The Winklevii Are the Latest Crypto Founders to Blame Everybody But Themselves

Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss don’t seem to be having much fun. After several truly glorious years when the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed, their celebrity soared thanks to an amazing riches-to-riches story, and they got to play sick covers of Don’t Stop Believing to fans who were totally there for the music and not the free NFTs, the Winklevii are coping with falling crypto prices, pissed off customers and a sense that maybe they should’ve stopped believing after all.

In response, they’ve lashed out at Barry Silbert, a fellow digital currency mogul and former business partner, as well as the Securities and Exchange Commission, which sued their company, Gemini Trust Co., for securities fraud at the end of last week (along with Silbert’s Genesis Global Capital).
