Winklevoss Brother Calls Gary Gensler Evil Amid Stern Attack, Here’s Why

In a notably strong public statement, Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss has launched a scathing attack against SEC Chairman Gary Gensler through a series of posts on the X platform. 

The cryptocurrency executive began his criticism with an unequivocal declaration of Gensler as “evil,” emphasizing that he should be permanently barred from holding positions of influence or power. 

Winklevoss’s statement went further to call for an aggressive boycott of any organization, company, or university that might work with Gensler after his tenure at the SEC, presenting this as a necessary measure to prevent future misuse of governmental authority.

Detailed Accusations and Reasoning

Winklevoss’s criticism delved deeper into specific accusations against Gensler’s conduct, asserting that his actions cannot be dismissed as well-intentioned mistakes. 

The Gemini co-founder characterized Gensler’s behavior as calculated and deliberate, aimed at pursuing a personal political agenda regardless of the consequences. 

According to Winklevoss, this agenda has resulted in significant damage to the cryptocurrency industry, including the destruction of thousands of jobs, substantial investment capital, and numerous livelihoods. 

He notably claimed that Gensler’s “sociopathic ambitions” ultimately proved detrimental to his own political party’s interests.

Call for Accountability and Future Prevention

The criticism extended beyond personal attacks to address broader systemic issues. Winklevoss emphasized that no apology could sufficiently address the damage inflicted upon both the cryptocurrency industry and the country as a whole. 

He expressed particular concern about the misuse of taxpayer dollars, arguing that government resources meant for public protection were instead being wielded against citizens to advance personal political careers. 

The Gemini co-founder insisted on the necessity of preventing such individuals from holding institutional positions of any scale.

Context of Industry-Wide Opposition

This latest criticism from Winklevoss aligns with a broader pattern of cryptocurrency industry leaders speaking out against Gensler’s leadership. 

Notably, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has also publicly criticized both Gensler and Senator Elizabeth Warren, accusing them of attempting to “unlawfully” suppress the U.S. cryptocurrency industry. 

Armstrong specifically pointed to Gensler’s appointment, which was supported by Warren, as part of what he sees as a coordinated effort to “kill the crypto industry in America.” 

This growing chorus of criticism from industry leaders suggests a unified opposition to the current regulatory approach under Gensler’s leadership at the SEC.
