Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong: "We have notified all the law firms we work with that if they hire people involved in illegal activities in the previous SEC administration, we will no longer be their clients.

Recently, for example, Milbank made a mistake by hiring Gurbir Grewal. We are no longer cooperating with them and will not while he is working there.

It is a violation of ethical norms to try to destroy an entire industry without creating clear rules. If you were in a leadership position at the SEC, you can't justify yourself by saying that you were 'just following orders.' Many good specialists left the commission, understanding what was happening.

I am not calling for the complete abolition of these people. They can find jobs in other fields, but the crypto industry should not support them financially after such treatment with us. If your law firm hires such people, it loses you as a client. Let them know about it."
