According to Decrypt, the cryptocurrency exchange Gemini submitted a complaint to the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Inspector General, accusing the agency's enforcement division of waging a 'legal war' against it for 7 years, motivated not by market regulation, but by individual officials seeking personal advancement. Gemini claims the case originated from a false whistleblower report submitted by a former executive who was fired for assisting in a kickback scheme, yet could potentially receive up to $1.5 million in whistleblower rewards. Gemini pointed out that key witnesses have been found to have lied multiple times by the arbitration body, yet the CFTC continues to pursue the case and reached a settlement earlier this year with a $5 million fine. Gemini criticized that the case has had no real harm to the market and called for reform of the CFTC's enforcement culture.
