They were investors in BitInstant, right? I wonder how much money they lost when it imploded?

I would assume they lose their entire investment as it was taken offline as soon as charlie was arrested and I assume that it has little value now above what of potentially had as far as bitcoin and fiat (both of which have depreciated since bitistant was shut down)

Have they been questioned on there role if any at BitInstant? If they were big investers they would of had a say in the running of it. Might raise a few questions before the launch of EFT.

IIRC, they made a statement shortly after Charlie was arresting saying that they did not have any prior knowledge of his actions on SR1

Then they must have been directly involved principals. If they were just silent partners they wouldn't have felt the need to make a statement. That makes sense because venture capitalists are expected to bring managerial and technical expertise as well as capital to their investments. I bet Mark Zuckerberg laughed his ass off when that happened. lol

I would not be at all surprised if zuckerburg laughed when Charlie was arrested because it pointed out a failure of the winklevoss twins.

Also the winklevoss twins do not strike me as the type would would want to be making passive investments so I would assume that most of their portfolio would be made up of VC like deals
