Coinbase executives, including CEO Brian Armstrong, are facing a lawsuit from shareholders alleging insider trading and concealment of critical information. The lawsuit, reported by Decrypt, claims executives and select investors knowingly hid violations of Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. Shareholders further allege the defendants neglected essential security obligations and failed to disclose ongoing regulatory investigations that spanned several years. During this period, the lawsuit states, these individuals allegedly sold billions of dollars worth of Coinbase stock, potentially profiting from privileged, non-public information. Board member Marc Andreessen is also named as a defendant. The outcome of this lawsuit could significantly impact Coinbase's reputation and future operations. ```
