Supreme Court Rebuffs Bid to Protect Coinbase User Data From IRS
(Bloomberg) -- The US Supreme Court refused to question an Internal Revenue Service summons that forced Coinbase Global Inc. to turn over transaction information for more than 14,000 cryptocurrency customers. Philadelphia Transit System Votes to Cut Service by 45%, Hike Fares Squeezed by Crowds, the Roads of Central Park Are Being Reimagined Sao Paulo Pushes Out Favela Residents, Drug Users to Revive Its City Center Sprawl Is Still Not the Answer Mapping the Architectural History of New York's Chinatown The justices without explanation rejected an appeal from an account holder who said the IRS violated his rights under the Constitution's Fourth Amendment. Privacy advocates had hoped the case would put new limits on government searches in the digital age. Coinbase account holder James Harper asked the Supreme Court to revisit a 1976 ruling that said customers don't have privacy rights in records held by their banks. A federal appeals court upheld the IRS summons, which came as part of an investigation into what the government says is widespread underreporting of capital gains on cryptocurrencies. 'The lower court's ruling will effectively strip millions of Americans of meaningful privacy protections over their most sensitive financial data – simply because they use modern financial service providers,' Harper argued. Coinbase, the biggest US crypto exchange, joined Harper in asking the high court to take up the case. The company said it resisted the IRS summons as long as it could without risking being held in contempt. President Donald Trump's administration urged the Supreme Court to reject the appeal, saying Harper 'lacks any reasonable expectation of privacy in Coinbase's records about his account.' Though Trump in his current White House term has fashioned himself as a friend of the crypto industry and a skeptic of IRS power, both his current and previous administrations have backed the long-running IRS investigation. The probe began during Barack Obama's presidency in 2016, when the IRS sought personal and financial information on 500,000 Coinbase customers over a three-year period. After a year of legal wrangling, Coinbase turned over a subset of that information, including Harper's data. The IRS sent Harper a letter in 2019 telling him he 'may not have properly reported' virtual currency transactions. Harper, who says he paid all the taxes he owed, then sued the IRS, contending the agency had illegally obtained his financial information. The 1976 Supreme Court ruling said the Constitution's Fourth Amendment, which guards against unreasonable searches and seizures, doesn't apply to records that are held by a 'third party,' like a bank. The court extended that principle to telephone records in 1979, saying people can't expect privacy regarding the numbers they call. The Supreme Court in 2018 carved out what it said was a 'narrow' exception to the third-party doctrine, ruling that the Fourth Amendment covers mobile-phone tower records that show someone's location over an extended period. The court said law enforcement officers generally need a warrant to get that data. Some conservative justices have criticized the third-party rule, saying the court should focus instead on whose property the disputed data is. 'The fact that a third party has access to or possession of your papers and effects does not necessarily eliminate your interest in them,' Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in a separate opinion in the 2018 case. The case is Harper v. Faulkender, 24-922.

Our detectives have made a second arrest – a 42-year-old woman – as our investigation into the tragic murder of Sarah Montgomery in Donaghadee continues at information you can provide, no matter how small, could be details: — Police Ards and North Down (@PSNIArdsNDown) June 30, 2025 Police have said that both suspects were known to the victim and no-one else is being sought in connection with the crime. Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) detectives have made a new appeal for information. Detective Chief Inspector Tom Phillips said: 'We are working at pace to determine the circumstances of Sarah's tragic murder and need help from people in the Donaghadee and Belfast areas. 'Did you see or hear anything unusual or suspicious in the Elmfield Walk area of Donaghadee between 1.20pm and 2.20pm on Friday June 27? 'Did you see a yellow Jeep Avenger in the Airport Road area of the Belfast Harbour Estate, East Belfast between 3.30pm and 4.15pm on Friday June 27? 'Do you have CCTV, dashcam or phone footage which could be useful in our investigation? 'Even if you think it may not be important, please come forward and speak with us as even very small pieces of information could prove invaluable to us.' Mr Phillips added: 'This is an incredibly tragic case which has devastated Sarah's family and friends, and leaves two small children without their beloved mum. 'Specially trained officers will continue to support Sarah's family and we are working to do everything in our power to bring anyone involved in this senseless murder to justice. 'If you know anything that will help with our investigation, please contact us on 101 quoting reference number 865 28/06/25.' Meanwhile, the Northern Ireland Assembly has been told that the epidemic of violence against women and girls in Northern Ireland is worsening. A number of MLAs raised concerns over gender-based violence. First Minister Michelle O'Neill said: 'Another young mother, her life being taken. 'It's just such a tragedy and it just really underlines for us all once again that we have a huge problem in our society with violence against women and girls.' The Assembly was told Ms Montgomery was the 27th adult woman to be killed in Northern Ireland since 2020. SDLP MLA Cara Hunter said the death of Ms Montgomery was an 'unspeakable act of violence which has robbed her children of their mother and shattered a family forever'. She added: 'There is no grief more profound than that of a child torn from the love, safety and care of their mother. 'Their lives undoubtedly changed forever.' Ms Hunter said: 'This is not an isolated incident. It is part of a worsening epidemic of violence against women and girls in Northern Ireland. 'We are failing women, we are failing children and we are failing to meet this crisis with sufficient urgency, co-ordination and political will that it so greatly requires. 'Too many women in our communities live in fear, fear in their homes, fear on the streets and fear in their relationships. 'This fear is not imagined. It is real and it is justified.' DUP North Down MLA Stephen Dunne described the death of Ms Montgomery as 'devastating'. He added: 'Sarah is the 27th adult woman to be killed in Northern Ireland since 2020. 'The majority of these woman have been killed in their own homes, which is a truly shocking and devastating figure. 'A home should be a place of refuge and safety, but sadly that is not always the case. 'Again, it highlights the need for tougher sentencing as well, when we see so many lives ended and totally devastated and shattered with this ongoing scourge of our society of violence against women and girls.' He added: 'Donaghadee is a very close-knit and caring community and I know the community there is already rallying around the family of Sarah Montgomery. 'There is a real sense of shock and sadness and alarm around the devastating events at the weekend.' Alliance Party MLA Connie Egan described the death of Ms Montgomery as an 'absolutely tragic loss'. She said: 'My thoughts first and foremost are with Sarah's loved ones, her family and, of course, her two little children who have to grow up without their mummy. 'Sarah was also pregnant at the time she was killed. 'This is an absolutely horrendous and tragic loss and I know the people in Donaghadee are shocked. 'Tributes left outside her home describe Sarah as a beautiful, kind and wonderful mother.' She added: 'Sarah was the 27th woman to have been killed in Northern Ireland since 2020. 'Our rates of violence against women and girls in Northern Ireland are shockingly high and it is completely unacceptable.'
