Maybe you're not aware of the back story. Coinbase was one of the few large companies that did not go all woke over the George Floyd incident.

The identity politics activists in the company took offence to this and demanded management make a statement. When management refused to bend the knee the activists made allegations of racism and took them to the nytimes.

I feel like someone needs to put a big flag at the top of the comments section asking people to at least skim the article. Maybe the problem is the paywall? Anyway, the people they spoke to all left the company prior to George Floyd's death.

It's the reason the article comes up now, and not last year.

What do you mean by "go all woke"? You are being very vague, maybe you should be more specific.
