最新报道：According to Coinbase, Coinbase has asked a federal court to order an "expedited and appropriate search" for Gary Gensler's deleted text messages after the Office of Inspector General revealed that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had deleted a year's worth of his communications. In court documents filed Thursday through History Associates, Coinbase cited the Inspector General's September 3rd report, alleging that the SEC "excluded officials' text messages" when processing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, even though many of those messages qualified as agency records under FOIA. "Gensler's SEC destroyed documents they were required to preserve and produce. We now have evidence from the SEC's own Inspector General," Coinbase Chief Legal Officer Paul Grewal said Thursday on X. "Today, we are asking the federal court to address this egregious breach of public trust to ensure it never happens again." In September 2023, the SEC deleted nearly a year's worth of text messages sent and received by then-Chairman Gary Gensler under a new policy. However, the OIG noted that the messages could have been saved, but the agency's IT staff "performed a factory reset on the smartphone, permanently deleting the device data, including nearly a year's worth of text messages." According to the report, all of Gensler's text messages from October 2022 to September 2023 were lost. This period overlaps with the collapse of FTX and the SEC's increased enforcement actions against cryptocurrency exchanges, including Coinbase. "Gensler's SEC did so even though we requested all internal SEC communications related to cryptocurrency regulation and enforcement decisions several years ago," Grewal said Thursday, adding that Coinbase requested "expedited discovery, sanctions, and immediate production of all responsive texts." The Block has reached out to the SEC for comment.
