“An email released through the FOIA request shows that Coinbase didn’t require ICE to agree to an End User License Agreement, standard legalese that imposes limits on what a customer can do with software.”
Crypto sold itself as money the government can’t watch. The biggest US exchange now sells ICE a tool to trace bitcoin, ether and tether, with “historical geo tracking data” in the contract. Coinbase won’t say where that location data comes from. It also skipped the license terms that would limit how ICE uses it. Financial freedom, now with a federal customer.
