Furthermore, the company claims that DCG borrowed a substantial amount of Bitcoin (BTC) from the company instead of providing much-needed capital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gemini also highlights that DCG is now unwilling to repay the more than $630 million it borrowed from the company, which was due several months ago in May.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In response, as <\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/news\/dcg-and-gemini-ink-a-plan-users-to-receive-all-their-crypto\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">reported <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">by NewsBTC, DCG has proposed a deal that would require Genesis creditors, including Gemini, to extend years of credit to DCG. However, Gemini intends to fight against this proposal, asserting that DCG should pay creditors a just and adequate amount.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gemini argues that DCG has attempted to \u201cwear down\u201d creditors over the past ten months, hoping they would settle for a significant reduction in the amount owed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the court filing, Gemini is determined not to succumb to these tactics and will continue to pursue a fair resolution.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Rejection Of DCG\u2019s Proposed Recovery Rates<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the filing, Gemini criticizes DCG\u2019s proposed recovery rates, claiming they are \u201cmisleading and deceptive.\u201d The company argues that receiving fractional shares of interest and principal payments over seven years from a risky counterparty is not equivalent to receiving the actual cash and digital assets owned by Genesis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gemini demands that DCG significantly improve the terms of the loans it provides if it wishes to gain the support of the harmed individuals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Overall, Gemini accuses DCG of being the architect of its subsidiary\u2019s insolvency and \u201csacrificing\u201d the exchange and its creditors to shield itself from liability.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The company founded by the Winklevoss twins asserts that DCG\u2019s delay tactics have hindered progress in distributing funds to Gemini Lenders, despite Gemini\u2019s offer of a $100 million premium for a swift resolution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is worth noting that the court filing by Gemini comes after months of negotiations with the crypto lender and DCG and the collapse of the Gemini Earn program, which resulted in lawsuits and severed ties between Digital Currency Group and the crypto exchange.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1814px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">BTC\u2019s consolidation is above the $26,000 mark on the daily chart.
