The fallout from the Three Arrows Capital default drove a wedge between Gemini co-founder Cameron Winklevoss and Digital Currency Group CEO Barry Silbert. Winklevoss has publicly slammed the DCG CEO on several occasions, accusing him of fraud and an inability to run the corporate conglomerate, which is the parent company of Grayscale, Foundry, Luno and Genesis.Genesis settles with the Securities and Exchange Commission
