Michael:

I am wondering if our last correspondence specific to the Bloomberg Coinbase interview had anything to do with the Bloomberg event in Chicago yesterday?

All the best,

Hi Gunnar,

If would like to be more specific on the nature of the catch up I can try to put you in touch with the appropriate person as I do not work in the news division.

Michael:

I am watching this Bloomberg Live interview now (Former US President and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump discusses his economic policies, immigration and the 2024 US presidential election. Bloomberg News Editor-in-Chief John Micklethwait speaks to Trump at an event with the Economic Club of Chicago): https://youtu.be/MyaHbUmVll4?si=d9P4EnfJu3NPajt0 <#m_3058925448158357256_>.

Before I get ahead of myself in watching Bloomberg's journalism yesterday (and, for plausible deniability), I feel implored to re-investigate our last January 31, 2023 e-mail correspondence together.

Michael, are you available to have a phone conversation today or tomorrow?

Warm regards,

Gunnar ✌ -- Gunnar Larson xNY.io - Bank.org 917-580-8053

No big deal.

Was just a thought.

Have a great night,

Dear Mike:

Did you watch the interview on the David Rubenstein Show: Coinbase's Brian Armstrong Bloomberg.com: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2023-01-12/the-david-rubenstein-show-c... <#m_3058925448158357256_>

The interview was done last December, before the 100M settlement was done with NY-DFS. In the interview, Mr. Armstrong makes several false claims to Coinbase's compliance and overall integrity.

This is somewhat problematic with overall integrity to their future of digital asset innovation cross border. xNY.io - Bank.org was thinking of exploring New York's false claims act on the interview.

Wanted to see if Bloomberg wanted to join us on this pursuit?

Thank you,

Gunnar
