Jinse Finance reported that on September 30, Republican members of the U.S. House of Representatives sent a letter to current SEC Chairman Paul Atkins, raising concerns about the automated deletion of text messages belonging to former Chairman Gary Gensler by the technical department during the period from October 2022 to September 2023. This period coincided with a series of lawsuits initiated by the SEC against certain exchanges and other crypto enterprises. An investigation by the agency’s independent office revealed that the incident was caused by deficiencies in device management policies. The lawmakers also mentioned that Gary Gensler had used his personal email for official business during his tenure at the CFTC, questioning whether this violated the Federal Records Act.
