Crypto Chaos: Coinbase Takes on FDIC in Hilarious Legal Showdown!

On the tenth day of April, a date that shall live in infamy (or at least in the annals of crypto history), the illustrious crypto exchange known as Coinbase decided to take a stand against the FDIC, which, in a move reminiscent of a tortoise in a marathon, sought an additional 16 days to respond to Coinbase’s ongoing Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit. 🐢

Enter stage left, Paul Grewal, Coinbase’s Chief Legal Officer, who, with all the fervor of a man who has just discovered his favorite tea has been replaced with herbal nonsense, criticized the agency’s request, deeming it “absurd.” In a post on X (formerly known as Twitter, but let’s not get bogged down in semantics), Grewal noted that the FDIC had filed a staggering 13 pages just to ask for more time—time to decide whether to ask for even more delay. One can only imagine the bureaucratic ballet taking place behind those closed doors! 💃

“FDIC just filed 13 pages in our FOIA suit asking the Court for another 16 days to decide whether to ask us for … even more delay. As laid out in our response, this is absurd,” he quipped, likely while sipping a cup of Earl Grey and shaking his head in disbelief.

In its legal filing, Coinbase accused the FDIC of failing to meet its transparency obligations, which is a bit like accusing a cat of failing to catch mice—one might say it’s a bit of a stretch. The company also argued that the documents released thus far were so heavily redacted that they revealed virtually nothing of substance, akin to reading a novel with half the pages missing. 📚

The FOIA case is but a small part of a grander scheme by Coinbase to uncover whether federal banking regulators have been engaging in a clandestine tango to restrict access to banking services for crypto-related companies. One can only hope they have a good lawyer and a strong cup of coffee for this legal escapade! ☕
