The company provided the access code for a customer's safe to FBI agents who were executing a search warrant. Nathan Hughes, the safe's owner, is under investigation for crimes related to the events of January 6th, 2020 in Washington DC. Some were not happy to hear the company cooperated with the FBI's request, particularly given that many perceive the crackdown on January 6th protesters as politically driven and illegitimate.
