Winkelvoss twins’ crypto exchange faces lawsuit over $36 million theft (updated)
The Winklevoss twins might soon head to court. The Vergenotes retirement savings firm IRA Financial Trust has sued the twins’ crypto exchange Gemini over allegations the business didn’t adequately protect customers against a February 8th breach where intruders stole $36 million in Bitcoin and Ethereum assets. The company didn’t have “proper safeguards” to prevent the theft, according to IRA, and didn’t freeze accounts quickly enough to block the thieves from transferring money.
The trust firm specifically rejected claims that Gemini’s protections prevented a “single point of failure.” Gemini made IRA the parent account for its customers (who use sub-accounts), and gave it a “master key” that was reportedly exchanged in numerous insecure emails. Combine that with security flaws in Gemini’s system and you probably know what happened next — hackers got control of IRA’s key, moved the crypto into a single user’s retirement account, and withdrew the digital cash. The perpetrators also appear to have swatted Gemini during the February incident, making a fake kidnapping call to police.
Gemini’s other security measures didn’t hold up, the IRA added. It supposedly shouldn’t have been possible to transfer money between accounts if the exchange had either properly implemented two-factor authentication or prohibited transfers between retirement funds. The trust noted that it didn’t have the power to freeze accounts itself, and that it took six emails to lock down all affected users. We’ve asked Gemini for comment.
This adds to mounting problems for the Winkelvoss’ outfit. It recently laid off 10 percent of staff to deal with a plunge in the cryptocurrency market, and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission sued Gemini for purportedly misleading customers in parts of its exchange and futures contract. While none of these problems may necessarily be fatal, they suggest the Winklevii could face financial trouble for a while to come.
Update 6/8 9:08AM ET: Gemini told Engadget in a statement that it “reject[s]” the allegations, and that the attackers targeted IRA rather than the exchange. It claimed that no Gemini systems were compromised, and that it “acted quickly” to help IRA following the breach.

BioWare’s quality assurance testers form the first video game labor union in Canada
Bioware’s quality assurance testers working on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf have voted to form the first unionized workplace for the video game industry in Canada. The United Food and Commercial Workers Local 401 applied to become the certified bargaining agent for Keywords Studios, the contracting company through which the testers are employed, back in April. Now, Kotaku says the election has resulted in a 16-0 vote in favor of unionization. Before working on the fourth major game in the Dragon Age franchise, they also supported the development of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition and Legacy of the Sith, an expansion for Star Wars: The Old Republic.
The testers, who work out of BioWare’s Edmonton office, started organizing after Keywords Studios announced that they’ll be required to return to office, whereas direct BioWare employees were give more options. Keywords took back its return-to-office order, but the testers told Kotaku that they’re working to prevent it from being reinstated and to get the company to increase their pay. At the moment, their base pay is around US$13 an hour, roughly equivalent to the area’s minimum wage. They argued that the amount they’re being paid isn’t commensurate with the skills needed for the job and that BioWare employees doing the same work are being paid a lot more.
The union that’s now representing the workers are expected to bargain with the studio’s bosses sometime this week. In an email the QA testers sent out, they wrote: “We are excited to move into bargaining with the employer and start towards a more equitable working situation.”
In the US, QA workers at Activision Blizzard studio Raven Software voted to unionize last month. That came after they went on strike following layoffs that affected 12 testers and after the studio split the remaining workers among various departments, perhaps in an effort to make unionization efforts hard to organize. Xbox head Phil Spencer announced that Microsoft will recognize the union after the tech giant’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard is complete.

Texas AG investigates Twitter over bot counts
Texas’s Attorney General, Ken Paxton, has launched an investigation of Twitter over concerns of “potentially false” reports related to the number of bots and other fake accounts on the social network. In a press release Monday, Paxton claims inauthentic accounts may be helping to “inflate the value” of Twitter — thus he intends to pursue the investigation under the state’s Deceptive Trade Practices Act, which protects against misleading advertisers, businesses and everyday users.
Paxton’s office is pursuing the case just as Tesla CEO Elon Musk is seemingly attempting to scuttle his own bid to purchase Twitter. Musk has, for several weeks, been suggesting the platform’s bot numbers may be far greater than its current leadership are reporting. It’s interesting timing for Musk and Paxton’s interests to align: Tesla just opened a Gigafactory in Texas, and is moving its headquarters to the region. That’s a lot of potential business, and it comes as the state has offered tax breaks to companies building local facilities. For whatever it’s worth, Paxton has previously been accused of abuse of office over allegations of bribery, but was eventually cleared by his own office.
Twitter has been ordered to provide unredacted documents detailing the company’s active user counts since 2017, the volume of “inauthentic” accounts over that period and the methods used to calculate the ratio of fake accounts. It also has to outline its advertising model, including the revenue it generates in Texas.
It’s also notable that Musk’s hopes of boosting free speech on Twitter sync with Republic aims to reverse alleged censorship of conservative viewpoints on the site. Twitter has long rejected claims of ideological bias, and sued Paxton over claims of political retaliation that infringed its First Amendment rights.
We’ve asked Twitter for comment. The company has previously maintained that fake accounts represent less than five percent of users, but Paxton echoed Musk’s currently unsupported concerns that fakes might represent 20 percent or more of all Twitter accounts.
The Attorney General has sued multiple tech companies over their practices, including Google (for its ad business) and Meta (over facial recognition). It’s not clear yet if Paxton intends to pursue a lawsuit against Twitter as well.
