The legal representatives of Coinbase say that the US Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has not collaborated with FOIA requests from Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
Coinbase has tried to use Foia to discover FDIC authorities in which banks are asked to freeze crypto services, known as ‘break breaks’, but the top of the American crypto exchange says that the regulator has not met its information requests.
Paul Grewal, Chief Legal Officer of Coinbase, claims that the breaking letters were part of “Operation Choke Point 2.0”, an alleged attempt by Biden’s Government Rules to suppress the crypto industry.
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.
The following month, the court paused the Deadline of the FDIC to respond to the changed Foia complaint of History Associates “so that the parties could enter into a bi-weekly, informal process for sharing information,” said the law firm.
The legal representation of Coinbase has requested information about the FDIC answer to the FOIA requests, in particular about the policy of the regulator or the practice of “not performing full searches of all relevant databases and not complying with sufficient steps to retain response documents.”
In a new motion that has been submitted this week, History now says that the FDIC is “not willing to work together” with these Foia requests.
“The only viable path forward is that the case resumes and proceeds to a lawsuit of the merits.”
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.
