The contract, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/us-marshals-service-coinbase-prime-to-custody-class-1-digital-assets\/\">assigned to Coinbase in July<\/a>, required a platform to provide custody and trading services for the digital assets seized during law enforcement investigations.<\/p>\n<p>White pointed out that federal laws prohibit political contributions from entities involved in federal contracts to prevent influence over the contract awarding process.<\/p>\n<p>So, White <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/molly0xFFF\/status\/1818396801625391532\">stated<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If the contribution is indeed a violation of campaign finance law, it would be the largest such violation by a huge margin \u2014 with past violations maxing out with contributions of around $1 million.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Coinbase response<\/h2>\n<p>Coinbase's Chief Legal Officer, <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/people\/paul-grewal\/\">Paul Grewal<\/a>, has labeled White's report as misinformation.<\/p>\n<p>Grewal clarified that Coinbase was not a federal contractor under 11 CFR 115.1 and that USMS wasn't paying the firm with appropriated funds.
