Fox News: Jeffery Berns Claims IRS Access to Coinbase Data Could Lead to Identity Theft, Stolen Funds & Hacking!

The IRS vs Coinbase, and now Coinbase user Jeffery Berns was covered on Fox News.

It was revealed the case will be heard on January 19th.

The article states:

“The IRS Summons is certainly not what the Supreme Court envisioned. Further, the breadth of the summons, which seeks substantial personal information that is not at all relevant to tax compliance issues, and which could expose these clients to significant risk of having their identity and funds stolen by hackers who have succeeded previously in hacking the federal government, including the IRS numerous times, makes it easy to conclude that the IRS is engaging in abuse of process,” the motion, on half of all Coinbase users, states.

There was both video and written coverage that discussed the current case. Stay tuned for more news on this story as it becomes available. I attempted to post the video but I kept getting errors.
