Odaily News For months, Digital Currency Group Inc. (DCG) and its CEO Barry Silbert have been facing fraud accusations from crypto trading platform Gemini Trust Co. co-founder Cameron Winklevoss. Although they deny the allegations, federal officials are delving into the internal financial dealings of DCG and its subsidiary Genesis Global Capital. Brooklyn prosecutors, FBI agents and SEC staff have interviewed Winklevoss in recent months to discuss his allegations, according to people familiar with the matter. The U.S. Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of New York specifically inquired about Silberts behavior, people familiar with the matter said. It is important to note that investigations by U.S. attorneys, the FBI or the SEC do not always result in charges or enforcement actions. All three parties have declined to comment. (Bloomberg)
