Coinbase acquires company known for developing government surveillance spyware. Customers Leave in Protest

Neutrino worked for many governments (Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Mexico and others) of the world to surveil journalists.

I think comments made by a Coinbase spokesperson speaks volumes.

< Coinbase spokesperson said the company was aware of the Neutrino team’s past but felt the significance of this business opportunity outweighed that consideration.

The Neutrino acquisition will help with block chain analysis. But it makes you wonder why this company over many other similar companies with nowhere near this reputation.
