This is an extremely clickbaity headline.

The "recordings" are of a phisher attempting to get information from the author. It proves nothing about what Coinbase knew.

The author turned the information over to Coinbase, but that doesn't prove Coinbase knew about their breach. The customer could have leaked their account details in some other way.

I sent the phone recording and emails to coinbase, and they acknowledged them saying "This report is super robust and gives us a lot to look into. We are investigating this scammer now."

It seems like you did a great job collecting info and reporting it. Still, how do you know that the info was obtained via Coinbase? Certainly they are a likely vector but you are too, and maybe there are others.

Edit: Nevermind; I see you addressed that here:

I have recordings proving Coinbase knew about breach months before disclosure
