CFTC nominee Brian Quintents tells everything in the battle of the Wincrevos Twins

Table of Contents

Under the tragedy of yesterday, it was groundbreaking financial news. The candidate for CFTC Chair and the policy director for A16Z Crypto, Brian Quintenz, posted a personal message from Winklevii about whether he would support their whim once he becomes chairman.

The long, intentionally vague message appears to have asked Quintenz to “fix what happened (Gemini)” and to implement “cultural reform” within the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

Quintenz didn’t push back those requests, implying that when it comes to CFTC, “there is nothing close to the big picture of what’s going on inside.”

Quintenz shared a screenshot of a conversion with the Winklevoss Twins on X yesterday.

Publicly available signaling messages raise questions about many possible issues regarding regulators and industry billionaires that are to be monitored.

For example, if Quintenz succeeds in his nomination, would it be acceptable to join a private signal chat, where he discusses how he will help Winklevii? When billionaires expect the bounty of support, are we entirely in the Republic of Kleptocraticus?

Is A16z at war with Winklevii now? Does Quintenz get along well with other individuals currently working at CFTC?

There’s nothing illegal, but it’s not good for everyone

The reason behind the public spat is that Winclevi appears to have asked Donald Trump to reconsider Quintenz’s nomination.

Politico said: “The brothers told the president they should abandon Quintenz, a former commissioner of an institution with close industry ties.

What appears to have happened instead is that Winklevii made a request that it was not guaranteed but not ignored.

Winclevie hasn’t told Donald Trump to suspend Quintenz’s nomination, nor does it appear that the messages Quintenz shares are illegal.

But dirty laundry puts Trump in a difficult position. Quintenz works for A16Z, and founder Marc Andreessen is not only a strong financial advocate for Trump, but also a personal advisor.

Meanwhile, Winklevii is Trump’s loud, loud financial advocate in his retail business.

At the time of writing, both Winclevy and President Trump have not responded to Quintenz’s release of private signal messages exchanged with billionaire twins, but this article will be updated in that case.
