- danielweber 13y agoBecause those were bogus. In retrospect, it should have been a huge warning sign that the entire thing was bogus. At worst (for Coinbase), they have someone reporting a legit security issue with a bunch of jokes at the top.
- Mizza 13y agoI filed a Freedom of Information Act request to the FBI about Coinbase, and they replied that they have no documents. https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/coinbase-fbi-9727/ https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/coi... Of course, the FBI is explicitly allow to lie in response to FOIA requests if it will protect an ongoing investigation. However, I was also told at a party by a Coinbase employee that this is not true (which is why I filed the request to begin with.) I am certain that they have a relationship.
