Coinbase（COIN）加強迫使美國 SEC 公佈內部文件

在 Coinbase（納斯達克股票代碼：COIN）與美國證券交易委員會（SEC）之間的升級中，加密貨幣交易所加強了力度

Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN) filed a Reply Memorandum of Law on Monday, August 12, in support of their motion to compel the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to fulfill discovery obligations.

Coinbase（納斯達克股票代碼：COIN）於 8 月 12 日星期一提交了一份答覆法律備忘錄，以支持其迫使美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 履行發現義務的動議。

Last week, the SEC submitted a memorandum to the Southern District Court of New York, arguing against Coinbase’s demands, which include the release of personal crypto-related emails from SEC chairman Gary Gensler. The SEC described these requests as “breathtakingly broad,” alleging that they are unnecessary and impose an undue burden on the regulator.

上週，SEC 向紐約南區法院提交了一份備忘錄，反對 Coinbase 的要求，其中包括公佈 SEC 主席 Gary Gensler 的個人加密相關電子郵件。美國證券交易委員會將這些要求描述為“極其廣泛”，聲稱這些要求是不必要的，並且給監管機構帶來了不必要的負擔。

Coinbase Doesn’t Back Down

Coinbase 不會退縮

Coinbase's response criticizes the SEC for not conducting a thorough search of non-Enforcement Division personnel documents, including those from SEC Commissioners and the Division of Trading and Markets, which have not been searched or produced.

Coinbase 的回應批評 SEC 沒有對非執法部門的人事文件進行徹底搜查，包括來自 SEC 專員和交易與市場部門的文件，這些文件尚未被搜查或出示。

“After refusing for weeks to prepare a preliminary ‘hit report’ as the basis for constructive discussion, the SEC has now acceded to this threshold request—seeking to use those hit-report results to cut off, rather than facilitate, an informed discovery protocol,” Coinbase stated in the memorandum.

“在幾週來拒絕準備一份初步‘命中報告’作為建設性討論的基礎之後，美國證券交易委員會現在同意了這一門檻要求——尋求利用這些命中報告結果來切斷而不是促進知情發現協議” ，Coinbase 在備忘錄中表示。

The filing further accuses the SEC of being selective in its document search and production processes, stating that the SEC overstated the burden of production by four times. Coinbase challenges the SEC’s reluctance to review documents from outside its Enforcement Division, emphasizing the relevance of various communications highlighted in other legal cases, such as the Ripple case.

該文件進一步指責 SEC 在文件搜尋和製作過程中存在選擇性，並指出 SEC 將製作負擔誇大了四倍。 Coinbase 對 SEC 不願審查其執法部門以外的文件提出質疑，強調了其他法律案件（例如 Ripple 案件）中強調的各種通訊的相關性。

One significant point of contention remains the SEC’s refusal to inquire whether Chair Gensler uses his personal email for communications relevant to the issues at the heart of the case.

一個重要的爭論點仍然是 SEC 拒絕詢問主席 Gensler 是否使用他的個人電子郵件進行與案件核心問題相關的通信。

“Finally, with respect to Chair Gensler, the SEC refuses even to ask whether he receives or sends relevant communications on his personal email. The opposition offers no basis for this refusal,” the filing states. The crypto exchange insists that Gensler’s personal communications could contain critical information relevant to the case and argues that the SEC’s refusal to inquire about these communications is unjustifiable.

「最後，關於 Gensler 主席，SEC 甚至拒絕詢問他是否透過個人電子郵件接收或發送相關通信。反對派沒有提供拒絕的依據。該加密貨幣交易所堅稱 Gensler 的個人通信可能包含與案件相關的關鍵訊息，並認為 SEC 拒絕詢問這些通信是沒有道理的。

Coinbase also criticizes the SEC for dismissing the relevance of documents that could support the fair notice defense. “The SEC should be ordered to run searches relating to Coinbase’s fair notice defense… After proclaiming this defense ‘effectively dead’ and forswearing any such search ‘unless and until’ the Court confirmed it was ‘still in the case,’ the SEC now has that confirmation but persists in asserting the documents’ categorical irrelevance,” the exchange argues.

Coinbase 也批評 SEC 駁回了可以支持公平通知辯護的文件的相關性。 「應該命令SEC 進行與Coinbase 公平通知抗辯相關的搜查……在宣布這一抗辯「實際上已經失效」並發誓放棄任何此類搜查「除非且直到」法院確認該案「仍在審理中」之後， SEC 現在已經該確認，但堅持聲稱這些文件絕對不相關，」交易所辯稱。

Moreover, Coinbase demands that the SEC log all documents reviewed and withheld, as stipulated by a court order implementing Rule 502(d). This request highlights the necessity for these actions to ensure a fair legal process, with the exchange ready to confer with the SEC to finalize the specifics of the search protocol.

此外，Coinbase 要求 SEC 根據實施規則 502(d) 的法院命令的規定，記錄所有審查和扣留的文件。該請求強調了採取這些行動的必要性，以確保公平的法律程序，交易所準備與 SEC 協商以最終確定搜索協議的具體細節。
