WASHINGTON (BLOOMBERG) - Federal prosecutors in Manhattan brought their first ever case for insider-trading in digital coins, charging a former Coinbase Global product manager with leaking information to help his brother and a friend buy tokens just before they were listed on the exchange.

The arrest on Thursday (July 21) of Ishan Wahi, who helped oversee listings for a Coinbase unit focused on investment products, follows a sweeping probe involving the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC also alleged Wahi violated the agency's anti-fraud rules.
