Gemini’s Tyler Winklevoss Demands Fresh Probe Into SBF, Here’s Why

Gemini co-founder and CEO Tyler Winklevoss is calling for a probe into the drop of a controversial charge involving FTX co-founder Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF). It has been 8 months since Judge Lewis Kaplan sentenced SBF to 25 years in jail. However, to Tyler, this has not resolved some major aspects of his fraudulent reign as FTX CEO.

Tyler Winklevoss to Trump’s Attorney General

Directing his X post to the community, the Gemini CEO asked the incoming Attorney General to investigate SBF’s $100 million campaign finance breaches. Notably, the Department of Justice (DoJ) dropped these charges mid-last year, moving the SBF saga away from politics.

To Tyler Winklevoss, the public deserves to know why the charges were dropped. In addition, he said it is in the public interest to know why the funds went to fund Democrat elections. The post from the Gemini co-founder has generated a lot of reaction among crypto stakeholders.

One X user Nguyễn Minh Quân (@theUxBlockChain), highlighted how dropping charges on high profile cases can erode trust in public offices.

Public trust in the legal system takes a hit when high-profile cases involving political donations end with charges being dropped. People expect the justice system to fully investigate financial crimes, especially those that could have impacted political decisions or outcomes.

In a separate post, the Winklevoss twin hailed the nomination of Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary. Bessent aligns with crypto values and according to the Gemini CEO, he explains the Democrat war on the industry better. In Scott Bessent referenced video, he claimed the Democrats are fighting the industry to cover up the bad act from one party – SBF.

Contained Complications from SBF Role At FTX

Tyler Winklevoss’ is one of the major firms impacted, indirectly, by the FTX implosion. Over, the exchange’s bankruptcy became imminent with over $8 billion of customer’s funds lost.

In fairness attribution to the justice system, Caroline Ellison and Ryan Salame also got 2 and 7.5 years for helping to wreck the exchange. However, Gary Wang escaped prison, enjoying rare leniency like Nishad Singh.

With the exchange’s executives now sentenced, the firm has announced January as the timeline to begin the FTX reognization plan. While the entire bankruptcy plan is almost over, the last phase, the reognization plan still require one more court order.
