The newly unopened court documents from the bankruptcy crypt of Genesis claim that executives in their parent company, Digital Currency Group (DCG), consciously ignored the warning signals of the fragile state of creditor while preparing for legal Friday.
Unredited complaint, submitted The Delaware Court of Chancery and publicly released by the Genesis (LOC) Committee (LOC) contains the internal notes of AE -Mails, which state that DCG leadership fears that Genesis could legally be considered “alter ego”.
DCG ignored the red flags in obtaining the value of insolvent Genesis, a statement claim
According to submissionDCG CFO Michael Kraines raised an alarm in the 2022 memorandum.
He represented the scenario of “war players”, where creditors could pierce the corporate veil and DCG responsibility. In the note Kraines wrote: “Genesis is a puppet of DCG. He is 100% owned and dominated by DCG and does what DCG says to do it.”
He added that such a control together with subchaptering could cause legal steps from “Deep Pocket creditors”.
The Committee claims that this predictage has not been remedial. Instead, internal documents reveal how DCG and its CEO Barry Silbert allegedly considered Genesis a source of funds and called it “de facto treasury”.
The complaint accuses DCG of extraction of the value of Genesis through dedicated loans and risky trades, even if the creditor has carried to insolvency.
“Silbert and its initiates used Genesis for their own benefit,” said Philippe Selendy, a counselor for LOC. “DCG and Genesis internal documents now provide more details than ever.”
The administration shows more warning signals. Genesis’s loans have tripled, while according to internal reports the company lacked proper risk control. Its external auditor was described by the “weakness of the material” as early as 2020.
DCG reportedly created a risk committee, but delayed its first meeting for nine months. Kraines later joked that the delay “had just facilitated his future deposition”.
Genesis’s initiates also described the “Culture of Subordination” who claimed that they were under pressure to serve the interests of DCGs. In one internal report of 2022, the employee wrote that Genesis was “leaning” so that DCG could “borrow while they could get cash.”
The complaint further claims that Genesis has stated the public after the collapse of three capital arrows. Employees were instructed to follow pre -approved scripts and Silbert himself amplified He claims on social media This genesis remained stable.
The Committee also challenges two transactions as fraudulent. These include the issue of the exchange of 30 June 2022 and the return agreement in September, both marked as an effort to camouflage the financial distress of Genesis.
Genesis is now trying to get back more than $ 3.3 billion from DCG, Silbert and others.
Loc, created to represent the creditor of Genesis, said that the complaint reveals the “intentional scheme” that he left behind the customers while the initiates extracted value.
“This is not just technical disputes over intermediate accounting,” Loc said. “The level of coordination, secrecy and heartlessness is nothing that is breathtaking.”
