Genesis is facing challenges as it tries to complete its liquidation after filing for bankruptcy in January and is now accused of election “manipulation” by Gemini and other creditors. Creditors of Genesis Global Capital (GGC) bankrupt crypto lender have criticized a proposed $175 million settlement aimed at “manipulating” the ledger process, with accusations of buying votes to “manipulate” the bankruptcy process. Thursday’s submissions are another headache for Genesis; because the company hopes to end their business and begin refunding old customers. After filing for bankruptcy in January, GGC appears to have struggled for a long time over how to handle the more than $1 billion lent by its parent company, Digital Currency Group (DCG), and the final settlement has not satisfied other creditors. DCG is also the parent company of CoinDesk. Further legal settlements by the two insolvent companies in mid-August allow FTX to claim $175 million in Alameda Research’s Genesis asset - which is a significant drawdown for FTX, which originally claimed $4 billion - but other creditors not happy about it either. “The settlement that Genesis has proposed with FTX is an attempt to manipulate the plan voting process… It’s a pre-foreground deal,” said in a Thursday night statement by crypto exchange Gemini, which owes Genesis $766 million, the proposal “cannot be taken to its face.” ” is added. Because bankruptcy plans are voted on by creditors in proportion to their claims, creditors accuse Genesis of filling the ballot box with votes. “[Genesis] entered the Proposed Settlement and sought to bolster this agreement with the aim of buying the votes and the votes of the FTX Borrowers,” said a Thursday statement by a group of creditors calling itself the Fair Deal Group. “This is, of course, a distortion of the Chapter 11 process.” A Genesis spokesperson did not immediately respond to CoinDesk’s request for comment. Genesis’ lawyers previously said the FTX deal would “significantly flatten” the company to restructure it without the cost of lengthy litigation. Another group of “ad hoc” creditors said FTX’s attempt to reclaim loans from a “criminal organization” was “unscrupulous”, adding that FTX’s strategy to claim billions of dollars against Genesis was “just to see something stuck.” . The ad hoc group did not disclose their affiliation, but said previously its members were owed a total of $2.4 billion by the GGC, making up the majority of each class of credit. Gemini and other creditors have previously opposed the DCG deal and said Genesis should be stripped of their right to have the monopoly to propose a liquidation plan. In July, Gemini sued DCG over allegations it described as “fraud” perpetrated by Genesis; DCG described the allegations as “malicious” and “a promotional gimmick”, respectively.
