Powers On Insider trading with crypto is targeted Finally! Part 2
September 15, 2022
This is the second part of my column about the crackdown on insider trading involving crypto. In the first part, I discussed the criminal indictment of Nathaniel Chastain, a former product manager at the OpenSea NFT marketplace. I also discussed the SECs allegations against former Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) employee Ishan Wahi, his brother and his friend, based on the misappropriation theory of insider trading.
