Genesis Global Agrees to Historic $2B Settlement to Repay Defrauded Crypto Investors
  • Genesis Global agrees to a $2 billion settlement following its Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in January 2023.

  • The bankruptcy was triggered by the collapse of FTX, resulting in over $1 billion in losses for victims of the Gemini Earn program.

  • New York Attorney General Letitia James announced the settlement, the largest ever against a crypto firm in the state.

  • A victims fund will be created to aid the 29,000 affected investors, with refunds starting in May.

  • Dollar creditors will receive full refunds first.

  • Genesis is barred from operating in New York.

  • Gemini expressed gratitude to the judge and clarified that the ruling does not affect their overall agreement with Genesis and other creditors.
