    RE: 20-00103-FOIA

    Dear Mr. Reynolds:

    This is in response to your request dated April 12, 2020 under the Freedom of
    Information Act seeking access to:

    Copies of subpoenas that name any of the following people, companies or organizations:

    1) Arthur Hayes
    2) HDR Global Trading Limited
    3) Binance Holdings Limited
    4) CoinMarketCap OpCo, LLC
    5) bit Flyer, Inc
    6) ByBit
    7) Bequant Exchange Ltd
    8) FTX Trading LTD
    9) Huobi Group

    In accordance with the FOIA and agency policy, we have searched our records, as of
    April 13, 2020, the date we received your request in our FOIA office.

    We have located 50 pages of responsive records, all of which are exempt from the
    FOIA’s disclosure requirement as explained below.

    The records are exempt from disclosure under FOIA Exemption 7(A), 5 U.S.C. §
    552(b)(7)(A), because disclosure of that material could reasonably be expected to interfere with
    the conduct of the Commission’s law enforcement activities. See Robbins Tire & Rubber Co. v.
    NLRB, 437 U.S. 214 (1978).
    If you have any questions about the way we are handling your request, or about our FOIA
    regulations or procedures, please contact me at 202-418-5912, or Jonathan Van Doren, our FOIA
    Public Liaison, at 202-418-5505.

    Additionally, you may contact the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) at
    the National Archives and Records Administration to inquire about the FOIA mediation services
    they offer. The contact information for OGIS is as follows: Office of Government Information
    Services, National Archives and Records Administration, Room 2510, 8601 Adelphi Road,
    College Park, Maryland 20740-6001, email at [email protected]; telephone at 202-741-5770; toll
    free at 1-877-684-6448; or facsimile at 202-741-5769.

    If you are not satisfied with this response to your request, you may appeal by writing to
    Freedom of Information Act Appeal, Office of the General Counsel, Commodity Futures Trading
    Commission, Three Lafayette Centre, 8th Floor, 1155 21st Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20581,
    within 90 days of the date of this letter. Please enclose a copy of your original request and a
    copy of this response.

    Sincerely,

    Rosemary Bajorek
