A former Coinbase product manager pleaded guilty to two counts of wire fraud conspiracy in the first cryptocurrency insider trading case.
Ishan Wahi was accused by the Department of Justice (DOJ) of working with his brother and a third coconspirator to profit from the purchase and sale of cryptocurrencies before they were listed on Coinbase’s exchange. The DOJ announced Wahi’s guilty plea Tuesday.
Wahi, who was charged in July by the DOJ and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), faces up to 40 years in prison. He is scheduled to be sentenced in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on May 10.
