Coinbase is a US publicly traded company regulated by the SEC. Their business model is garbage but they have orders of magnitude more data that shows that as a company, they’re legit.

However, the company was really shipping fruit baskets to customers. The employees then created fake documents as evidence that they were recording sales.
