2023-04-25 20:48:22 Genesis Files for Mediator Assistance Over Amount of DCG Contribution to Reorganization

The move comes months after an initial agreement was reached between Genesis' creditors and its owner, DCG.
Crypto lender Genesis Global asked a court to appoint a mediator for its bankruptcy proceedings, court documents show. Digital Currency Group (DCG), Genesis' owner, said the move reflects the decision of a group of creditors to walk away from a preliminary agreement reached earlier this year.
Genesis said in a filing at the federal bankruptcy court for the Southern District of New York on Monday that it's seeking a mediator over "the amount, form, timing and other terms and conditions of DCG’s contribution to the debtors’ reorganization plan." DCG is also the parent company of CoinDesk.

2023-04-21 20:29:03 Spreading misinformation about Changpeng Zhao 'was the norm' for SBF, says Binance CSO

Former FTX chief executive officer Sam Bankman-Fried used Twitter and other means to spread "fake rumors" about Binance chief executive officer Changpeng Zhao, according to Patrick Hillmann.
In an April 21 Twitter thread, Hillmann — the chief strategy officer at Binance — said Bankman-Fried used his influence to label CZ as an 'evil Chinese' through “fake rumors” to perpetuate his alleged scams at FTX. Prior to and following FTX filing for bankruptcy in November 2022, SBF and CZ’s public relationship was often antagonistic though the two exchanges had financial ties.
“Sam denigrating CZ was the norm for us,” said Hillman. “Had nothing to do with deciding to sell the worthless FTT on the company's books.”
