President Trump's CFTC chair nominee Brian Quintenz alleged that Tyler Winklevoss<\/a> attempted to derail his confirmation after Quintenz refused to promise favorable treatment regarding the exchange's past litigation with the commission.<\/p>\n

According to private text messages released by Quintenz on Sept. 10<\/a>, Winklevoss shared Gemini's<\/a> 13-page complaint against the CFTC Inspector General in a July 2025 exchange.<\/p>\n

He claimed the agency pursued “dubious false statements charges” and “selectively and unfairly weaponized” enforcement against the company.<\/p>\n

Winklevoss described seven years of “lawfare trophy hunting” by the commission in the leaked messages.<\/p>\n

Transparency claims<\/h2>\n

Winklevoss questioned why the CFTC sued Gemini rather than “parties that defrauded us of $10mil” or CBOE<\/a>. He also questioned why the commission continued pursuing Gemini “after it knew its investigation was started based on a false whistleblower.”<\/p>\n

Quintenz consistently refused to make specific commitments, stating that “any decision or response to your complaint should be made by and given the full weight of the confirmed chair.”<\/p>\n

He committed only to addressing matters “fully and fairly if and when I am confirmed,” while emphasizing the importance of proper process.<\/p>\n

Winklevoss then expressed disappointment that Quintenz hadn't reviewed their complaint despite previous discussions.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the Gemini co-founder stressed that “cultural reform, which includes rectifying what happened to us, should be the highest priority” and urged Quintenz to align with President Donald Trump's<\/a> mandate to end regulatory warfare.<\/p>\n

Quintenz explained his approach of waiting for confirmation before forming judgments. He added that he decided “to wait until I can get into the role to get that view as opposed to trying to get it now through current leadership.”<\/p>\n

He described having “a very poor experience with that on every important issue or decision so far” when dealing with existing commission staff.<\/p>\n

The message release comes two days before Gemini's planned IPO on Sept. 12<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Quintenz claimed that Winklevoss contacted Trump in an effort to pause his confirmation for undisclosed reasons following their exchange.<\/p>\n

He added that he disclosed the discussions with Winklevoss to protect the President from misinformation and demonstrate his commitment to transparency over personal advancement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
