Gensler carried out his actions no matter penalties, Winklevoss stated, calling Gensler “evil.” Gensler didn’t care if his actions meant “nuking an trade, tens of 1000’s of jobs, individuals’s livelihoods, billions of invested capital, and extra.”
Winklevoss additional said that Gensler has prompted irrevocable injury to the crypto trade and the nation, which no “quantity of apology can undo.”
