Former OpenSea Manager Found Guilty of Insider Trading with NFTs

Nathaniel Chastain, a former product manager at OpenSea, has been convicted of fraud and money laundering for using inside knowledge of which assets would be featured on its home page to trade NFTs. He was accused of buying NFTs he had decided to feature on the OpenSea website and selling them shortly afterward to make more than $50,000 in illegal profit, in what federal prosecutors in Manhattan described as the first insider trading case involving digital assets.
