Coinbase hired History Associates Inc. to pursue communications with the SEC under the Freedom of Information Act, a process initially denied by SEC officials who said the documents were related to an ongoing investigation. That ended it. Coinbase's hired gun ultimately sued over the denial, and History Associates is preparing to ask the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to enforce the agency, but the agency has since determined that the original reason for the denial is no longer valid. This suggests that it may be invalid.
