Swedish Bitcoin Firm Enters Court Battle to Protect Customer Data


A Swedish bitcoin brokerage has gone to court with the country’s tax authority to prevent an audit of its customer information.


Goobit AB, the company that operates the Stockholm-based BTCX, is fighting a third-party audit request from the Skatteverket, the Swedish tax agency, that would require it to disclose information about its customer base.


As reported last week by Swedish language newspaper Dagens Nyheter, BTCX has gone to court in order to prevent this information from being handed over.
