I don't think it is fair to bash Coinbase just because they have a similar name to CoinLab. The link you cite seems to conflate the two as the same thing, but they are actually different, and it is just plain dishonest to make a mistake like that and not fix it in the article. That might be libel?
And your assumption that they're different is based on what? (Tho I do chuckle at the implication that equating them is libel. To which one remains an unanswerable question).
