Brian Quintenz Reveals Text Exchanges with Winklevoss Brothers, Sparking Controversy Ahead of Gemini IPO

In a move that has intensified scrutiny around Brian Quintenz’s nomination for the CFTC chair, the nominee recently released text messages exchanging information with the Winklevoss brothers. These messages reveal allegations of pressure to favor Gemini before their anticipated IPO. While Quintenz asserts he refused such pressures and shared these texts to prevent misinformation, it is alleged that the Winklevoss brothers then contacted the White House to impede his confirmation process.
