🌟 Exciting News Alert! 🌟 Former Coinbase Manager and His Brother Settle SEC Insider Trading Charges! 💼💸
Guess what? A former Coinbase manager, Ishan Wahi, and his brother, Nikhil Wahi, have agreed to settle the insider trading charges brought against them by a US regulator. How cool is that? 🚀💰
🔔 The SEC filed a complaint back in July, accusing Ishan Wahi of tipping his brother and a friend, Sameer Ramani, about upcoming crypto trades on Coinbase. They allegedly profited when the value of the crypto went up. Sneaky, right? 😉
➡️ “While the technologies involved may be new, the conduct is not. We allege that Ishan and Nikhil Wahi engaged in insider trading by using material nonpublic information to trade securities. It’s that simple,” said Gurbir S. Grewal, Director of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement. 📈💡
📣 The Wahi brothers have chosen not to deny the SEC’s allegations – smart move, guys! 🔒
🔥 Additionally, both Ishan and Nikhil Wahi pleaded guilty to conspiracy to wire fraud in a separate criminal case. Ishan Wahi received a two-year sentence, while Nikhil Wahi got ten months. What a whirlwind! 🌪️⏳
