Dear DFS Records: Thank you for the update concerning, 2022-092039: “Bank.org demands any and all records concerning the Superintendent's said DFS role with Brex (Declaration on said disclosure form).” Expected due date: 10.12.22. Dear EXEC Records: We have the same FOIL request pending with your office (attached). Do you have any updates on this important Interlocking directorates type FOIL request? We are concerned that the Brex role has association with the PayPal Mafia.

Mr. Bogdan: We would like to appeal this FOIL determination. Specific to scholarships in Africa, Goldman Sachs has issued advertisements as principal funder of Africa's largest online University. DFS having no records associated with 'one of the world's largest minority scholarship programs...' that is funded out of New York would allude to willful negligence on behalf of New York's financial regulators. Recently, we received a FOIL denial for any and all records related to DFS' approach to obstruction of justice as part of the FOIL process. DFS responded, saying we are making "incoherent and general" records requests. So please let me clarify: As a Bill and Melinda Gates Scholar, I personally have an obligation to make sure our firm does not willfully ignore DFS having no records related to potentially the world's largest scholarship fraud funded out of New York.

Coinbase Funds Lawsuit Challenging United States Treasury Department on Crypto Privacy and Innovation
by Gunnar Larson 11 Oct '22

11 Oct '22

Check out my new article: https://litigationfinancejournal.com/coinbase-funds-lawsuit-challenging-uni… Brian Armstrong (CEO and Co-Founder of Coinbase) recently announced litigation funding of a new lawsuit that questions the integrity of the United States Treasury’s sanctions of Tornado Cash privacy software. Coinbase’s litigation investment aims to vindicate six individuals who were added to the United States’ sanctions list as part of banning Tornado Cash. According to Coinbase’s blog <https://www.coinbase.com/blog/defending-privacy-in-crypto>, Tornado Cash’s open source software design offers a valuable personal privacy protection utility. Coinbase claims that Treasury may have overreacted by sanctioning the entire Tornado Cash software program protocol technology. Coinbase suggests that law-abiding citizens have a right to privacy, and that congress has not entitled the Treasury to sanction open source software. Coinbase also is concerned that Federal sanctions on open source software may preclude future software innovation. Coinbase’s hope is that the Treasury will reverse the personal sanctions attributed to the six individuals who are the subject of the claim. Additionally, Coinbase hopes to signal the firm’s approach to protecting personal privacy and pure cryptocurrency innovation.
