Gemini won’t hire MIT grads unless university drops ex-SEC chair Gensler
Gemini CEO Tyler Winklevoss said the exchange won’t hire from MIT due to the university rehiring Gary Gensler, a boycott that one commentator called “overkill.”
Crypto exchange Gemini won’t be hiring any graduates from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology unless the university drops former Securities and Exchange Commission chair Gary Gensler from his teaching role.
“As long as MIT has any association with Gary Gensler, Gemini will not hire any graduates from this school,” Gemini co-founder and CEO Tyler Winklevoss said in a Jan. 30 X post. He added the crypto exchange also wouldn’t hire interns for its summer internship program.
Gemini’s feud with the SEC stems back to at least March, when it paid $21 million in fines to settle SEC claims that it sold unregistered securities through its Gemini Earn program with the now-bankrupt crypto firm Genesis.
