Back then, the agency declined to comment on the report, but the recently published schedule appears to confirm that discussions with Faketoshi did take place. However, it remains unclear whether the SEC’s officials realized that they were talking to a scammer. The emails that were reviewed by The Verge didn’t show that regulators actually took his claims at face value.
