Fwd: Your Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) Request FOIL-2024-097305-022021

[Gunnar Larson]

Kevin:

How are you?

Following up with you concerning your article mentioning NY-DFS
Superintendent recusals as "Crypto's Most Powerful Regulator."

xNY.io - Bank.org is having trouble verifying your reporting. NY-DHR has
noted no records. NY-DFS seems to be stone walling.

Do you have moment for a quick phone call this week?

Thank you,

Gunnar

Dear Madam Attorney General:

xNY.io - Bank.org today contacts your esteemed office seeking to engage New
York State's False Claims Act under urgent pretences.

Attorney General James, xNY.io - Bank.org contacted NY-DHR to assess if
they have any records of NY-DFS Superintendent recusal records mentioned by
New York Magazine (below). NY-DHR has responded that they have no NY-DFS
Superintendent recusal records.

As a matter of risk arbitrage, xNY.io - Bank.org is not in a position to
placate any obstruction by NY-DFS on such important matters as our rights
as New Yorkers.

For these obvious reasons,  xNY.io - Bank.org seeks the Attorney General's
blessing to engage New York State's False Claims Act to mitigate any undue
losses to New Yorkers given conflicts of interest in virtual currency
marketes, including overall pure financial innovation across New York State.

The very best with regards,

Gunnar
