender to benefit insiders during the year preceding Genesis’ Chapter 11 filing.
This escalation between the crypto conglomerate’s entities signals deepening fractures in one of the industry’s most prominent institutional frameworks. The outcome could establish precedent for fiduciary responsibilities within crypto-native corporate structures.
