The US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) continues to “resist” transparency -efforts with regard to alleged attempts from the past to destroy the crypto sector, according to Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal.
Grewal References “Operation Choke Point 2.0”, an alleged attempt by the regulators of the Biden Administration to suppress the crypto industry.
Coinbase used the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to discover authorities of the FDIC that ask banks to freeze crypto services, known as ‘break loans’, but Grewal says they do not fully satisfy.
The Exchange has hired the History of the History Associates law firm, which submitted a motion in January in which he asked a federal court to intervene.
Explains Grewal,
“One of our requests concerns the representation of FDIC in a hearing before the court that the agency had carried out” Due Diligence “to ensure that no documents were destroyed. We asked FDIC to describe what example that due diligence was repeatedly refused to do this on the basis of the court.
In response to our requests for FDIC guidelines or policy on the processing of FOIA requests-direct relevant for our claims of the policy or practice, the agency only produced fragments from a few documents that have little or nothing to do with the specific FOIA policy or practices that History of Associates have disputed in the hobby. What exactly are they hiding? “
Last month, the FDIC published edited documents with regard to its supervision of crypto-related activities, including breaks sent to 24 banks and communication and records involving other regulated institutions.
Chairman James Comer (R-KE) of the Huis Oversight Committee then sent a letter to FDIC Acting Chairman Travis Hill to request untracted copies of the documents.
