Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss — as well as Barry Silbert — have defrauded investors at a similar scale to Sam Bankman-Fried. They convinced customers that they were putting money into an interest-generating account, tricking them into believing that this was a stable, risk-managed investment, one that was continually liquid (“withdraw your assets instantly”), as opposed to the reality that Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss knowingly funneled customer funds into an unstable, undercollateralized lender.

The Winklevoss twins, Tyler and Cameron, have urged the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to withdraw its proposal on event contracts, which they argue could impact prediction markets like Polymarket. In an X post, Tyler criticized the proposal for potentially banning all event contracts in the U.S., limiting access to prediction markets. Cameron shared insights from Gemini’s letter, emphasizing the importance of platforms like Polymarket for transparency and market dynamics.

Coinbase has also opposed the CFTC’s proposal, challenging its definition of “gaming” and questioning the commission’s authority to ban prediction markets. Cameron echoed these concerns, arguing that a blanket ban on such markets disregards their value and historical reliability. He cited the Supreme Court case Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo to underscore that regulatory agencies cannot extend their power through rulemaking.

What a shock that cryptobros are now aligning with the Far Right, who will turn a blind eye to their dreams of a scam-based economy so long as they can all agree that cops and regulators only exist to keep gross poor people away from your stuff.

It's almost like caring only about money turns you into a fiend who will burn everything for another $10.

Winklevoss Twins Criticize Biden's Crypto Policies, Back Trump as Pro-Crypto Candidate

Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, co-founders of Gemini, have publicly endorsed former US President Donald Trump for the upcoming November election, branding him as the “pro-Bitcoin, pro-crypto, and pro-business choice.” Their endorsement is coupled with a substantial financial gesture: each twin has contributed $1 million in Bitcoin to Trump’s campaign. Trump has recently taken a strong stance in…

I did not know this man was British even though he was a British guy in the very first thing I saw him in (I watched Bly Manor before I watched Hill House). I thought he was an American putting on an accent, and not even because I thought the accent sounded bad, just because he seems almost comically American to me. He looks like he played on the same lacrosse team as Glen Powell.

[turn-to-me]

I rewatched The Social Network for its 13th anniversary. One of my favorite films of all time, and one that convinced me of Armie's extraordinary acting skills. The film is a masterpiece on every level, one of the greatest biopics of the 21st century. In my opinion also David Fincher's magnum opus, together with Se7en, if one could have more than 1. With an inimitable performance of the KILLER soundtrack.

And Armie Hammer was in it!!!

A few review quotes about Armie's performance:

* Hammer and Garfield make the glue that hold it together.

* Although the stand out award I'd like to give to Mr. Armie Hammer. His role is just Tailor fit, literally as his jacket. From his statuesque as a rower all through out as a dapper at Harvard, he is just believable in that field. He is after after all the Winklevoss BrotherS.

* Armie hammer is a best combination of grace and conceit how he played wealthy twins.

* David Fincher's cool, stylish direction and great performances by Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Armie Hammer make The Social Network a worthwhile watch.

* Now that some of the dust has settled, there’s one name that keeps coming up as a comic scene-stealer and awards dark horse: Armie Hammer, who plays entitled twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. In the movie, a Winklevoss twin declares, “I’m six-foot-five, 220 pounds, and there’s two of me,” but since there’s only one of Hammer, that meant the actor was often acting opposite a body double whose face he’d be digitally grafted onto in postproduction (and when you consider the notorious amount of takes that an exacting director like David Fincher requires, Hammer’s nimble pair of performances is all the more impressive). 

* My favorite description of the twins in the film comes from Alison Willmore's review, in which she writes, "Hammer is infinitely amusing in his dual role, exuding privilege and looking like something grown in a vat of J. Crew catalogs and Aryan race propaganda."

* No one could have played Sean Parker like Justin Timberlake, and Armie Hammer playing the Winklevoss twins is fantastic too.

* The quasi-pair of performances generated Hammer Oscar buzz at the time, and he has been a marquee mainstay ever since, appearing in films like J. Edgar (2011), The Lone Ranger (2013), The Birth of a Nation (2016), Call Me By Your Name (2017), Cars 3 (2017), Sorry to Bother You (2018), and On the Basis of Sex (2018).

* What makes Armie Hammer’s  acting performance outstanding is his use of specific body language with each of the two characters.

The different  way he moves, his vocal cadences , and facial expressions makes it so easy to believe that these were two different people on the screen. 

When Armie played Cameron Winklevoss, he played him more uptight and more formal. The formality also came out  in his dialogue. His diction was more precise.

When he played Tyler  Winklevoss,  he leaned back and was more laid back. His speech pattern was more fluid and he even used curse words as Tyler’s character.

I think that Armie’s performance was so great that I would easily see him being a contender for best supporting actor at the next Academy Awards ceremony.

This scene is epic! Great visual metaphor emphasised by this music piece.

Gemini Co-founder Calls Oregon AG 'Clown' for Ignoring XRP Ruling in New Coinbase Lawsuit

Gemini co-founder Tyler Winklevoss has issued a sharp and unapologetic rebuke to Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield in response to the state’s newly filed lawsuit against Coinbase. His remarks came as the crypto community reacted strongly to the legal action, which accuses the exchange of offering unregistered securities, including XRP. Winklevoss did not hold back his criticism regarding the…

ok more 911 rowing au posting but i’m now thinking about them as one of those kickass masters programs that shows up to like. the charles. so. buck was 5seat at his d1 program but he was never going to the olympics so he joins this masters program. but he gets there and it’s nothing like his college program. for one, people don’t show up every day. for another, no eights. which, to buck, is a huge fucking deal. what do you mean you don’t row the only boat that matters??? and he says something to this effect to hen, who’s showing him around, and she just stares at him.

bobby (the coach, obviously) puts buck in a gig—a training single, basically—his first practice. buck complains he doesn’t need the extra stability, he’s not an idiot, he knows how to sweep so he’ll be fine in just a normal single. buck flips three separate times.

eventually, buck gets the hang of sculling, but he definitely doesn’t prefer it. chim and hen go out in their double with bobby following alongside (sometimes in a launch sometimes in a single of his own) but the magic really happens when eddie finally shows up and the four of them go out in a four. hen is bow, chimney is 2seat, buck is 3seat, and eddie is stroke. buck is pissed about this at first. who does this guy think he is, showing up and just taking over stroke like that? in buck’s first real chance to show what he’s capable of? but after a practice buck gets it. bc one thing about eddie: the guy’s got rhythm. buck’s never seen someone row so consistently.

so their cox-less four starts going out there and rowing. and sure they go to regattas that have masters events but sometimes they don’t even medal. but bobby’s proud of them regardless. and buck starts to realize that maybe he doesn’t mind not being an olympian. maybe he doesn’t even mind not being the best all the time.
