A legal arbitrator has ruled that cryptocurrency exchange Gemini (NASDAQ: $GEMI) cannot be held liable for the collapse of its Earn lending program.
Specifically, the arbitrator in the case said that Gemini, led by twin brothers Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss, did not mislead users and was not at fault for the failure of Earn lending.
The legal claim was filed by investors in 2024 following the lending program's collapse. The arbitrator found insufficient evidence that Gemini lied to customers or failed to do due diligence.

Karen Attiah must be reinstated by The Washington Post and receive back pay after an arbitrator ruled the newspaper lacked sufficient cause to fire the opinion columnist over her social media posts following the ******* assination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.
Arbitrator Sarah Miller Espinosa found the Post "did not have good and sufficient cause" to terminate Attiah and failed to establish that she engaged in "gross misconduct," according to a decision obtained by The New York Times. Attiah was fired by the Post in September after posting about Kirk's killing on Bluesky.
"This decision confirms what we've said from the start: I was doing my job as an opinion writer, and this was wrongful termination," Attiah said in a statement, adding that she was "relieved to finally have that record set straight."
Attiah told the Times that she was "willing to go back" to the Post, which she called "one of the world's most storied newspapers." A Washington Post spokeswoman told the Times that the company respects the arbitration process and declined to comment further.
Attiah was fired after posting on Bluesky about the reaction to Kirk's ******* assination. In one post, she wrote, "Refusing to tear my clothes and smear ashes on my face in performative mourning for a white man that espoused violence is … not the same as violence."

NEW YORK (AP) — Former Miami Heat guard Terry Rozier wants to play in the NBA while he fights sports gambling charges that sidelined him last season. Bail conditions that bar him from contact with certain players and limit his travel could complicate his potential return.
U.S. District Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall on Wednesday denied a defense request to modify Rozier's bail conditions so he can practice and play with potential witnesses as long as they don't talk about the case. The judge said it would be impossible to police Rozier's on-court conversations.
She admonished Rozier for already violating the no-contact provision of his $3 million bond by sending a text message to a person he was told not to communicate with. Rozier was contacting the person to tell the person he was on the no-contact list, DeArcy Hall said.
"What that tells me is that he believes he knows better than the court," DeArcy Hall said at a hearing in Brooklyn federal court. Rozier, she said, "violated the court's trust with that text message."
Rozier averaged 3.9 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.5 ***** ists per game in 10 NBA seasons, four and a half of which he spent with the Charlotte Hornets before he was traded to Miami in 2024. He remains a free agent after the Heat released him in April. An arbitrator ruled in February that the Heat had to pay Rozier his $26.6 million salary for last season.

The College Sports Commission portrayed an arbitrator’s decision involving name, image and likeness payments to two Georgia athletes as one that “reinforces the integrity of the neutral arbitration process” that is part of the NIL-era rulebook for college sports.
The CSC released details of the decision Monday, which contained small victories for both sides. The arbitrator approved the deals after the CSC re-reviewed them and determined they fit its range-of-compensation model that had been updated after the commission initially rejected the deal and Georgia brought the case to arbitration.
But the arbitrator declined to delve further into the scope of the CSC’s authority or to award the school the attorneys fees it spent bringing the case.
The CSC said it would not make a habit of re-reviewing deals, but because this case involved a key adjustment that came after the arbitration began, it went back and looked at it again.
Georgia’s athletic department released a statement saying that while it was a positive outcome for the athletes, “we remain concerned about how it was reached.”
